This jungle adventure is one of our most popular Malaysia trips. It's a journey into Taman Negara National Park – the world’s oldest tropical rainforest and a well-trodden favourite for travellers. It’s a popular place, so you won’t have it to yourself, but it’s easy to see why so many people come here. You’ll drift along twisting rivers lined with lush jungle, take a night walk to spot wildlife and nocturnal insects, and sleep in a wooden bungalow on the edge of the park. During the day, you can head out on guided walks or visit indigenous tribes living in the area.

Taman Negara is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Malaysia. Early booking is highly recommended to guarantee rooms in the Mutiara hotel.

Days 1-2 – Kuala Lumpur to Taman Negara & explore

From Kuala Lumpur’s Chinatown, you’ll hop on a bus and head to the border of Taman Negara National Park. Here you’ll take a small wooden boat along the jungle-flanked Sungai Tembeling River to your comfortable resort in the rainforest – the Mutiara Taman Negara – which will be your home for the next two nights. There will be time to settle in before setting off into the jungle as the sun begins to set on a night walk. You’ll be surrounded by the sounds of the rainforest as you search for wildlife and insects hiding in the darkness.

Day 3-4 – Explore the rainforest & departure

After breakfast the next day, an experienced guide will take you on a hike to Teresek Hill, a mountain top in the middle of the jungle. You’ll walk up to get a beautiful view of the Taman Negara National Park and Gunung Tahan, the highest mountain in West Malaysia. Continue your jungle exploration to the Canopy Walkway, where you can experience a birds eye view of the rainforest from a height of 45 metres above the forest floor. Your final day is free to relax or continue your exploration.

Due to fallen trees and ongoing reconstruction of the canopy, the canopy walkway is temporarily closed. Please note that some activities may be adjusted on the day of your visit.

Taman Negara is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Malaysia, attracting visitors from across the world. If you would prefer a less touristic, rainforest adventure check out our Endau Rompin trip.
