Taman Negara National Park

Taman Negara National Park was established in Malaysia in 1938/1939 as the King George V National Park. It was renamed to Taman Negara after independence, which literally means “national park” in Malay. Taman Negara (total area 4,343 km²) has a reputation as the world’s oldest tropical rainforest. Malaysia’s largest park, Taman Negara has remained intact for over 130 million years due to its prime location.

Taman Negara encompasses three states, Pahang, Kelanatan and Terengganu, each with its own legislation.

The park has been developed into a famous ecotourism destination in Malaysia. There are several geological and biological attractions in the park. Gunung Tahan is the highest point of the Malay Peninsula; climbers can use Kuala Tahan or Merapoh as their departure point. Tahan River has been preserved to protect the Malaysian mahseer (ikan kelah in Malay), a type of game fish. The applied photos could show you the great beauty of the river, wild life over it and the picturesque views to be seen everywhere!

Others attractions found near Kuala Tahan (Park headquarters for Pahang) include a canopy walkway, Gua Telinga (cave system), Lata Berkoh (rapid). Visitors can enjoy the tropical rain forest, birdwatching or jungle trekking and the river views along the Tahan River.
