Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Forest
Taman Negara rainforest
The forest of Taman Negara is home to dense tropical environments and streams. Accesses must follow the park's permissions; a forest photograph does not promise the encounter of particular species.
Village
Kuala Tahan
Kuala Tahan is located near the confluence that serves as the entrance door to the park's tourist sector. The village and the banks are inhabited areas, with crossings and services to be confirmed locally.
Viewpoint
Bukit Teresek
Bukit Teresek is a viewpoint accessible by a forest path in the Kuala Tahan area. The slopes, heat and condition of the trail require a suitable preparation and respect for the openings of the park.
Confluence
Tahan and Tembeling confluence
Tahan joins the Tembeling at the foot of the Kuala Tahan area. The views from the authorized shores allow to read this river landscape; water levels, currents and boat services vary according to the season.
