Taman Negara in Kuala Tahan

Jetty in Kuala Tahan

First and foremost, let me share a little bit story on Taman Negara. In 1938, Taman Negara was called as the King George National Park and it was established at the Titiwangsa Mountains in Malaysia. Then, after independence, it was renamed to Taman Negara which literally means "National Park". Taman Negara encompasses 3 states in Malaysia which are Pahang, Kelantan, and Terengganu. The park has been developed into a famous ecotourism destination in Malaysia.Also, there are several geological and biological attractions there. 

(1) Transportation and Local Tour Operator

From Kuala Lumpur to the entrance of the park at Kuala Tahan, the journey will involve 3 hours on the bus followed by 2 hours 30 minutes on the boat from jetty to Taman Negara. The arrangement of transportation from Kuala Lumpur to Kuala Tahan will be done by local tour operator.

(2) Geological and Biological Attractions

There is home of some rare mammals which are Malayan tiger, Crab-eating Macaque, Sumatran Rhinoceros, Malayan Gaur, and Asian Elephant.

Besides, Tahan River also has been preserved to protect Malaysian Mahseer which is Ikan Kelah in Malay.

Last but not least, the tourists who love to climb, they can use Kuala Tahan or Merapoh as their departure point because Gunung Tahan is the highest point of the Malay Peninsular where it is the place of climbing activities will be held.

Selfie early in the morning in front of " mari-mari '" guest house before doing our survey  . For the accommodation, we choose " mari-mari" because it near to the city and it is very affordable .

 We choose bicycle to walk around Malacca city . It is very fun . Only Rm 10 per day . It is cheap , right ? You can go everywhere you want . But , it must be remember that the road is only one way . You must be careful . Sometime, the traffic congestion is very worse .

This park looks really beutiful , right?  This place was named " Taman Bunga Merdeka" near to Dataran Pahlawan .this is the center of Malacca city .whenever i want to meet or gather with my group members, we will decide this place because it is easy to reach  . Also, the scenery looks really, really, really nice .You don't believe it ? Go there once and try to be there for selfie ( of course ) , relax and enjoy the beauty of nature.

" Tamin Sari Tower " This is also the best part that you can try with your friends, family or partner maybe.

You see the river ? and you see the development of city around the river ? before this, there is only a few building around that , and only the river .But , after Malacca was declared under UNESCO ,  people in Malacca need to renovate their house but not too much . This is due to look it more beautiful and encourage many tourists or visitors to go there .
