Hi

As per topic, is Taman Negara a great place to travel to?
Please state the reason for your answer.

Thanks

Which one are you referring to? But anyway, Mulu in Sarawak is among the best in the world.

Yea which Taman Negara u refering to? I vote no clue.

Oops

What Purpose?

This Decision Also Need Poll?

I just came back from Taman Negara in Pahang, very tired but very fun. Suggest you go with your friends who also love jungle if you do not wish to have bad memories.

I spend only RM363 per person with a 3 days 2 night trip plus Night Jungle Safari, its a full board package (with tour guide), of coz meals include.

If you are interested, just check with Han Travel Sdn Bhd.

^yes
there is alot of taman negara in malaysia
studied during primary school..but sry forgotten ady

eevean: where did you stay for RM363?

I just came back from Taman Negara..went there last weekend..also signed up with Han Travel..

my experience was pretty crappy...booked a chalet called Ekoton which has attached bathroom twin sharing chalet..paid RM405 per pax for the whole package(I booked during MATA fair somemore)..add RM30 for another night safari on a 4X4..

when I was there..there was NO WATER SUPPLY! If I knew that there were no water supply I would have paid lesser for a hostel or something which has no attach bathroom..ended up has to pay 1 buck per shower at a nearby resort toilet...

screw Ekoton..if anyone of you is planning to go to Taman Negara..either you camp or just go with those none-bathroom attach rooms or chalet or hostel..or pay more for mutiara hotel for better comfort..

just be prepared to have no water supply..dirty toilets..stinking caves..tough jungle tracks..mosquitos...dirty cloths...etc etc etc..

OH YES...and please..make sure you take a GOOD shit before you leave to Taman Negara..I had to tahan 3 days without shitting until I finally reach home...

activities wise its AWESOME! I'm happy I did it..but if you ask me if I wanna go again? HELL NO MAN! hahaha...I'm a typical city boy...

I hv been to Taman Negara Pahang(4x) and also the Mulu National Park(1x) in S'wak. In terms of costs(if you r from Penisula) you will definately pay more for the Mulu trip because of the flight. Do remember that you will hv to take connecting flight to Mulu(MASWings) or take the ~8? hr boat ride there.

For Tmn Negara Pahang, I recently went with Tahan Holidays for a 3d2n trip for RM500+ full board at Rainforest Resort. This includes return transport as well. The standard programs are night jungle walk, hike up Bukit Teresek, Canopy Walkway, Gua Telinga, Rapid shooting, Orang Asli settlements, Lata Berkoh and Kelah Fish Santuary. I hv been going to Tmn Negara with Tahan Holidays twice and Im happy with their programs and their guide. No screw ups. Food is good, accomodations is great... with a snake as a guest in my friends room. Haha.

Now for the Mulu National Park. I fly with AA to Miri, the flight to mulu takes about 40mins. Pls. give some gap/time between the your incoming flight to miri and outgoing flight to Mulu. I reach Miri airport at ~10.30 and my flight to Mulu is at ~12.00. I still hv some time just incase my flight to Miri is delayed.
Stayed at Royal Mulu Resort and it was worth it, a very beautiful resort. The entire resort is built on stilts which is approx 3m above grounds. Expensive but well worth the $$. Went to the show caves, namely Wind Cave, Clearwater cave, Lang Cave & Deer Cave. You will be suprised at the structure of the caves.

If you hv the $$$, i would say, visit Mulu first. I would love to go back there again in the future. My Mulu gallery is here and Taman Negara Pahang is here. Happy viewing. Hope my info helps.

Taman Negara now is very comercialise alde unlike when i went about 10 years ago. If for city people wan to have a break in jungle,, taman negara is not bad. Very relaxing ambience and peaceful. Animal(dear n snake and monkey) will come to your campsite or resort so can have close encounter. My favourite part is still sit the boat along the river. Then stop one side and just jump into the water where no one else is around. The water is dam clear and cooling. Will straight forget about the polution in the city. Also hope people can learn about our environment there.

BTW,if anyone going gunung tahan and dun mind me tumpang ur trip, please PM me.

I am planning a trip to Gunung Tahan with my frens come this May 2009. Anyone can share with me how to go about it? Need to book before going? How to arrange for the trip? Thanks. Your help is greatly appreciated.

man I still have fond memories of my school trip to taman negara pahang....i went twice!!!! I love the ice kachang there. I think it was called Gunung Tahan Ice Kachang. Probably look very big size since I was still a little kid 10 years ago haha

Nice place bad food

Voted no...
LOL. Cuz I hate jungle n stuff.

I like jungle..fresh air..birds sounds and to see animals..

I love Taman Negara.
Have been there once (Pahang).
Missing it now....

I just met a couple from Sweden yesterday. brought them to a nearby waterfall. After the waterfall, they told me that they have decided that compared to that waterfall, Taman Negara is not even worth a second thought. They have been there and said it is too commercialized and there is practically nothing to see.

Well...that is what THEY say anyway.

Perhaps the only way to find out is to go there oneself.

Frankly, commercialization is something that can not be stopped......any popular spot is bound to have lots of people going in then to accomodate them, new spots are built up and to look nicer. When I went there 10years ago it was already built like a resort.....so.......probably they need to find new spots then

been to pahang's taman negara. i love it alot. dun think anymore... just go!
