i am looking at taman negara tours for 3d2n this year and i got one from kiara holidays for RM380. here is the itenary break down

1day
-12 check in chalet and do cave exploring, jungle tracking, fishing, camp fire
-at night do night walk

2day
-either go water rafting, 4x4 adventure or go see orang asli home (choose 1)
-at night free and easy at town hotel

3day
-breakfast , check out and go back home

all these include meals but not transportation. Do you think its expensive?

I am still looking else where got different package for 3d2n. If you know where to get a good deal let me know where it is. it could be from the tour agent or the resort themself. i want to find out more before i book one as my friend told me rm380 is a little on the high side.

hi, i am from Jerantut where it is a gate way to reach taman negara.

seriously there is nothing much in taman negara and i wonder why tourists like to go there...

i am local so i went there without over night there.so, rm380 is a bit expensive as there are not much activities.

the most enjoying part is the canopy walk.

there is a travel agency around pudu area. you can try the HANS travel agency or the NKS travel agency.

Why not consider doing it yourself? Take your own sweet time and explore the place.
I think Taman Negara is developed enough for anyone to explore it easily enough.
Gives you more flexibility. Not fixed to 'agendas', perhaps even more relaxing.

well...i never been to taman negara so might as well go in and see the forest. something new gotta try ma.

Rm380 on the high side eh...damn...i gotta really look around. i will call more tour agent and see how they arrange for me the package and price

if you have some info about taman negara do share with us. Thanks.

Umm.... If we wanna go for Taman Negara Pahang for just a day trip, is dat possible?
We're from Subang and we're wondering how to get there. Anyone help us out? Thanks

I have been there through road track. Now the road already in good shape (tarmax). Last time about 2 hours ride from existing kampung. Now i dont know maybe much faster. Last time i just used my proton saga to get to kuala tahan (jetty and floating restaurant).

There is a parking zone just opposite the jetty. U can park there all nite just pay some fees.

Yo guys,

Anyone of you been to Taman Negara for a 5D4N or 4D3N trekking?

Im planning to go there in the coming months. It will be a hardcore trekking where it involve river crossing, mountain climbing and sleeping in caves.

Have contacted a few rangers for quotation but dun have any replies yet.
Anyone of you here can recommend anybody?

Thanks.

I went Pahang Tmn Negara before. Tired but Fun. But make sure you are those who like to jungle trek or natural scene. Dont expect 5star facility over there.

Dont miss out the cave (forgotten what name) in Pahang. It is worth a try even thought it is tiring.

KL->Karak Highway -> East Coast Highway->Temerloh (Exit)->Jerantut->Kuala Tembeling Jetty

Check the followed map.
Take the Karak Highway, the one you go to Genting Highland one.

Trip Update:
Just done my 2 days 1 nite XPDC over there.

The trip was pleasant but the river crossing and the floating restaurant is a bit of let down.

RM300 for 2 person all inclusive.

Cheap and nice.

taman negara is the place where u can get sum peace of mind,u either can go in just enjoy the viewing of the rainforest,stay at there for few days to relax urself,there is alot of cheap room that u can get and it's not as costly as some of u might think......
For those wan to enjoy the activities,just pay alittle bit more then u can enjoy the activities....All the activities is lead by all guide (which all is goverment guide),that y the cost for activities is alittle bit high,but still affordable la....One thing is true thou,dun expect good food inside.......WHY?...dunno leh.....
Im not trying to promote anything.....but im working at Han Travel.....so anyone wan to go in...can call me anytime,i will be handling all the things,from ur transport till ur accommodation,we have an office at Komplex Selangor, petaling Street,u can try to talk with my collegue.......once again,im not trying to promote anything(coz im not salesman in han travel).....


FYI.
There is no such thing as,Taman Negara is for those love the jungle,but not suitable for city boy,coz for me(before i work for Han Travel),as long as the trip is lovely,excited,u go with a bunch of ur frenz,even u do a day trip at kampong also very fun....myself,every year,me and my frenz all will organize a trip go to sum place in malaysia,the point for it is 1st for gathering,2nd is to relax ourselves.......

Anybody drive to Tmn Negara resort before? means bypassing boat ride

And is it safe to park over there???

Yup.. u can by passing all that as there is a road leading to taman Negara.... U have to follow from Jerantut....

IMO, it is safe as there is a place there to park ur car... Most probably, u'll be staying on the other side of Taman Negara and not on the park itself.... In order to go to the park, u will have to do it by boat... Per way is RM1 fee...

For me, I just went to Taman Negara last week, for 4 Days 3 Nights trip... It was FUN!!! Among the activities that we done:-

1. Night Walk - get to see all kinds of spiders, insects, scorpion, deers (a group of them drinking) and boars (at the Mutiara Resort)
2. Jungle Trekking to Bukit Terasek
3. Canopy Walking
4. Cave Exploration - Gua Telinga (dis was the best activity - We are lucky to see a snake in action of trying to munch flying bats, got to see gigantic toad and for me, i sapu all the bat droppings as the pathways are sooooo small and u have to crawl inside.... hahahahaha)
5. Rapid Shooting - got wet thanx to my tourguide...
6. Picnic at Kelah Sanctuary - I lepaskan one of the kelah fishes and got a cretificate for that... yeay!!
7. trip to Lata Berkoh - a very nice spot to relax

hehehe... in short, i had sooo much fun!!! Next, i'm planning to go there again but his time, i want to camp there instead and drive there myself.. which can save me $$$$ and time.....

Aida, How much you used for all the activity? Plan to go there next month

owh ya... my package costs me RM802 per person which includes meals, return transfers (coach and boat).... wat makes it expensive is the coach and boat rides (coach = RM70 per person per way + boat = RM35 per person per way) ...but for me, it's worth every penny....

Added on May 17, 2010, 11:00 pmhow many people are u planning to go? will u be driving there or by boat? if u plan to camp there and drive there urself, u can save loads of $$$... maybe i can give u my guide's number.... he can offer you a good price.... and he can give you tours for reasonable price....
