Malaysia Paninsular National Parks, Pahang, Taman Negara
大汉山国家公园, 彭亨州属, 马来西亚半岛
Discover
the wonders of an ancient forest at Mutiara Taman Negara. Pitch tent or
check-into this forest reserve and bask in the natural surroundings of the
Taman Negara park. Mutiara Taman Negara, an eco-tourism Resort that offers a
variety of accommodation types promises guests this unique experience with
basic amenities and sufficient modern comforts.
A
virgin jungle expanse covering 4,343 square kilometres, Taman Negara was
established in 1939 and is the largest park in peninsular Malaysia reputed to
be The Best Kept Tropical Rainforest, thanks to its protected status. With
minimal damage to this special ecosystem, Mutiara Taman Negara is dimly lit to
avoid scaring off wildlife and conserves energy. Everything used is
biodegradable and all the wooden chalet interiors are made of natural produce.
Guests
at Mutiara Taman Negara will wake to the drone of cicadas, the chirping of bird
species new to them and a myriad of other unfamiliar sounds that form a
consistent cacophony unique to rainforests. You will begin their adventure at
your door step or veranda which makes a perfect perch especially for nocturnal
sightings. Sighting wildlife outside the chalet is a norm and the fruit season
attracts the most number of wildlife, from the mischievous long tailed
macaques, the beautiful chestnut-breasted malkoha and the thorny porcupine to
the gentle slow loris.
The
ancient life forms that blanket Taman Negara are impressive and during each
visit, Mutiara Taman Negara gives its visitors the opportunity to glimpse at
the flora and fauna species estimated at 10,000 plants, 150,000 insects, 25,000
invertebrates, 675 birds, 270 reptiles, 250 freshwater fish and 200 mammals.
Some of the flora and fauna found in Taman Negara are rare or indigenous to
this country.
If
you are not travelling with a group, you can plan your trip to Mutiara Taman
Negara well before you arrive or enlist the help of guides at the Park Centre.
Things to do at Mutiara Taman Negara include river cruises, guided walks, bird
watching, fishing, swimming by waterfalls and night safaris.
The
world’s longest suspended canopy walk is the most popular activity in this
rainforest and you have to be prepared to queue for a while. Secured 40 metres
above the forest floor, visitors have a good vantage point from here and if
lucky, you can sight some curious animals. The only people who are allowed to
hunt and forage are its original inhabitants, the Orang Asli people who still
live a nomadic lifestyle. They farm, fish and hunt in the park and nowadays
play host to curious visitors armed with flashy cameras. The women may shy away
but the men folk can put on a show with some advance notice.
Travelling
to Mutiara Taman Negara, guests can either do the four hour scenic drive down
or board a coach from a designated location in Kuala Lumpur for a 3 hour drive
down followed by a 3 hour boat trip down river.
Getting There
You can either drive or take the public transport, passing through the towns of Kuala Lipis by south or Gua Musang by north along the Kuala Lumpur-Kota Bahru road. Those taking the train disembark at Merapoh Stations or Gua Musang Stations.

North Entrance: Kuala Koh, Kelantan
The entrance to the Kelantan side of Taman Negara was only opened in 1995. Although it is slope-filled area with many bamboo species, the name "Koh" comes from the local Kelantanese name for a type of palm; known in standard Malays as "palma daun payung" and is seen along the upper estuarues at 1,000m high. Kuala Koh is also a historic area where Mat Kilau, a malay warrior who fought against British occupation, lived in and launched his resistance efforts. This entryway is said to have the best potential for wildlife sightings, maybe due to the denser undisturbed jungle.
