Day 2
After breakfast depart by road for Kuala Tembling on the Pahang River. Here you will transfer to boats for your trip up Kuala Tahan. This is a very scenic boat ride giving glimpses of rural life along the river. During times when the water level is low, you may have to get out of the boat and help of push it up over some shallow rapids. You will have a fine introduction to many of the Malaysian forest species such as Babblers, Barbets, Birds of Prey, Fairy Bluebird, Broadbills, Bulbuls, Crows, Cuckoos, Cuckoo-Shrikes, Doves, Drongos, Flowerpeckers, Flycatchers, Game Birds, Grackles, Hornbills, Kingfishers, Leafbirds, Minivets, Nightjars, Orioles, Owls, Parrots, Pigeons, Pittas, Rollers, Spiderhunters, Sunbirds, Thrushes, Trogons and Woodpeckers. For deluxe tours accommodation will be in air conditioned chalets and standard tours in air conditioned guesthouse.

One of the most important "natural" delights in the country is the Taman Negara National Park which is located at the very heart of Pahang's tropical forest. Sprawled across 4,343 square kilometres of verdant tropical beauty, Taman Negara (formerly the King George V National Park) lush foliage dates back as far as 130 million years - older even than the mysteries of the Congo and the Amazon.

Trees that are hundreds of years old form a giant canopy above you as you enter the park which is accessible through Jerantut which acts as its main entry point.

Most of Taman Negara lies on sedimentary rocks, predominantly sandstone that has metamorphosed to quartzite around intrusions to exhibit some of the most spectacular land forms in the peninsula.

It is undoubtedly the untouched element of Taman Negara that most fascinates visitors to the park. They marvel at the diversity of habitats and plant life, its giant tropical trees, limestone caves, animals roaming in the wild and the friendly Orang Asli (indigenous tribes that live in the park).

Visitors to Taman Negara will surely leave the park with a greater awareness of the glories of nature as they would have been exposed to its many special features. After all, how could you not appreciate the uniqueness of nature if you have lived and walked among its oldest varieties? And of course, the best way to experience Taman Negara is to spend a few days exploring its many treasures.

While at Taman Negara, your main activities would, of course, feature the joys of nature appreciation. Jungle trekking offers an unforgettable opportunity for the visitor to experience first-hand the extraordinary beauty of nature at its best. From the park's headquarters in Kuala Tahan, visitors can choose to explore a number of well-marked trails with each trail promising different adventures.

Cavers will be fascinated by the ancient drawings of Gua Telinga (Ear Cave). While exploring the cave which is carved through a limestone outcrop by a stream which runs through it, visitors will be fascinated by its mystery and enjoy the magnificent view of the emerald jungle after climbing to the peak of Bukit Guling Gendang.

There are lots of photo opportunities at Taman Negara. The abundant wildlife which can be viewed from the many observation hides make for many a holiday snapshot.

Days 3-6
A good network of marked trails as well as rivers will help us in exploring this magnificent park. The area has an abundance of birds and you will be surprised when you see hornbills land in trees just beside your chalet. Some semi tame deer and wild pigs roam around the vicinity of the park headquarters. The butterflies are truly amazing and after a swim in the nearby river, you find they come and sit on you. One or two nights will be spent in the specially built observation hides to look for deer, tapir, civet cats, elephants and tiger. Taman Negara is rich in all the above species and has the additional benefit of large rivers providing habitats for Bee-eaters, Broadbills, Forktails and Kingfishers.

Day 7
We start with a boat trip back to Kuala Tembling before starting on a spectacular drive to Fraser's Hill through some magnificent mountain forest with plenty of opportunity to see some of the wild life.

Deluxe tours use the Quest Hotel (formerly called the Merlin Inn Resort) and standard tours the Gap Government Resthouse situated some 6 km below Fraser's Hill.
