The national park is beautiful and the canopy walk makes your heart race but offers spectacular views. Saw a family of wild boar and various wildlife. Did get bitten by leeches though so take a lighter or vinegar so remove them - don't pull them off leaving teeth in and risking infection. More

Taman Negara the national park deserves 5 stars. The vast majority of people running tours, the sour faced people charging a fortune for disgusting food and accomodation deserve less than one star. I first went to Taman Negara 10 years ago, and went again last week. I booked a ticket with local travel desk ( I think NKS Travel) to... More

Taman Negara is a great place to base yourself for a few jungle treks, wether short day hikes to week long yomps. But it is extremely touristy which tends to ruin the place a bit. The one resort on the place is nice and fancy, but is extremely overpriced and it is not necessary to stay there; it is much... More

We did a tour of the place with Han Travel which is pretty much the only company that has services for tourists wanting to visit the national park. Can't actually remember a good thing about it, so I'll just go ahead and list the negatives. Cons: -boat transfer to the park happens in a 1920s junkie of a boat (someting... More

We visited TN National Park during our recent Malaysia vacation, in Sep 2009. I'll confess that I had much higher expectations of this rainforest. I have been to good & better forests in India for sure - Bandhavgarh, Kanha, Gir, Dandeli, etc. But this was the first rainforest I have been to. In my 2-days, the only animal I got... More

Read a lot about this place before we went and had a variety of reviews. Went with NKS in the end and booked it at Mandarin Palace in KL. They are very well organised, evertthing happened on time and as they said it would. The travelling is tiring, for 55 year olds anyway, but not too much. Boat trip was... More

When we went we were the only people at the chalet. It was a truly unforgettable experience and the best food I had whilst in Malaysia chef there asked what I liked and tailored it to suit my taste nice and spicy. We paid the entrance fee and camera fee it is recommended to have a guide. Our guide asked... More
