Taman Negara Is it really scary to go over Canopy Walkway
Posted: Mon June 16, 2008 03:33 PM UTC
Hi,
I am a bit scared of heights but would love to do the Canopy walkway crossing. Is it really secure/safe?
Is it well covered from both sides or is there a risk of falling?

Sorry for silly questions - but I hope you understand

thanks

Hi,

We are planning to go to Taman Negara National Park for 3D2N (2 nights) in 2nd week of July and need some help with selecting a package (hotel and guided tour of the different activities).

Please let us know if there is a good tour package available as we are going for the first time. Our budget is around 1000 MYR but if forced to increase, we might spend a bit more.

MANY THANKS FOR YOUR HELP

Taman Negara how to get there!
Posted: Mon March 10, 2008 09:35 PM UTC
Hi - does anyone know the best way to get to Taman Negara from the Swiss garden hotel in KL? I've just booked the hotel and now notice that the buses seem to go from the Istiana or Mutiara. I am getting really confused about the best way to get there and I want to get it right as we'll have our 8 yr old in tow! Thankyou.

Taman Negara How do I book train tickets via www.ktmb.com/my.
Posted: Thu December 13, 2007 05:37 PM UTC
I would be travelling from Sentral kuala lumpur to Jerantut on 31st jan 2008 and from Jerantut to Singapore on feb 3 2008. After I select the dates and the respective train on www.ktmb.com/my it shows availability as 0 for all coaches bcoz of which i cannot book tickets. Are getting these train tickets such a problem? The website states that it allows bookings 56 days prior to date of travel so that is not a problem. How do i overcome this difficulty bcoz of which my air tickets from India to Malaysia are on hold?

Taman Negara Tamen Negara - information
Posted: Fri November 9, 2007 06:05 PM UTC
The boat trip into TN takes about 3 hours - best not to drink too much of anything in the couple of hours before you get on the boat as it DON'T MAKE POTTY STOPS.

For men, a wide mouth plastic bottle is very useful.

The ride is bumpy - sit on your life vest.

If you have a 'brolly, keep it to hand.

TN is not as isolated as visitors are led to believe - it is only 50 minutes by car from K. Tembeling. A much more comfortable ride.

Taman Negara is late december a bad time to visit taman negara?
Posted: Thu November 8, 2007 01:25 AM UTC
Hi, guys. I just get some info saying that late December and January come rainy season for taman Negara. Unluckily, I shall only stay in Malaysia from 21st Dec to 27th Dec. Does it mean I should give up plan to visit TN while I really want to see rain forest, which is special to Malaysia, instead of historic Melaka and Penang. Do I have any chance to meet other backpackers in TN to share trek into forest? Also, is the weather then bearable for forest trekking?
Many thanks

Taman Negara General Enquiries On Solo Travel
Posted: Fri June 15, 2007 06:41 AM UTC
Hi.

I plan to travel to Taman Negara in two weeks time for a solo photography trip and I've only decided it last night on impulse upon hearing about this park. So I was wondering if any of you kind-hearted individuals could enlighten me on some questions that I have:

1) Would RM300 - RM500 be sufficient to cover accommodation (I don't mind budget hostels but at least a good decent aircon twin room), most of the activities (cave exploring, orang asli settlement, white water rafting, jungle trekking etc.)?

2) Can I just get to Taman Negara and decide over there whether I want to go on a guided tour or not?

3) Do I have to pre-book the room I'm staying at TN?

That's about it for now. Let me know, thanks!

Taman Negara Possible to book Tahan trip in advance?
Posted: Fri February 2, 2007 01:58 PM UTC
Hi

Is it possible to book a trek to Tahan in advance? We have only limited time, perhaps 3-4 days in addition to the 9 day trek and so cannot really wait around and hope others will turn up.

Thanks

Hi guys,

Can anyone tell us how to get to Langkawi from Taman Negara or Jerantut.
We are heading to Taman Negara and thereafter want to travel to Langkawi.

Any ideas? Is it easier to travel to Georgetown (Penang) first and then take the ferry crossing to Langkawi?

Many thanks
