TAMAN NEGARA TAHAN, JERANTUT PAHANG

Hye all :D

I'm Syafiqah. just to share some information and my experience about national park, Pahang.

This picture was taken at Taman negara. Taman Negara is one of the Oldest Jungle in Malaysia. Taman Negara was declared for conservation in 1938 and has become Malaysia's premier national park and the largest in the country covering over 4343 square kilometres of primary forest , spans across three sates Kelantan , Terengganu and Pahang. and is situaed in the centre of th Peninsula Malaysia. Taman Negara is the most extensive protected area of pristine, lowland, evergreen rainforest in the country. Taman Negara originated  from a Pahang tae Legislation in 1925 and in the district of  Jerantut. The purpose of Taman Negara in "to utilise the land within the park in perpetuity, for the propagation, protection and preservation of indigeneous flora and fauna".

There are many ways to go to this place. since I was from Jerantut, I can go here by car. It takes time around 1 hour to reach here. Another way is you can go by bus. But you have to take the bus at the Jerantut Town. Then it will brings you here. The last one is , you can take a boat from the jetty Kuala Tembeling and it will take you to the National Park. If you are taking a boat, you will see the beautiful view of Sungai Tembeling.

Whereby on Friday is will open from 9am to 12noon. If we want to walk at the Canopy Walkway, we have to walk through the jungle first to rach here. It is like we are taking a short jungle trekking.
