Taman Negara
This is peninsular Malaysia's largest national park. This is one of favorite spots in Asia, due to the combination of beautiful and wild rainforest, but with easy access, cheap and handy accommodation, and good trails. I love it.
my involvement:
I have visited and travelled this park about 5 times in the last 15 years. I went most recently in 2009 to photograph plants and animals for an upcoming book in the Ecosystem Guide series on the "Tropical Rainforest of South-east Asia".
Background
Taman Negara is over 4000 square kilometres in size, making it by far the largest national park in peninsular Malaysia. It was originally set up as a game reserve in 1925. Then in 1939 it was established as a national park, the King George V Park. After Malaysia gained its independence, it was renamed Taman Negara, which literally means Park National in Bahasa.
activities include the canopy walk...
beautiful rainforest and lots of wildlife..
More to come...(May 2010)
