Taman Negara could be expensive if
you go to the resort. Most people book this excursion in advance at their
travel agency.
It takes 3 or 4 days to visit Taman Negara.
It can be cheaper, if you're a backpacker or so. There's
also a youth hostal between the chalets in the resort.
Right opposite the resort, just across
the river, is a little place called "Kuala Tahan". In this
little town, which is just outside the National Park "Taman Negara",
are some hostels. You can stay there and in the daytime you can visit
the Park.
In the evening you can have dinner at one of those lovely floating restaurants in the
river. Even some people of the resort come for their dinner to those
floating restaurants.
If you like to visit Taman Negara, you need a permit, which will be checked by
the police if you cross the river to enter the Park.
But when you book by a tour operator these permits are included.
I put
on this page some advertisements, which I found in the local newspaper: the
New Strait Times. These advertisement are very profitable. Please contact the
Travel Agents and let you inform and ask them about the price of the package
deal. These packages seem fair to me.

NKS Hotel &
Travel sdn bhd Taman Negara Tour Specialist
John Orr (Australia) booked
a trip with the NKS to Taman Negara in November (rainy season). This
is, what he mailed about his trip with the NKS Taman Negara Tour
Specialist:
Hi Ben,
I was able to contact NKS and arranged a reasonable trip back in
mid-November 2002. Had rain once on the way up but had my poncho
raingear in the outer pocket of my pack so got covered quick enough to
keep myself & pack dry. I stayed across the river from the park at
the Ekoton Chalet (with a/c but no hot water because of a water
pressure problem). The food/drink across from the park was good very
reasonable
price. I got up early and took a boat taxi across the river around
07:45. Walked into the park restaurant and bought a glass of
sweet ice tea in a tall class for RM7.00 - outrageous price!
Across the river
from the park you can get coffee/tea and banana pancake and
scramble/fried/boiled egg and mixed fruit and "squesh oren"
RM8.00 for everything on the NKS floating restaurant!!!
Anyway, I walked alone down the trail to the canopy walkway and
arrived around 08:45 to find a sign saying the walkway opens at 10:30
ha ha! Another passenger on the same boat as I walked up around 09:00
and we
talked until the attendants opened the place up.
Thanks for the suggestion on NKS! I took lots of pictures and
have one posted at my homepage of the canopy walkway athttp://home.ix.netcom.com/~jworr/
