Overnighter in the Jungle: two-day trek in the Taman Negara National Park, Malaysia.




We spent two fantastic days trekking in the jungle! Before heading to the beginning of the path far into the forest, we did the super touristy canopy walk. Bivouacked in a beautiful cave with a camp fire and cooked meals... the porcupines even paid us a visit during the night. Steamy hot during the day and a cooling lightning storm during the night.

(Unedited photos, crappy quality. Both my dslr and phone lenses were filthy after walking in the humid jungle!)

Getting to Taman Negara National Park, Malaysia.




"Oh my gawwd, I caaan't believe it. It is like, you know, like in the movies... when they go to the juuungle... I am really hhappy!" Gülay was pleasantly surprised about that boat ride from Kuala Lipis to Kuala Tahan. And so was I! That ride was magical, sadly we didn't see any wildlife other than butterflies, buffalos and fishes. It took a few hours to reach Kuala Tahan, but it was well worth the trip!
