Tuesday December 4th - Tanah Rata to Taman Negara National Park

A long day on the bus to Taman Negara National Park, 8 hours.

with Shanita, Lind and Alexander a German guy who worked in Norway

Weather fine on arrival

We had planned to take a 3day 2 night trek with a guide. The itinerary for this :

Day 1, Trek 8k through jungle

Night 1, sleep in a cave, where there are jungle rats. It is apparently also visited by elephants and tigers on occasions, so the guides say.

Day 2, Trek 8k through jungle

Night 2, Stay in native village watch villagers make poison darts and try out blow pipe.

Day 3, Spend the day with the tribe and get a boat back .



On speaking to the guide we weren't too impressed. Shanita went ahead with the trip but the rest of us decided to do some day treks ourselves.
