There's 2
places you can choose to stay in Taman Negara. Taman Negara Resort or Kuala Tahan. Taman Negara Resort
This resort is located
inside the national park. It's on the other side of Kuala Tahan. The park's border is the
Tembeling river. Beautiful Malay style air condition chalet with prices ranging from
RM200++.
Kuala Tahan
On the other hand,
Kuala Tahan is a small village and it's not inside the park. There's plenty of cheap
chalets and dormitory with prices starting from RM10++. However, you won't feel like
staying inside the jungle because it's quite noisy here with sounds of the running
motorboats, cars and lorries. Nusa Camp, another local resort is further
up the river has a much more peaceful surrounding. You can ask the people in the floating
restaurant, they will be happy to give you information on the places you can stay.
Camping
Camping inside the park
is the best way to really enjoy the nature. Camping gear can be rent. Check with the
Wildlife Department first before you setup your camp.
We stay at
the Tembeling River View Chalet. The chalet is overlooking the Tembeling
river. There's a small restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner and also a souvenir
shop. Room for 2 person is RM30 per night without bathroom, while RM40 for room with
bathroom. I like this place, it's cooling with rain trees surroundings the place. We still
can hear the motorboat engine sound coming from the river.
