Endau-Rompin National Park

Taman Negara, Johor

The basics

Named after the Endau and Rompin rivers that run through it, this national park offers rugged natural landscapes and plentiful wildlife spotting. Hike along rainforest trails, go river tubing, take a night safari on foot or by 4WD, meet the local Orang Asli people, and visit the waterfalls and lakes. Because you’ll need a 4WD vehicle to navigate the park’s rough roads, most travelers visit on tours from either Kuala Lumpur or Johor Bahru, or by arranging transport at the Park Headquarters at Kahang.

Things to know before you go

  • Accommodation is available in chalets at the Park Headquarters, and there are also a few campsites.

  • Bring insect repellent, a raincoat or umbrella, a flashlight, walking shoes, and socks to prevent leeches.

  • There are three entrances to the park. Peta is most convenient if you’re coming from Kuala Lumpur, while Mersing is best combined with a trip to Tioman Island. Selai is closest to the park’s waterfalls, tigers, and elephants.

Visit Taman Negara National Park

Northeast of Kuala Lumpur, the Taman Negara National Park also contains some of the world’s oldest rainforests, like Endau-Rompin. It’s more commonly visited too, and easily accessible from Kuala Lumpur, so you don’t need to prepare for such a rugged experience here. Walk along an exciting canopy walkway and climb the highest mountain in Peninsular Malaysia.
