Day tour Rainforest Taman Negara + bonus stop Batu Caves

Day 1 Tour Rainforest Taman Negara bonus stop iconic Batu Caves

6am Complimentary pick up from your Kuala Lumpur hotel lobby and depart for Kuala Tahan in Taman Negara where all activities begin. Drive time per way 3 1/2 hours.

If you had paid for breakfast, please ask your hotel to pack your breakfast which you can have in the car. Otherwise we can get breakfast on the way. 

On arrival at Kuala Tahan, tour begins as boat and nature guide on the ready.

Jungke trek to the canopy walkway (closed Fridays) for a bird's eye view of the world's oldest rainforest. Then jump onto a forestry boat for a rapids shooting run and the boatman skilfully negotiates 7 sets of rapids to reach an authentic aborigine village, where the women shy away and the men "run" away only to reappear with their fire making tools and blowpipe for a "native" demonstration. You can partake in the activities. They are naive people and the rainforest is their supermarket. They sustain their living by fishing, hunting smaller animals, selling medicinal herbs and making souvenirs like blowpipes. 

The aborigines are being rehabilitated and soon they would be no more. 

The experienced Nature guide will belt out facts and taboos of the jungle. 

Return to jetty to freshen up and return to Kuala Lumpur.

Enroute bonus visit the iconic Batu Caves to climb 272 steps into the temple of Hindu deity honored during Hindu festival. Ladies to be properly attired - knees and shoulders to be covered. You will then be dropped off at your Kuala Lumpur hotel. End of tour. 

Note: Breakfast and lunch not included but you will be guided to good restaurants.
