Welcome to the Jungle



Taman Negara

From The Perhentians we headed on train to the Tropical rainforest national park in Taman Negara. The humidity was high and the canopy was dense. All the signs were there to say this really was a tropical rainforest!

















We walked around exploring the different trails that were open and mapped. Some of the life was stunning, both animal and plant. My finger was poised on my camera trigger full-time.


























We met a group of three English girls and took a look at the Canopy Walkway. This 'rope bridge' was suspended 50 ft above the ground amongst the tree tops. It was surprisingly long and sturdy. They recommended a 5 metre gap between walkers to avoid stressing any one area too much.
