Thanks for the time we spent with you in the rainforest. The best bit about visiting different countries is being able to see the natural environment. It was awesome to see and spend time in the oldest rainforest in the world with knowledgeable friendly guide. An experience I won’t forget. Thank you very much. With lots of love. - Flip (England)
Thanks very much for fabulous trek. A real adventure. As a guide and person you're the best! Your knowledge and expertise in the jungle seems limitless. And your company always warm. superb value for money. All the best of luck, I will recommend you highly and also have your email address!! Take care.

While I certainly don’t consider myself to be a Tarzan, I like to think that my previous trekking experience (Mexico, Costa Rica rainforest & volcano cordillera, Patagonian Andes & Northern Chile Anders, and of course, Canadian parks inside out) provides credible background for what follows.
I have spent 3 days in KENING RIMBA PARK (KRP) & 2 days in TAMAN NEGARA (TN). The first as part of Green Park Adventure Team (gPat) tour designed and organized by Azam. The second on our own, my girlfriend and I.
Although Mother Nature gas been equally generous with both parks, human nature, however, makes these 2 parks 2 different experiences for those who only have a few days to spend in this area. In a nutshell, let me tell you this: After spending a unique experience with our guide in KRP, the 2 days we spend in TN on our own seemed like a Sunday walk through an amusement park! Not that I have anything against a Sunday walk through a gentle park; it’s simply that in my book, a trek should be, by definition, a challenge to surmount in that respect KRP was,TN was not!
KRP was jungle in its simplest, more nature form, while TN was contaminated by human presence (the boats on the way there are full of tourists, the river itself is full of those boats, on the trails you constantly came across other groups etc). Unless you have several days to venture deep into the park (I would say at least 5), you will likely be disappointed if you are in search of the real thing.
On the other hand, our 3 days in KRP felt like genuine jungle stuff. On the way there, we only saw a few locals fishing or investigating their rubber tree resource. The dominating factor in KRP is nature. Right away, you know it’s going to be real jungle experience. The trails are vaguely visible, human presence is limited to yours and, I found the trek in KRP a unique experience because I learned so much (to surprise!) about surviving in the jungle and because I was confronted with fear, which I had not experienced in a long time.
Walking 4-5 hours with my backpack in a tropical forest ranks medium on my scale of difficulty for treks. However, if you combine it (gPat has) with crawling into caves, coming across a cobra into it, being sucked by leaches, half sleeping in the cave at night, walking up in the middle of the night with bats over you and a 4 inch hairy spider only about 2 foot from you with jungle sounds in the background, you can an upgrade from medium to hard! Maybe I’m a wimp and I just hadn’t realized it, but I’m challenging anyone to do something like this without a guide!
Thanks,
My comment is simple:
You want to see tourist walking around a national park, go to Taman Negara. You want to go and see, smell, hear, be in the real jungle, do it here at Kenong Rimba Park. You'll come out tired, smelling really bad, sweating with bites and scratches but smiling and having done something really worth while.
I thought the balance between the trekking and experiencing the jungle was exactly right. Not too physically demanding and just about long enough to experience the jungle without getting too tired. I found the night times a bit scary but they made you feel like part of the jungle and made you realize that humans are not the king of it.
Insect repellent, leech repellent, insect repellent! Had an AMAZING time. We did the 5 star thing, the beach thing, the no star thing & if you're going to do anything in Malaysia, make sure it's this! We did things I would have never thought I'd be able to do. I was laughing at the comments about scary nights. But it honestly is! Unbelievable sounds kept me up all night.
