Jungle Trekking

Jungle Trekking

Trekking is conducted at Cemerong and Berembun Forest Reserve in Taman Negara on the Terengganu side of the border. It boasts the towering Cemerong and Lansir Waterfalls. The trek is alongside 400 meters of cascading waterfall under the canopy of the rainforests. On the trek, the vegetation changes from rainforests to wild orchids and stunt trees higher up the mountain near the tree line. These mountain ranges provide an exhilarating and challenging climb to most mountaineers.
