On the bus with the scanky backpackers which I am also one.
We are now leaving Jerantut for a 45 minute bus ride to Kuala Tembeling.
This is where we meet the boat for the 3 hour ride down river deep into the national park and is quite an adventure.

This is where we started our river trip.
As you can see this is no pissy little river but a major artery flowing throw the Rain Forrest and in the wet season is a raging torrent flooding much of the Forrest.

Each boat takes 16 punters and you are sitting in the bottom of the boat.

Must be careful
The river becomes shallow towards the end of the dry season allowing trees and other debris to accumulate. The boat men ply this river twice a day and are mostly aware of the traps but a few boats have come to grief.

This fella is setting his fish nets.
This photo gives you a good idea of just how shallow the river becomes at this time of the year but come monsoon season its another story.
They had a rise in the river of 74 meters in one particularly bad year and you will see the figures in future photos.

This photo was taken from the other side of the river and gives you an idea of the amount of floating restaurants and shops.
