This is the entrance to the park and we had to cross the river to enter.
You can stay within the park but we decided to stay on the outside as the accommodation was much cheaper.

Entering the park and you must buy a permit to gain access
The jungle here is claimed to be the oldest in the world, having existed largely as it is for the past 130 million years. We traveled 60 klm's in the boat and approx 40,000 people manage to get here each year.

Bloody hell it's changed a lot.

When I stayed there 5 years ago there were a few concrete communual huts and that was about it. Spent two weeks there.

Hung out with a slightly mad Malay guy spent our days trekking or fishing. Spent a few nights with som Batek tribal sorts a few Km's ups tream away from the tourists.

Got dengue there as well.

The great flood of 1971.
I am standing at the 74 meter mark at which the river peaked. Its quite unbelievable that it reached this height and I imagine that at some time in the future it will happen again. A very good reason to stay well away in the monsoon season.

The restaurant.
Soon as you climb the stairs you will see this restaurant and you can see that within the park things are very well organized for the paying punter. If you are prepared to shell out the coin you could have a very comfortable time here and considering the weakness of the Malaysian Ringit its very affordable.

Your options.
Depending on your levels of fitness and enthusiasm you can make your choice of what you would like to do. You can just do day walks or walks that last 8 days to the highest peak staying at night with the local aborigines but you must like mosquitoes, leeches and wild animals. Ourselves chose to do the canopy walk which was a round trip of about 4 hours.

The canopy walk.
The canopy walk is a suspended walkway located in between an ancient stand of trees. The walkway is suspended at 45 meters on trees that are 90 meters high and 400 years old. The following pictures document our walk there and back and it was approx 1 hour each way.

Soggy grounds.
The first part of the walk is on raised platforms as the ground is impassable and the rains have not even started yet.

Move of the board walk and this is what you get plus leeches everywhere.
