This great rain forest covers 4,343 sq km, sprawls across the states of Pahang, Kelantan, and Trengganu. While the forests of the northern hemisphere were affected by the advance and retreat of icecaps until the end of the last Ice Age some 10,000 years ago, the landscape of the Peninsular Malaysia's rain forests have been geologically stable, without major uplift, or folding, or subsidence and new deposition.

The greatest reward of a visit to Taman Negara is simply the chance to get out into one of the most pristine primary rain forests in the world!
