TRAVEL<br />
CAVE EXPLORATION<br />
The limestone caves in the park<br />
are something not to be missed<br />
for a half-day activity. It is a two<br />
hours trek to reach Gua Kepayang<br />
Besar from the park headquarter<br />
and many would spend a night<br />
camping at the cave. The big<br />
cave chamber could fit up to a<br />
hundred campers at a time.<br />
BIRD WATCHING<br />
Malaysia is a hotspot for bird<br />
watching especially in Taman<br />
Negara to catch sights of rare<br />
bird species like the hornbill,<br />
great argus, yellow-eared<br />
barbet and red-naped trogon.<br />
To date, there are 380 bird<br />
species in the national park.<br />

VISITING INDIGENOUS VILLAGE<br />
To learn more about the ethnic tribes<br />
in Malaysia, the indigenous people’s<br />
village is open for experiential learning<br />
