Introduction
In 1925, an area covering over 1,300 square kilometers in Pahang were gazetted as Gunung Tahan Game Reserve by the then British colony. 14 years later, the Sultan of Pahang, Terengganu and Kelantan set aside the present area for conservation and known as “King George V National Park”. After Malaysia gained independent in 1957, it was renamed as Taman Negara and has become Malaysia’s Premier National Park and the largest in the country. Taman Negara straddles the borders of Terengganu, Kelantan and Pahang in Peninsular Malaysia. A totally protected area of 4,343 sq km, Taman Negara is known as one of the world’s oldest tropical rainforests. The diversity of its fauna and flora is a result of undisturbed evolution over 130 million years. An unforgettable experience awaits you at this premier National Park.
