Entrance of the Taman Negara National Park of Malaysia<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

Explore the secrets of the impenetrable, umbrageous, and wettish woodlands of the Taman Negara National Park. It is, in fact, the very first and the oldest prescribed protected area in Malaysia. The park was initially christened \u2018King George V National Park\u2019. During King George’s Silver Jubilee in 1938, the Sultans of Kelantan, Pahang, and Terengganu designated Taman Negara as a reserved area. It became imperative to preserve the land’s pristine nature in sempiternity. In 1957, the park was renamed as Taman Negara. The verdant park boasts of some of the most complex and copious ecosystems in the world. Amidst the labyrinth of ancient trees, you might spot different species of snakes, including reticulated pythons, redheaded kraits, dog-toothed cat snakes, and temple pit vipers. Other animals that are seen prancing in the woodlands are monkeys, tigers, rhinos, elephants, lizards, etc. Extremely rare species of the flying squirrel reside stealthily in the park, so that the visitors don\u2019t see them easily. The lush green foliage veils them. Some of the exotic floral species in the park comprise the world\u2019s largest flower giant Rafflesia, orchids, dwarf luminescent fungi, and two-tone ferns. You need to have a mettle for perambulating in the forest as you may get surprises in the form of flying or crawling insects and the ever-pervading leeches.<\/p>\n
