Description:
Endau
Rompin, straddling the Johor/Pahang border, is the second National
Park, after Taman Negara. It covers an area of approximately 80,000
hectares of rich and exotic flora and fauna, encompassing the watershed
of the rivers Endau and Rompin, from which it derives its name. In other
words, this place is huge. The
park is home to a vast range of species of birds, mammals, frogs,
insects and exotic varieties of orchids, herbs, medicinal plants and
trees. It seems that every time a scientific expedition returns from
Endau - Rompin, they discover a new species!
Regular
treks through the jungle will give adventurers sightings of leaf
monkeys, long-tail macaques, white-handed gibbons, elephants, deer,
tapirs and the occasional tiger and leopard. For adventure lovers and
river trekkers, there are exhilarating rapids and fairly substantial
waterfalls.
