I’m Bringing Ah-Tin to Malaysia’s Endau-Rompin National Park

Posted by Precious on 3/27/09 • Categorized as Johor

It’s been years since my poor mess tin have seen the light of day. I’m so sorry, Ah-Tin. I’ve been pre-occupied with other pleasures and allowed dust to gather upon your silver head.

I am so glad to be bringing you out again. *hugs* Without you, I cannot have toasty scrambled eggs with cheese while watching the sun dawn upon a great green canopy, or a cup of hot milo to nurse myself after a full day of jungle exploring.

On Saturday, I will be bring Ah-Tin to the Endau-Rompin National Park. I am excited about the park but other than that, I am excited to venture into Kluang as well.

You see, Kluang is along the way to the park and it’s famous for many things, chief among all is the sweet coffee served at the rustic Kluang Railway Station. Blogger turned politician Jeff Ooi have blogged of it before, with many good photos. Malaysia’s national daily, The Star, have mentioned it as well.

Once we get to the park, we’re throwing off our bags, our clothes and jumping straight into the lake with a big splash. Just kidding. Here’s what we really expect to do.

Saturday

  1. Register at the Park office in Kahang town – RM10.00 + RM2.00 for insurance
  2. Rent a 4WD to take us to the Park entrance at Peta. RM350 per vehicle or RM70 per person
  3. The 4WD journey is expected to take 1.5hrs
  4. Sit through a briefing about park rules and accommodation arrangement.
  5. We will be sleeping at a 3-room family chalet with 1 queen bed and 4 single beds – RM120 per chalet per night with electricity from 7pm – 7am.
  6. Lunch (BYO)
  7. Visit to the Nature Education & Research Centre (apparently, the NERC is so informative that other bloggers have spent a whole half-day here)
  8. Kayak to Kampung Peta (Peta Village) – RM10 per person or RM70 per person if there’s less than five of us
  9. Dinner (BYO)
  10. Self-entertainment at the chalet

Sunday

  1. Breakfast
  2. Meet our forest guide – it is compulsory to hire a guide, RM50 per day
  3. Take a boat ride to Kuala Jasin – RM25 per person or RM 140 per boat if there’s less than five of us

  5. Lunch

  7. Check-out

Endau-Rompin is famous for its crystal-clear waters and pristine rich rainforest. C’mon Ah-Tin, let’s get together again!
