where visitors can relax. Here too is located gunung tahan, a
mountainous jungle trail which takes about 2 nights to reach its
peak. For birdwatchers, the bukit taching is an ideal bird
sanctuary to while away the hours. And terenggun forest park is
another nature spot perfect for a leisurely holiday. Perhaps its
most endearing feature is its profusion of fabulous nature scenes.
It has four permanent forest reserves. Another point of honour is
that these are amongst the oldest jungles in the world. And nine
other areas have been designated for possible reserves.
