In the jungles of Endau Rompin
Bite-sized trip
Day 1 – Arrival and jungle trekking
Time for a remote rainforest adventure as you head to the little-known jungle of Endau Rompin National Park. Your base for the next two nights is a comfortable, brick-built lodge set amidst the forest. Bathroom facilities (toilets and showers) are shared and the bedrooms are air-conditioned.
There will be time to settle in before setting out on a guided trek mid-afternoon to Seri Mahkota Waterfall – one of the most impressive waterfalls in the park. As you hike through the forest your guide will explain about the park’s rich biodiversity. There will be the opportunity to swim in the natural pool beneath the waterfall before returning to your accommodation along a different route. After dinner in the restaurant join the night walk, exploring the trails around the lodge and spotting the nocturnal wildlife.
Days 2-3 – Jungle trekking and departure
After breakfast, head out into the jungle on another guided trek. You’ll follow the Jeram Panjang Trail: an easy to intermediate 3.6 km trail that is well known by the locals to be the path trod by a herd of elephants as a part of their long journey cycle in search of food. Along the trail the guide will share his knowledge about the flora and fauna found within the rainforest. Keep your eyes peeled for Cream-Coloured Giant Squirrels, one of the largest squirrels in South-East Asia. At the end of the trail you’ll cross a rapid to the clear freshwater stream of Sungai Kernam. There is time for a refreshing swim before heading back to base camp for lunch. Your afternoon is free to relax. Additional activities are available for a supplement.
On your final day you’ll depart after breakfast.

Camping in the jungle
For a true back to nature experience we can switch the lodge accommodation for camping in this bite-sized trip. No need to set up your tent on arrival at the campsite as it’s a permanent site with basic toilets and cold water showers, and each tent has a mattress inside. The campsite is close to an Orang Asli village and, when you’re not trekking through the jungle, you’ll have the opportunity to meet the tribe. If you’re feeling adventurous and love camping select this option below.
