For those looking for Taman Negara Tour Packages, quite a few companies are selling them from Kuala Lumpur. As this national park is one of the must-visit places in Malaysia, this 130 million-year-old rain forest is easily accessible from Kuala Lumpur, or KL, as it is locally called.

If you did not know, the journey takes around three and a half hours from KL City and can also be done on a day trip. But if you come here, I recommend spending at least two nights.

Taman Negara Tour Packages

Most travellers or backpackers visiting Malaysia would surely want to look for Taman Negara tour packages. I am writing this article to help you understand what is available, the pros and cons, and the logistics of visiting Taman Negara.

The largest national park in Malaysia, Taman Negara, was established in 1938 and 1939 as the King George V National Park. It was later renamed Taman Negara National Park after Malaysia received independence from the British in 1957. Taman Negara is also shared between three states in Malaysia: Terengganu, Pahang, and Kelantan.

There are a few tour packages for Taman Negara National Park, which selected tour companies in Kuala Lumpur and other states in Malaysia offer. Kuala Lumpur is probably the best route to take there, too.

Please note that all tours require at least two persons or 2 to go. If you are a single traveller, you can either wait to see if others are going, or you can join in.

If no one else is going, you must pay the two-person price. Alternatively, some Taman Negara packages have single-traveller rates, so please ask about this. The Taman Negara tour packages are;
