teresek hill |
| At 334 metres above sea level, Bukit Teresek is just 1.7
km from Park HQ, with much of the journey up a steep ridge. The popular
journey to the summit and back takes about two hours and offers rewarding
views of the Sungai Tembeling and Gunung Tahan in the far distance. The
trail is one of the most accessible from Kuala Tahan. It offers a good
introduction to the highlights of the rainforest as well as the more
distant views. The initial part of the trail is the same as Canopy Walk Trail, running adjacent to the flat riverbank for about 400 meters. It then climbs steeply up onto the ridge of Bukit Teresek where there are Two View Points, one at either end of the ridge. From the First View Point a small section of the Sungai Tembeling can be seen, and beyond are the forested hills on the other side of the river and outside the park boundary. The Second View Point, ten minutes further on, provides a spectacular view of the high mountains in the centre of Taman Negara and the Sungai Tahan Tahan below. If the weather is clear, Gunung Tahan, to the left at 2'187 metres is the highes peak visibles.
