Tasik Bera  (Lake Bera), the largest freshwater swamp in Peninsula Malaysia is situated in the south of Pahang state. It is a unique mosaic of different habitats like swamp forest, pandanus, reed beds and open water all surrounded by forest. The area is rich in biodiversity, including many different kinds of birds, endangered species such as crocodiles, tigers, elephants,Naturally wild and free endemic water plants and almost one hundred different fish species.

Tasik Bera has, therefore, become Malaysia's first RAMSAR site, a status which demonstrates that it is a wetland of international importance.

A day trip is definitely not the way to go at Tasik Bera. Your best option is either to rough it out at campsites or take out a convenient package at one of the resorts within the wetlands.
