Cascading waterfalls, clear
mountain streams amidst flora and fauna of diverse
species await once you set foot in Kenong Rimba Park, a
128 square kilometre forest park situated in the valleys
of the Kenong River.
The park is
where
several popular explorable limestone caves, among which
are Batu Tangkup, Batu Tangga, Batu Hijau and
Batu Harimau, that provide natural habitat for
bats and other nocturnal creatures. Although tigers are
rarely sighted at the caves, their tracks
are often spotted here. You will marvel at the
range of flora and fauna found in the caves, located
approximately between 122-152 metres above sea level.
A major attraction of the
Kenong Rimba Park, is the seven-tier waterfall with its crashing rapids that flow through
rugged rocky terrain. As in any other forest park in
Malaysia, Kenong Rimba Park is home to a variety of
wildlife including elephant, panther, sun bear, tapir,
flying fox, sambar deer and mouse-deer. There are also
several species of primates such as monkeys and gibbons. Kenong Rimba Park is a sanctuary to wild birds,
which include many migratory species from as far away as
North Asia and endemic species, such as the
yellow-vented bulbul, white-rump sharma, brown shrike,
chestnut-winged babbler and racquet-tailed drongo.
The spectacular forest at
Kenong Rimba Park provides a perfect hideaway for nature
enthusiasts. Besides cave exploration, swimming and
dipping in the cool pools of the 7-tier waterfall, you
could indulge in spotting rare-orchids, fishing and
endless days of jungle trekking. Along the way you can
get to know the lifestyle of the friendly
aborigines of the batik tribe.
