Taman Negara Endau-Rompin

Johor, Pahang, Malaysia

---

Taman Negara Endau-Rompin, straddling Johor and Pahang states in southern Peninsular Malaysia, ranks as the second-largest national park in the country at about 870 square kilometers of ancient rainforest over 130 million years old, nestled in the Tenasserim Hills foothills with peaks like Gunung Besar at 1,136 meters.

This biodiversity hotspot shelters rare species including Malayan tigers, Asian elephants, Sumatran rhinos, tapirs, and endemic flora like fan palms, alongside attractions such as Buaya Sangkut waterfall, Upeh Guling rock formations, Tasik Air Biru blue lake, and river systems ideal for trekking, camping, and wildlife spotting via guided jungle trails. 

Accessible via Peta or Selai entrances with permits required, it offers multi-day adventures amid pristine rivers and caves, closed during November-March monsoons to protect its fragile ecosystems and Orang Asli cultural heritage.
