One
such settlement is Kampong Young where visitors can get better insight
of Malaysia's friendly aboriginal people, the "Batek", who are a shy yet
gentle race. Although fully aware of the country's fast paced developments,
they continue to hunt and survive in the wilds.
Bird
watchers, prepare to feast your eyes! With over 350 species of birds,
which include Kingfishers, Pheasarits, Drongos, Malkohas, Blue-throated
bee-eaters, Broadbills, and the exotic Malayan Pied Hornbill, the park
is naturally a bird watcher's haven. Commonly seen are hornbills. Fireback
pheasants may be spotted along jungle trails while fishing eagles and
kingfishers usually feed along the riverbanks. Sungai Tahan remains a
favorite habitat of the masked finfoot. The keen bird watcher will surely
not leave the park without spotting a few of these reputed species.
Cave
exploring, also known as " spelunking", is definitely worth a try when
you visit the park. Encounter spectacular rock formations and a great
variety of life within the mystifying interiors of the numerous caves
hare. Among the more popular caves are Gua Kepayang, Gua Daun Menari (Dancing
Leaf Cave), and Gua Telinga (Ear Cave). Gua Telinga, being the most famous
of them is carved through a limestone outcrop by a stream, which runs
through the cave. Ancient drawings on the wall of the cave speak of a
mysterious past. You will also find giant toads and bat-eating snakes
who have lived in Malaysia's jungle since prehistoric times.
