Taman Negara Pahang

It has been a while since the last trip to Taman Negara Pahang. After the Chinese New Year it had not rain for two continuous week and there were rumours of good catches around the area recently......So this time we decided to go to Keniyam River to try our luck......
Kuala Tahan is where we started our journey. Because of no rain at all, the water level dropped tremendously........ Sungai Tembeling is the main river system of Taman Negara Pahang and it is only at this dry season, the water is at its clearest....... From Kuala Tahan to Sungai Keniyam, it takes a 3-hour boat ride through many rapids.........
A short rest at Kampong Pagi along the Tembeling River........ Enter to the Keniyam River......... It was a challenge to go up stream because of many of obstacles ahead.......
Some shallow places we had to heave the boat across........
Long before reaching the camp site, everyone was already dead tired....
The beauty of Keniyam River......
