Jerantut District

A district in central Pahang and the main gateway to Taman Negara, where you can venture deep into ancient tropical rainforest.

Jerantut District lies in north-central Pahang and is one of the state's larger districts. Taman Negara, within the district, protects a tropical rainforest believed to be extremely old. The main entrance is at Kuala Tahan, where visitors can try canopy walkways, jungle trekking, longboat river trips, night wildlife spotting and visits to indigenous villages. The district town, Jerantut, is the transport hub for the park and has a railway station. In the dry season (about March to September) trail and river conditions are better, while in the wet season some activities may be restricted. You can get there from Kuala Lumpur by bus or car.
