Bukit Teresek
A small hill of about 344 metres near the headquarters, with two lookouts overlooking endless rainforest and distant Mount Tahan, shrouded in morning mist.
Starting from the park headquarters, the trail passes the fork for the canopy walkway and then climbs along wooden steps and tree roots. The one-way hike takes about 1–1.5 hours. The slope is steep, but the trail markings are clear. There are two lookouts at the top: one looks down over the Tahan River valley, and the other looks out to Mount Tahan (2,187 metres), the highest peak on the Malay Peninsula. It is recommended to set off before sunrise to see the sea of clouds, carrying a headlamp, plenty of water and leech-proof socks. On the way down, you can join a trail to the river at Lubok Simpon for a swim. Entry is free, but a national park entry permit is required.
