Long Trip: Birding in Taman Negara, Kuala Tahan


· 1 - 4 May (Fri–Mon)
· 4 days / 3 nights
· RM 250 per person* (MNS members only)

One of the world's oldest rainforest, Taman Negara is home to some 350 species of birds including Hornbills, Trogons, Pittas, Barbets, the Crested Fireback and the Great Argus.

The trip will entail daily trekking through jungle trails that may sometimes be strenuous but at a manageable birder's pace. This trip is not suitable for digiscoping. There will be a boat ride to get to Yong and Blau hides.

Hurry! Confirmed placement will be on a first-come-first-served basis, with payment in full to Alan (016-3322 991). Please indicate whether you need transportation or if you have spare seats to offer (drivers will be compensated). There will be a pre-trip briefing on 23 April at MNS HQ Auditorium.

* Inclusive of dorm lodging, transport, 3 dinners, entry permit and a boat ride. Limited units of chalets are available at an extra RM 45 per person (double occupancy + breakfast).
