TREKKING AND SWIMMING IN TAMAN NEGARA: LUBUK SIMPON.
LUBUK SIMPON provides swimming opportunity to those crazy with water. This is one of the best swimming area apart from Lata Berkoh in the National Park.
The water can be a little muddy on rainy days, but once it cleared, it is a very refreshing atmosphere. But, be careful, the current can be very strong on certain areas.
Just follow the rules of jungles and you will be safe. The simple rules are respect to the forest, no screaming and no cursing and others. Touch the water with respect and hopefully all be safe.
Lubuk Simpon can be reached after about 20 to 30 minutes easy walk from the Wildlife Information Centre. It is located along the Tahan River. The 50km long Tahan river originates from the Tahan Mountain and reaches Kuala Tahan, just after passing through Lubuk Simpon.
You can pack your food and have a picnic at Lubuk Simpon. It is worth it. While eating your lunch, you may have the opportunity to see kingfishers, bulbul birds, monitor lizards and monkeys roaming the forest canopy.
Or just simply wave your hand to those on boatride to Lata Berkoh. Enjoy your swim!
