Also known as the Teluk Bahang Recreational Park, Taman Rimba is a vast, 32ha forest park that serves as a good introduction to the Malaysian rainforest.







The park is well-equipped with picnic and camping areas, a playground, a forestry museum and a substantial network of hiking trails. Explore the trails and take in the wide variety of flora and fauna in their natural habitat. The icing on the cake is surely the waterfall where one can take a dip to cool off while enjoying the surrounding greenery.
