Kuala Tembeling travel guide

Getting there

Kuala Tembling is a 20-minute drive from Jerantut. Most tour operators in Jerantut offer jeep rides to Kuala Tembling.

Boat times

As of January 2013, there were 2 boats a day from Tembling to Taman. The morning boats leave around 9AM and the afternoon boats depart around 2PM (except on Friday, when there is boat at 2:30PM instead of 2PM). The cost was RM 50 per head. The boat ride takes almost 2 hours and can be uncomfortable as the boats are narrow wooden boats, so it is advisable to try to sit in the front so that you can stretch your legs.

See

Whilst on the boat, try to take your mind off the tight situation by taking a look at the ocean around you.

Do

Most people decide not to admire the town, instead moving on to the national park.

Buy

There are souvenirs around from the national park.
