ROYAL BELUM
STATE PARK

Dating back over 130 million years, the Royal Belum State Park is one of the oldest rainforests in the world. Predating the Amazon and the Congo, this ancient untouched rainforest spreads across the northern Malaysian penninsula and represents one of the most important ecosystems on the planet.

Designated and protected as a State Park in 2003, Royal Belum consists of 1,283 square kilometres of pristine rainforest, river systems, grassland and the famous man-made lake, Tasik Temengor.

WILDLIFE

Royal Belum harbours a unique and incredibly important biodiversity, representing one of the richest ecosystems left on earth.

The park is home to an incredible array of flora and fauna. There are over 300 avian species, including all 10 species of hornbills that inhabit Malaysia. Amongst the thousands of plant species, including over 3500 seed plants which are not seen in any other national or state park, you may even come across the Rafflesia arnoldii, the largest flower in the world.

Along with a multitude of frogs, beetles, snakes and butterflies, there are over 140 species of mammals, such as wild boar, deer, and seladang. This includes 14 of the world’s most endangered species, including the Indian elephant, the Malayan tiger, the white handed gibbon, Malaysian sun bear and the wonderful tapir.

The Sungai Tiang fly fishing project is one of the many important initiatives designed to help support and conserve this incredible natural habitat.
