Kenong Rimba has no show caves,
but there are various caves which are visited by people trekking in the
park. Kenong Rimba park borders its larger sister, Taman Negara. There
is jungle, clear streams, cascading waterfalls and caves. Trekking
groups go to explore the caves, swim in the rivers and camp.
Within the Kenong Rimba Park, there are several caves to explore. These
include Gua Tinggi, Gua Tangga and Gua Kesong, also Gua Batu Telangkup,
Gua Hijau and Gua Harimau. The park is being developed. There are now
boat trips into one cave.
Facilities - Chalets, rooms and dormitories, also campsites at Kesong Campsite. Forest trails.
Location and access - Kenong is located in Lipis, near the town of
Kuala Lipis, about 170 km from Kuala Lumpur. The park has only one entry
point. From Kuala Lipis, the journey to the park can be made by river,
which entails a 2 hour boat trip down the Jelai river, and then a short
distance up the smaller Sg.Kenong to Tanjung Kiara. Alternatively one
can catch a train to Batu Sembilan, then take a boat from the jetty
across the Jelai and up to Tanjung Kiara. This is the access point to
the reserve, although the park boundary is actually still 10 minutes
walk away. There is now also a 4WD track. Unlike Taman Negara, visitors
to Kenong Rimba can only enter with a guide. You can arrange a tour and
guide from the hotels and guesthouses in Kuala Lipis. An average cost
may be RM250 per person for 2 nights/ 3 days, inclusive of guides and
meals.
