Tasik Temenggor Discovery Island
,
Gerik,
Malaysia
A private island 1000ft above sea level
Team Building Packages
The
only
place in Malaysia where you get to stay in a Lake Resort, Island
Resort, Hill Resort and an Eco-Resort all at the same time
The
Belum-Temenggor forest, one of the oldest in the world (older than the
Amazon).
Located
in Gerik and covering 15,200 hectares, Tasik Temenggor is the
largest man-made lake in Perak. The panoramic beauty of the lake is
complemented bythe diverse flora and fauna. This enchanting
atmosphere is further enhanced bythe unique lifestyle of the ‘orang
asli' who make their homes in the jungles surrounding the lake.
The lake has a rich source of freshwater fish like Kelah,
Tenggalan and Baung, which although found here are extinct in
other places. This only serves to make Tasik Temenggor a more
attractive and important fishing area in Perak.

Two species of Rafflesia, R.hasseltii and R.cantleyi,
and intermediate species can be found here. These flowers
takes 9 months to grow from a bud to it's full bloom, and
it only lasts 3 days before it withers. Inform us a
couple of weeks in advance and we'll send our scouts out
to find one that is nearest to blooming.
Every September to November, thousands of Hornbills
will come to this place. All ten hornbill species of
Malaysia can be found here, including the globally
threatened Plain-pouched Hornbill, present in large flocks
of thousands of birds, a phenomenon not known to occur
anywhere else in the world. Bring your binoculars and
feast your eyes.
