Straddling the Pahang-Johor
border, the Endau Rompin National Park, the newest
nature reserve in the country, covers 870 square kilometers.
Because of the fact that it is a new nature reserve, eco-tourism facilities are little developed here and Endau Rompin has been primarily a study tour for
biologists and scientists and it is definitely for those
who seeks to explore the unexplored and has since become
a popular tourist attraction due to its beauty and charm.
There are some unique
attractions in this little-explored park which is the
home of the nearby extinct Sumatran rhinoceros, some
rare tigers, elephants and tapirs. The lowland
rainforest is among the last remaining on the peninsula
and contains some unique flora and fauna.
The park can be reached via
Kuala Rompin and Tanjung Gemuk. A special permit is
required to visit the park and it can be obtained from The State
Security Council at the Bangunan Sultan Ibrahim
Building, Bukit Timbalan in Johor Bahru. Tourists should
not miss this once in a lifetime opportunity to explore
this unique nature reserve.
