Fatehah Inn

Overview

Fatehah Inn is a simple, budget-friendly place in Kuala Tahan, close to the jetty for the boats into the national park and to the village's main restaurants. Its well-kept garden and tropical planting give it a peaceful feel, and jungle activities and boat tours are easy to arrange from the doorstep.

Partner listings describe double rooms with a queen or double bed, each with a small balcony or patio, some looking onto the garden. Wi-Fi and parking are free, and the inn is non-smoking.

Location

The floating restaurants on the Tembeling River are a short walk away and are the place to eat in Kuala Tahan: simple Malay dishes, fried rice and fresh juices, with the rainforest across the water.

Over the river, the park's trails start at the headquarters. The canopy walkway is the best-known sight, though it can close for maintenance or bad weather, so check before you cross. Tahan Hide, a wooden observation hut overlooking a salt lick, is an easy walk and a good place to wait quietly for wildlife at dusk.

Boat trips also run up the river to Lata Berkoh's rapids and to a settlement of the Batek, one of the Orang Asli peoples who live in and around the park.
