Ginger Guest Room

Overview

Ginger Guest Room is a small place in Kuala Tahan with a single air-conditioned triple room for up to three people and free Wi-Fi. It's about 1.4 km from the village centre, so it's quieter than the guesthouses by the jetty, and with just one room you have the place largely to yourselves.

That makes it a good fit for a couple, a small family or three friends who want air-conditioning to sleep well after a sticky day on the trails, without paying resort prices.

Location

Kuala Tahan's jetty, floating restaurants and tour desks are about 1.4 km away; small boats cross from there to the park headquarters, the canopy walkway and the Bukit Teresek trail.

The walk into the village takes around 15 to 20 minutes, or locals can arrange a lift. Once there, the tour desks sell everything from half-day boat trips upriver to guided night walks and overnight stays in wildlife hides.

Most visitors arrive by road from Kuala Lumpur via Jerantut, a journey that usually takes four to five hours, or by the slower and more scenic boat up the river from Kuala Tembeling jetty.

Good to know

• It's a single room, so book early.
• Bring a torch if you plan to walk back from the village after dark.
• Carry enough cash for park permits and meals.
