Endau-Rompin National Park, National park in Johor and Pahang, Malaysia.
Endau-Rompin is a national park stretching across Johor and Pahang through mountains, rivers, and waterfalls set in tropical rainforest. The area covers dense forest landscape with varied terrain and numerous streams flowing through its valleys.
The first scientific exploration of the forest took place in 1892, followed by its designation as a protected area in 1933. This early interest reflected growing recognition of the region's ecological importance.
The Jakun people, the largest indigenous group of Peninsular Malaysia, continue their traditional ways of living within these forests. Their presence shapes daily life in the park and shows how communities have thrived here for generations.
The park is accessible only by four-wheel drive vehicles due to challenging access roads and variable conditions. The three entry points are spread out, so plan ahead to choose the most suitable entrance for your route.
The park shelters several rare large mammals including Malayan tigers, Asian elephants, leopards, and tapirs sharing the same forest. These animal species live together in ways that offer special viewing opportunities for patient visitors.
