Top 5 Activities at Belum Rainforest Resort

Visit the Aboriginal Village (Kampung Orang Asli)
Orang Asli Village, Kampung Chuweh looks simply divine

This is how the small aboriginal village looks like
Chuweh is an orang asli village that was fairly new. It was better for them as a whole to relocate to a cleaner place with better living conditions. I feel that the condition was really good and the scenery was just like heaven! I definitely wouldn’t mind staying here.
Livestock roam freely here
You can see how they’re living their lives. They’re treating their livestock like pets while living a peaceful life.
You can get some snacks for the children from a mini market which the guide will bring you to

The view of our ride on the lake
Trekking at Tali Kail Island (Pulau Tali Kail)
Our starting point to Pulau Tali Kail lookout tower
For those who are adventurous and love trekking activity, you can hike up Lower Belum forest reserve to Pulau Tali Kail lookout tower.
Into the jungle we went!
The one-hour journey certainly wasn’t easy due to the steep hill but the guides were very helpful and waited for us. There were 2 guides; one at the front and one at the back so nobody gets left behind. When we were nearly reaching the lookout tower, we had to use the string and pull ourselves up! All the sweat and tiredness were all worth it when we saw the breathtaking view of Temenggor Lake and Banding Lake from 10.8 meters above ground. We were totally mesmerized by the wonders of nature.

Belum Rainforest Resort offers a few packages that include discovering Lower Belum and search for Rafflesia spot. If you’re lucky, you’ll get to see fully bloomed Rafflesia! For information on excursion packages, visit https://www.belumrainforestresort.com/explore.
Night Trekking
A glimpse of the moon in the middle of the jungle
Come night, we explored the flora and faunas of the jungle armed with a torchlight on our hands. Since animals are more active at night, the experience will be different from day trekking.
Night trekking @ Belum Rainforest Resort

Discovered a giant millipede!
What makes night trekking adventurous is, there’s no certainty in what you’ll encounter during night trekking. We were advised to minimize noise in order not to scare off the animals.
Remember to admire the beautiful patterns of spider webs.
My photo definitely didn’t do justice to it.

Rattan trees a.k.a. rotan
Have you seen rattan in real life? I mean the plant, not the one you get whipped with hahaha! This is the first time I saw it. Apparently, rattan has thorny spines to climb over other plants and to protect themselves from becoming animal’s food. Remember to be careful!
A scene taken from Jungle Book?
Isn’t this view amazing? It looks like a scene from Jungle Book! In-house guest rate: RM 40 Non-guest rate: RM 45
Take a dip in the infinity pool
Belum Rainforest Resort Infinity Pool overlooking the breathtaking Temenggor Lake
No matter what time it is, the infinity pool offers a breathtaking view of Temenggor Lake. The calm lake gives you serenity from within.

Massage @ Puteri Dewi Spa

What’s better than to have a massage session at the spa after exploring Pulau Banding for whole day? Having your tiredness being knead out has got to be the best feeling ever!
Puteri Dewi Spa Reception Area
We were all in awe after knowing that this beautiful place is just the reception area. There’s lots of details on their furniture.
Foot massage area
No matter it’s foot massage or full body massage, your body will thank you for that pampering session.
Private rooms for body massage
Fun fact: They grow their own herbs so they can be freshly plucked and used during treatments. Interesting!
