Jungle Treking Tips

Generally most jungle treks in Cameron Highlands are pretty safe. Although most are not clearly marked, the trails are wide and clear enough for you to get through easily. During the rainy season, the trails can get very muddy and slippery.

Here are a few basic tips to follow before you head into the rainforest.

• Take plenty of water and pack a few easy to eat snacks to keep energy level up.
• Do not eat fruits you find in the jungle or drink water from the streams unless you are with a guide who says its ok.
• The weather can be unpredictable so be prepared for sudden rain showers. You can buy the disposable raincoats.
• Wear suitable and comfortable clothing. A good pair of shoes is mandatory as the treks can get muddy and slippery. Shorts are ok but long pants are recommended to provide protection from thorny plants.
• Lastly, use good judgment and common sense.

p/s: do adequate warm up training b4 the real event on 7-9/9
