Lubuk Simpon in Kuala Lipis

Pretty place with peaceful and clean water

Lovely little place to go swimming, its not far to walk from the national park jetty, but also you can hire a boat to bring you here and pick you up later.Please be advised that novice drone flyers should be cautious about flying in this area.In other news, if anyone finds my brand new DJI which I crashed into a tree - and couldnt get to it - at the northern end of this area please let me know.

Prachtige plek

Lubuk Simpon -Situated at Sungai Tahan in Taman Negara National Park Kuala Tahan, Pahang Darul Makmur, Malaysia.Its easy to access from park entrance/Taman Negara Headquarters.1. Boardwalk Trail - a short walk/hike, distance less than 1 km and duration of 15 - 20 minutes (one way).It a loop that also leads up the hill to the viewpoint at Bukit Terisek (334 M asl).2. Also can be reached by boat from the pier with the duration of 5 - 10 minutes.Lubuk Simpon is the closest from the Taman Negara park entrance. Surrounded by greens tropical rainforest with amazing ambience, serene atmosphere and different climate conditions. Boats travelling upstream to Lata Berkoh will pass through this area.The water is clean and clear, cool and fresh. The upstream of Sungai Tahan is the deepest part, normally after the heavy rains the colour of water is turning brownish and the river situation changes from time to time...Please note that the darker of the spot surface the deeper (more than 3 m). Beware of the strong current water, it may drawn you into the river flow. Youre advised to take a dip or swim at the shallow area along the river banks and respect the local culture.Worth a look, mesmerising with good sightseeing...🙄 🤗

After a whole day of tracking... this place is a must for a cooling dip to rejuvenate the tired body.

Nice and quiet spot for river bathing. We chose this spot to end our hike to Bukit Teresek and back as it’s less than a kilometer back to the Park Centre.

Almost 1km walk from the park entrance. The walkway is elevated and properly lined with sturdy fibre glass boards but some frames are broken due to fallen trees or big animals.The place is quite secluded. Not many visitors.You will see a few boats going upstream to Lata Berkoh passing by.The water is not clear but very calm. People can go for a dip

Beautiful river beach accessible by a short trail north from Mutiara resort. Get a paper map or use a mapping app like Osmand with trail data.Go there early in the morning so you have the place all to yourself, without having boats zooming by every few minutes. Also accessible using the trail down from Teresek Hill but that trail isnt well maintained, has some steep sections without stairs, can get muddy and has plenty of leeches.

Good place for river bathing. But must watch out for incoming boat. Lots of small fishes swimming together. About 800metres (about 15mins)walking distance from Mutiara Taman Negara Resort.

Amazing spot

Kalau sudah trekking inilah tempat sesuai untuk menyejukkan badan

Отличное, тихое место посреди прекрасного Леса. Но единственное нехорошо - очень много шумных лодок которые возят туристов.........

Tempat mandi DiTaman Negara..Sejuk Airnya..

Fantastic swimming spot for a refreshing dip while walking in the jungle. You do not need to take a boat here despite what other reviews say, it’s a fairly easy 15min stroll north of the Park headquarters. Be aware that there is the rare possibility of puffer fish bites, not life-threatening but very painful!

Nice place

Playa en Taman Negara en la que te puedes bañar. Ojo! Cuidado con las sanguijuelas

Lots of birds to discover!!!

A good place to go and look for kingfishers.

Oh, snake

The true & wild nature

A great place to enjoy the river Tahan. This is also a nice spot for birding. You may see various birds including hornbills crossing tge river and in the riverine vegetation. Also good for butterfly and dragonfly watching. A boardwalk is available to reach the place from the Taman Negara park center.

Good place for swimming. But bad ground and heavy current

Swim

Kind of OK.. not the kind of place i had expected but u get to forget the city and feel the wilderness

Nice relaxing place next to the river for a picnic and a dip in the water.

Oh! Amazing scenic beauty. But one need to book a boat to be there. Around 200RM per boat for 4 person required. One have to book the boat from the entrance of National Park. But worth of money.

Cool place to check in Taman Negara. It only 20min walk from the resort. There are many fishes in the clear river but dont go after rain.

Great place to chill out and swimming

Nice area to swim after a day of hiking! About a 20 min easy hike from the office where you get your park permits.

A nice beach in the jungle, the perfect place to cool off after a long hike. 4 of 5 stars because I got a nasty fishbite.

100% worth it. Especially after the 1085 steps to the top of the bukit teresik hill

2018年12月に訪問。泳ぐことも可能な川。色が茶色なので、泳ぐのには勇気がいる。

Nice place for chill

Really great place to take a dip in the water. An easy trek from the park headquarters. The whole area was very clean and there were even fish that like to clean you in the water.

Such a peaceful place..

The best place in taman negara that you can go to without a guide or boat. Accessible by a short trek from the campsite (board walk all the way). Its a wide river with sizeable sand beach. The water is naturally brownish, sand bed is coarse. Few boats will pass by occasionally and add character to the scenic ambience.You can choose to continue up to terasik hill from this course, or went up terasik from the other side (resort sideand come down this way and have a dip. Its a loop.

Best...

Its a family picnic spot in taman negara

Best banyak ikan

beautiful getaway, sadly no trashcan available and some boats always drive trough...

Very calm place good for relax

Beautiful place !
