Visit Belum for a splashing fun family time in the world's oldest rainforest


It’s not just anglers who are heading to the Belum rainforest, families are also finding it an engaging destination – for hiking, caving and waterfall swimming, among others.

I thought that only anglers would be drawn to Perak’s Belum rainforest, billed as the oldest rainforest in the world, since Temenggor Lake is home to prized catches like the giant toman, sebarau and kelah.

Then someone in my clan suggested we head to Belum for our together-time.
