Kuala Tembling is the starting point for the boat ride to reach Taman Negara.
Understand
Get in

Boat times
As of January 2013, there were 2 boats a day from Tembling to Taman. The morning boats leave around 9AM and the afternoon boats depart around 2PM (except on Friday, when there is boat at 2:30PM instead of 2PM). The cost was RM 50 per head.
The boat ride takes almost 2 hours and can be uncomfortable as the boats are narrow wooden boats, so it is advisable to try and sit in the front so that you can stretch your legs.
