[2025 Segamat Attraction] Travel Guide for Endau-Rompin National Park (Updated Jul)

An outdoor hiking or mountain biking enthusiasts? Head up a short drive from the woodlands causeway into johor bahru towards kluang where there is a huge national park called Taman Negara Endau Rompin where this is a tropical rainforest with many hiking trails and rock formations. Well, for us we took our mountain bikes and rode around taman negara and also to Takah Pengkoi where you will be greeted with a very strong gushing waterfall with a slide next to it for kids. But do take note, coming to this park a 40RM is required for an entrance fee but kids are free and I think this is the only national park that requires entree in malaysia. But hey, this park is one of the cleanest campsite in malaysia and its worth it to drop by and make this a bucket list since its so near Singapore anyways! #bucketlistreboot #nationalpark #naturalwonders #malaysia #kluang #rompin #hiking #outdoor #outdooradventure
