Tips for Visiting Endau-Rompin National Park #
- Plan your trip during the drier months (outside the main monsoon period) and expect multi-day treks to reach interior parts of the park-many of the highlights require overnight camping or lodge stays.
- Arrange an entry permit and a licensed local guide through the Johor park office or an accredited operator-river crossings, jungle trails and navigation are significantly easier and safer with a guide.
- Start treks early in the day to reach waterfall pools and clearings before afternoon rain and to make the most of daylight for wildlife watching and photography.
