From Kuala Lipis you can go to Kenong Rimba Park, which is about 10 km away. It is a forest reserve, accessible by train or boat. It is a good place for trekking and caving.

From Kuala Lipis take a train or car to Kampong Batu Sembilan. From here you take a boat for 30 minutes journey to Tanjung Kiara Jetty. From here you either can walk (trekking) for about one and half hour to base camp or take a 4 wheel drive for only 20 minutes.

Tucked away in a corner of rainforest reserves and plantations, is the cosy little town of Kuala Lipis. It's the sort of town that brings memories flooding back of days of frontier towns where immigrants and locals alike came from faraway lands to make a new and better life.  The town today has undergone some modification but the essence of its importance as the old capital and administrative centre of Pahang still lingers on in its structural and colonial architectures.

Thousands of years later, Kuala Lipis was again chosen as a site for human settlement. Geographically, the area may not be as isolated as it seems. In fact, it is more accessible and organised then many other frontier towns due to its strategic location at the confluence of the Lipis (Sungai Lipis) and Jelai (Sungai Jelai) Rivers. These are only a few of many rivers emptying into the great Pahang River.
