Probably the biggest tourist trap in Malaysia. Avoid if possible.
The place is being treated as the cashcow it is: opening 9 o'clock? Nah, 9.30, maybe, if the staff is willing to come out of bed.
Then, you are advised to read the "rules", one of which is "keep quiet". In the meantime, staff is walking aroud with petrol-powered leaf lowers in the forest and along the whole length of the walkway. Birds, monkeys, even the snails are running away as fast as their feet can carry them.

Really beautiful on the walk we even saw some monkeys. That being said the wait is 2-3 hours on weekends because they can only have a few people on at a time.
