Lubuk Simpon — Attraction in Pahang

Lubuk Simpon - Situated at Sungai Tahan in Taman Negara National Park Kuala Tahan, Pahang Darul Makmur, Malaysia. It's easy to access from park entrance/Taman Negara Headquarters. Boardwalk Trail - a short walk/hike, distance less than 1 km and duration of 15 - 20 minutes (one way). It a loop that also leads up the hill to the viewpoint at Bukit Terisek (334 M asl). Also can be reached by boat from the pier with the duration of 5 - 10 minutes. Lubuk Simpon is the closest from the Taman Negara park entrance.

You don't need any guide or boat to go there, it's at most an hour hike from the main area. This is a popular spot for river bathing and swimming. When I went, there were no people around, I was all by myself. I took a very refreshing bath in the river.

The area itself gives you the vibes of something similar in LOTR, where Smégol kills his brother to get the ring.

It's highly...
