Tengku Hassanal Wildlife Reserve — Attraction in Pahang

If you care about animals, you should not support anything that harms them, such as elephant riding, bathing, and feeding, where they are only trained to follow commands by pain. It is not normal for a wild elephant to “obey” a human. That is common sense hence when you see this you should be alarmed about their well-being. It is also by today common knowledge—and well documented on many wildlife conservation websites—how much this can harm and traumatise the animals! It is simply unethical.

It is shocking to see that this is still practiced and accepted today, in 2025, when we should all know better. I would never visit such an unethical place that causes even more harm to our environment and the animals that live in it. If you love animals and this planet, it is your duty to educate yourself, get involved, and advocate for their ethical protection!

Elephants are wild animals that belong in the wild, not with humans or under human command. They are highly intelligent, highly social creatures that are capable of immense suffering and pain. It is heartbreaking to see that this abuse and lack of empathy...

I’m super happy visited the elephants here. It’s just take 1h30m from KL. Once arrived, you can fill up the form of your attendance & get a ticket from the counter. The entrance fees is free but you are welcome to give how much amount that you want, it’s like a donation. Yes, you know that the expenses that they had to bare in weekly is high right? Because elephants eat a lot!! Hahaha You can find a few mini stalls selling fruits, pau, ice cream, hot dog & etc inside the place. Get yourself experience to feed the elephants. There’s staff selling the fruits (sugar cane RM3 & Banana RM5) If you have extra time, come and wait for the elephant show. It is fun & enjoyable!! Unfortunately, we didn’t have a chance to watch the elephants bathing due to the weather. (it means that we must repeat the visit again!!) There’s also few village people sell the handcraft & souvenirs (make sure to grab some!). Anyway, I’ve shared the itinerary program so easy to plan for...

Krau Wildlife Reserve is the largest wildlife reserve covering 60,349 ha located in the Titiwangsa Mountains, central state of Pahang, Malaysia that was established during the British Colonial Administration. It is managed by the Department of Wildlife and National Parks, located south of Lanchang township. In the 1960s, Lord Medway led a zoological expedition to Gunong Benom (2110 m asl) which latter had attracted many scholars, biologists and primatelogists to conduct research on the eastern part of the reserve called Kuala Krau. The lowland dipterocarp forest area contains very high diversity of birds and mammals especially primates and bats. At Kuala Gandah, is the Elephant Centre for the management of displaced animals. At Jenderak is the breeding centre for seladang (Bos gaurus). Among the birdlife, the rare Malayan peacock-pheasant is still found in the reserve in...
