Camping Experience ~ Jungle Adventure Tips

	Find out about the trail and surroundings, be sure that you have enough time to complete the entire route before darkness falls. Do not stray off the path to chase after animals.
	Use good judgment regarding the fitness level required for the trek, and know your physical limits.
	Always inform the park officials or let someone know of your plans and destination for the day, especially if going alone.
	Take plenty of water and pack a few easy to eat snacks to keep energy level up. Unless trekking with a local guide, it is not advisable to eat jungle fruit or drink from any water source.
	In the highlands try to trek on the ridge tops to save energy traversing the steep slopes and to catch a cool breeze.
	Be as quiet as possible to avoid scaring any wildlife. Getting an early start during the dawn provides the best chance to sight animals seeking food and the warmth of the early morning sun.
	Wear thin, loose, preferably cotton clothing to remain comfortable.
	Cover arms and legs with long trousers and long-sleeved shirts to ward off mosquitoes and to provide protection against thorny plants.
	Wear leech socks or longcsocks to prevent leeches from finding an entry way.
	Choose sturdy footwear with proper ankle support and good traction.
	Be prepared for sudden rain showers by carrying a poncho that wraps over both body and your carrying pack to keep everything dry.

A wide brimmed hat helps to shade a trekker from the heat of the tropical sun.

When camping on high altitude locations such as Gunung Jerai in Kedah; Gunung Korbu in Perak; Gunung Tapis and Gunung Tahan in Pahang, choose a site sheltered from the wind and avoid the higher peaks when thunderstorms occur. A selfcontained tent with aluminium poles and stakes is best for mountain camping.

Only a basic set up is needed when camping at the marine parks or beaches in the country, such as Pulau Payar in Kedah; Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan; Pulau Redang, Terengganu; Pulau Tioman and Cherating in Pahang and Tunku Abdul Rahman Park in Sabah. A hammock or sleeping bag may do very well.

Although most of the national parks and private tourist facilities furnish and rent out camping gear, it may be wiser to bring along basic camping necessities.

Remember to check on restrictions which may apply due to ecological or other reasons. If unsure, contact the park authorities
