Tropical rainforests cover only 6% of the planet’s surface but in terms of biodiversity, they contain more than 50% of the world’s terrestrial plant and animal species. On plants alone, tropical rainforests are thought to be the exclusive home for 170,000 of the world’s 250,000 known plant species.
The largest intact tropical rainforest in the world is in the Amazon River Basin and it dwarfs the Malaysian rainforests in size by far. However, age-wise, the Amazon jungle’s estimated age of 55 to 70 million years is way younger. Estimated at around 130 million years old, Malaysia’s rainforests is host to some of the most diverse tropical ecosystems in the world. During the Ice Age, Southeast Asia’s rainforests continued to experience moist temperatures due to its geographical location. This, in turn, allowed them to develop much earlier than the tropical rainforests of Africa and South America, the Amazon included.

I cannot make it here while i was purchased this ticket on the same-day, luckily pelago helpdesk was really responsive and helpful attending to my complaint, they hastily contact the venue vendor, and issued the next ticket on the same day (only took 2-3 hours for the next ticket to be issued), the activity was packed with nature, your path will be surrounded by tree, monkeys (if you can see them hiding on the tree), and i got a nice weather it is a bit cloudy combined with tree shades, so it is not hot at all during my visit, Currtis crest is a must-go!, and dont worry about mineral water because they have plenty of water dispenser station inside, if you love nature and adventurous trip this is a must!
It is not worth pre purchasing a ticket for this on a wet day as they close off the Curtis Walk, which then defeats the purpose of going. Better to check at the ticket office and buy there if it is open. Maybe Pelago can refund a portion of the ticket if the Curtis Walk is closed on the day?
Good. Better if the zip line was up and running .....
