Rompin State Park is a vast expanse of pristine lowland forest that adjoins a similarly large forest in neighbouring Johor. The combined park has two sections, with the Pahang Park Headquarters located at Sungai Kinchin Base Camp, 35 km from Kuala Rompin. This remote and rugged park of 870 km2 is mostly a wilderness, with the only infrastructure around park headquarters. Facilities here are good, with chalet
accommodation, an interpretation centre, campsite, suspension bridge and an observation tower. Visitors can experience the magic of the rainforest with its towering trees, wild rivers and the 50 m-drop of Seri Mahkota Waterfall.
The Rainforest Discovery Centre has an interactive interpretation display with detailed information on the park’s flora and fauna, including the giant fan palm, Livistona endauensis. Birds like hornbills, kingfishers and pheasants are just part of the 250 species recorded here. Well-prepared adventurers can head upstream to remote camping sites and mountain summits. Guided walks with a local Jakun Orang Asli are highly recommended, especially for jungle treks into the remote areas. Fishing is possible along the Kinchin and Kemapan Rivers.
