The Royal Belum Park is really one of Perak's most beautiful treasures. As Malaysians, there is no excuse to miss a visit to this amazing paradise. There are three main ways to visit the Royal Belum Park. All three ways are packaged with guided tours.
Find out about the activities in Royal Belum here.

| The amazing paradise, Royal Belum |
1. Boat House
Engaging a boat house is my most preferred way of staying in Royal Belum. It places you in the heart of what you came for- nature. For approximately RM2500, a boat house can be rented for 20 people, inclusive of meals and activities. The boat house is sufficient to house your family and in-laws from both sides! It is also a wonderful choice for students and adventure groups. Living above water refreshingly whisked me away from my life on the ground.

2. Chalet
If you are literally a more down-to-earth person, check in to one of the chalets in Royal Belum. There are several camp sites that you can choose from namely Jenut Papan Camp, Sungai Kenarong Camp, Sungai Kejar Camp and Sungai Tiang Camp. My stay at the Sungai Tiang Camp only costed RM90 per night. Extremely rustic experience sans pollution and laptop. Facing the lake and misty mountains, this place is simply divine.

3. Belum Rainforest Resort
If you are feeling a little rich, combine luxury with nature at the Belum Rainforest Resort. For RM600-800 per night per room (depending on season and type of room), this resort pampers you from A to Z. Nature themed and devoid of television, this resort strips even the slightest stress away from you, unless you deliberately use the wifi to check your emails. Hot rain showers, thick towels, toiletries and an infinity pool facing the Temenggor lake makes life here stupendous.
