From KLIA or KLIA2, a taxi or private van will also take about 4 to 5 hours drive to Taman Negara National Park. The price however, is much higher than getting the van shuttle from KL City. A tip is to take the KLIA Express into the city, then take the van transfer to Taman Negara. The price would be anywhere from RM550 to RM750 per van or taxi.

Eventually, we surfaced after about 50 minutes underwater with huge smiles on each of our faces.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ctable align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Ctbody\u003E\u003Ctr\u003E\u003Ctd style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-v4T1Lx-wKNc\/WQRzeBkQL4I\/AAAAAAAA4gY\/s5JQz6NK4J0UToByZ_qBKMAqy4eQpSoTQCLcB\/s1600\/komodo-dive-report.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003E\u003Cimg alt=\"Komodo Scuba Diving Report\" border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-v4T1Lx-wKNc\/WQRzeBkQL4I\/AAAAAAAA4gY\/s5JQz6NK4J0UToByZ_qBKMAqy4eQpSoTQCLcB\/s1600\/komodo-dive-report.jpg\" title=\"Komodo Dive Report\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/td\u003E\u003C\/tr\u003E\u003Ctr\u003E\u003Ctd class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003EDive master giving a briefing before going down at Pink Beach Dive Site\u003C\/td\u003E\u003C\/tr\u003E\u003C\/tbody\u003E\u003C\/table\u003E\u003Cb\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003EManta Point Dive Site, Komodo\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/b\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ENext spot was Manta Point, but this was quite debatable due to the off season of Mantas, and since we were already here, the dive master had said that if we were in some serious luck, there could still be a couple of manta rays around, so he left us with the choice, but being a first time for the four of us, why not. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EBack-rolled and again, a slow descend for me while the other divers were already on the lookout for those majestic manta rays. Well, not quite as they would be found at various cleaning stations, and these were on a flat terrain therefore, you could see far, providing the visibility was super clear. For our Manta Point dive, the visibility wasn't that great as it was just past noon and we were getting about 15 meters. Currents were decent and approaching the first cleaning station, it was empty.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EOur dive master signaled us to follow him to the next one and to our disappointment, no one was home either.

No one seems to know how it was erected or why it was. However, there are many folktales that the guides will share with you.

However, for Malaysia, it has been pretty slow in catching up in this area. Why I say this is that when I participated in neighboring countries FAM trips, social media campaigns and trips were created specifically for travel influencers to flood the social media channels with photos and information of the trips.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EIn Malaysia's case, nothing has changed since five years ago. The ministry has engaged an advertising agency, which has no proper knowledge on tourism trends but because it is all about protocol and many other red tape issues. \u0026nbsp;The agency just hires an in-house team to manage the tourism social media accounts. Let me just say that the people running these accounts have never been to many of the places they promote for Malaysia, so how does this justify when consumers or would-be visitors ask questions, especially if it is in depth?\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EFor example, if someone asked the Tourism Malaysia twitter account this interesting question - \"Where can I go in Sarawak to see some original or pure Sarawakian ethnic lifestyle?\" Do you think they could answer this immediately?

Therefore, this is just one of the examples. What is the point of just showing nice photos of Malaysia without any proper information? This goes to show why we lack in so many areas, that could be actually done in the proper way and generate more interest online for Malaysia.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ctable align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Ctbody\u003E\u003Ctr\u003E\u003Ctd style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-oFdOciTsNGA\/WMeOZ3lSJPI\/AAAAAAAA4Jo\/XutktIwNyGEcho2bbNt8_Q5PwlftfBAYACLcB\/s1600\/tourist-visiting-malaysia.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003E\u003Cimg alt=\"Tourist Visiting Malaysia\" border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-oFdOciTsNGA\/WMeOZ3lSJPI\/AAAAAAAA4Jo\/XutktIwNyGEcho2bbNt8_Q5PwlftfBAYACLcB\/s1600\/tourist-visiting-malaysia.jpg\" title=\"Tourist in Malaysia\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/td\u003E\u003C\/tr\u003E\u003Ctr\u003E\u003Ctd class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003ETourist in Malaysia\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/td\u003E\u003C\/tr\u003E\u003C\/tbody\u003E\u003C\/table\u003EPerhaps, with \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/blog.malaysia-asia.my\/2017\/01\/tourism-malaysia-closes-offices.html\" target=\"_blank\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #38761d;\"\u003ETourism Malaysia closing offices nationwide\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u0026nbsp;in January 2017, this could be the start of something new. I would also suggest that the ministry re-look the digital advertising agency's role in promoting Malaysia as they lack the experience in tourism social media. After all, when the travel community is very active online, we should be taking advantage of it, the right way, not the Malaysian way.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe directives and approach should be looked into in order to keep the numbers growing to attract more tourist arrivals to Malaysia, not just the Chinese tourist. Having said this, I am just a travel writer who was once aggressively promoting Malaysia from 2008 to 2014 online, and have been in communication with the tourism officials during that time, which I learnt much of why things are the way they are.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EOver the years, I have also observed and monitored numerous tourism campaigns, decisions and strategies that were supposed to put Malaysia back on the tourism map of the world, but Malaysia being Malaysia, we only seem to look at what's in trend. Meaning if the Chinese were travelling, we would drop everything and just focus on that particular market with an ambition to increase the tourist arrivals to Malaysia. Well, I can only hope for the best in this kind of strategy.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/div\u003E"},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/blog.malaysia-asia.my\/feeds\/7714606767013906701\/comments\/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/comment.g?blogID=9197563430820577837\u0026postID=7714606767013906701\u0026isPopup=true","title":"4 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/9197563430820577837\/posts\/default\/7714606767013906701"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/9197563430820577837\/posts\/default\/7714606767013906701"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/blog.malaysia-asia.my\/2017\/03\/tourist-arrivals-to-malaysia.html","title":"Tourist Arrivals To Malaysia "}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"David Jr"},"uri":{"$t":"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/117203203652634549205"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"32","height":"32","src":"\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/-oz5-8huLcgw\/AAAAAAAAAAI\/AAAAAAAAO1E\/h3G-X02AJWU\/s512-c\/photo.jpg"}}],"media$thumbnail":{"xmlns$media":"http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/","url":"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-8Ca9LmklRbA\/WMeNq-xfq4I\/AAAAAAAA4JY\/YYeQAM-EU0oclmiX9dnTGbel5q5GRY6OgCLcB\/s72-c\/tourist-arrivals-to-malaysia.jpg","height":"72","width":"72"},"thr$total":{"$t":"4"},"georss$featurename":{"$t":"Malaysia"},"georss$point":{"$t":"4.210484 101.97576600000002"},"georss$box":{"$t":"4.210484 101.97576600000002 4.210484 101.97576600000002"}},{"id":{"$t":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9197563430820577837.post-1969061936323520934"},"published":{"$t":"2017-03-11T21:41:00.001+08:00"},"updated":{"$t":"2017-03-11T21:41:30.482+08:00"},"category":[{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Featured"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Malaysia National Parks"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Pahang"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Taman Negara"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Taman Negara National Park"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Taman Negara Tour Packages"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Things to do in Taman Negara"}],"title":{"type":"text","$t":"Taman Negara Tour Packages"},"content":{"type":"html","$t":"\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-BPErFbumdFo\/WMPNhzAl9sI\/AAAAAAAA4H8\/FtuTYovB27c0gYbn98t5sTlcnlzaVa6tACLcB\/s1600\/taman-negara-tour-packages.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg alt=\"Tour Packages for Taman Negara\" border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-BPErFbumdFo\/WMPNhzAl9sI\/AAAAAAAA4H8\/FtuTYovB27c0gYbn98t5sTlcnlzaVa6tACLcB\/s1600\/taman-negara-tour-packages.jpg\" title=\"Taman Negara Tour Packages\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003EIf you are looking for \u003Cb\u003ETaman Negara Tour Packages\u003C\/b\u003E, there are quite a few companies selling them from Kuala Lumpur.

Unless you are rushing your trip, even six days is not enough to see Tokyo. So, when tour companies sell Tokyo packages for 3-4 days, it is really a touch-and-go trip. They will most likely take you to a few popular places for a very short time and hop from city to city.

This will allow you to go straight to your hotel entrance or home and the price would vary anywhere from RM 85.00 to RM 150.00, depending on the area or zone you are going to. Also, after midnight, there is a 50% surcharge on top of your main fare for all taxi services.

Again, if there is three of you with three large luggage bags, they will instead give you a premier taxi or taxi van, which costs a bit more.

The word Tumpang translates as hitching a ride, or overlapping and from the style and shape of the rice, you can see multiple layers of dishes compacted with rice and wrapped in a cone shape with banana leaf.

The origins of this dish goes back to the days where fishermen or farmers wife's would pack the Nasi Tumpang for their husbands to bring it along for their work. The main layered dishes are packed from leftovers of the previous day dinner. During rest time or long working hours, they would open up the cone shaped banana leaf rice and eat as a meal.
