In the evening we went to another motorized boat ride to the catarcts of Lata Berkoh, a beautiful waterfall. However we could not stay there longer as there were some work places of busy bees. We spent about 2 hours for back and forth. My client point me out a hornbill flew from onside to another. (I will post the bird list separately later).
Third Day:
I was eager to experience the world's longest suspension bridge in the jungle of Taman Negara. Before I went to the resort outlet where the breakfast is serving, I enjoyed the early morning songs of lovely birds near my room. Breakfast was really nice like the day before. The guide was ready and proceed to the Canopy Walkway. He highlighted rich flora and fauna en-route however my memory is not suitable to remember the names of flowers and plants. We cross the 40 meters high and 530 meters long Canopy Walkway and experience the existence of the rainforest from a very different perspective. We continued to Teresek Hill. We went back the same way afterwards.
In the afternoon. We went for another boat ride in a strong current river for 45 minutes.
The Last Day:
After breakfast, we went back to the Kuala Lumpur through same way. You think it was boring? "No" it was another beautiful way that with full of environmental concerns in my mind.

Malaysian Bird specialist saw my Bird List for Tamanegara and made a rush comment as below.
27. Jungle Myna is not common there and perhaps I mixed up with another birds.
20. Scarlet-backed Flowerpeacker is also not a common there. He confidently said I mixed up with another birds again.
30. Black Drongo >> Although I spotted a few times in the Taman Negara area, he said it is not a common bird. But it can be seen there.
