The world’s longest jungle canopy walkway is in Taman Nagara National Park in central peninsular Malaysia. Originally built for research purposes, the 1,700-foot-long bridge, connected to the trunk of a tree at either end, is raised 131 feet over the jungle floor. About a mile from the park entrance, it can be reached via jungle trails or boat and is open 10 a.m.-4 p.m. daily (closed when raining).
The park is open year-round, 8 a.m.-5 p.m. At the park entrance, an entry permit must be purchased for MYR1 (near 25¢) per person at Wildlife HQ (No. 6 Gerai Majlis Daerah, 27000 Kuala Tahan, Taman Negara Pahang, Malaysia). A permit to take a camera or camera phone into the park costs MYR5.
