# Everything a day-tripper actually asks

Six guides covering the whole day: the timeline, the river, the village, the weather, and the two questions worth answering before you spend a ringgit: is one day enough, and should you just go on your own?

### Is One Day Enough in Taman Negara?

### Lata Berkoh: The River Cruise on Your Day Trip

Lata Berkoh is a roughly 30-minute boat cruise up Sungai Tahan to a river pool. What to expect, why it depends on water levels, and the RM 100 per person refund if it cannot run.

### The Orang Asli (Batek) Village Visit
