Pekan Sehari Temerloh
Every Sunday, the riverside shores of Pahang are populated by vendors selling locally caught fish and fresh produce, as well as various handmade goods, including colorful Batik sarongs, carved wooden souvenirs, and herbal teas. Fishermen and crafters from different cities around Temerloh come by riverboat to set up shop on Pekan Sehari. Here you can sample tasty local food, like satar, a paste of fish, coconut, lemongrass, and chilies wrapped in banana leaves, or curried and fried fish puffs.
Gunung Senyum Recreational Forest
Gunung Senyum Recreational Forest provides an escape into the wilderness, where you can learn about the fascinating limestone caves that are found here. Some of the caves are home to rare and diverse species of tree or contain interesting rock formations, while others have a deep connection to the Muslim relgion as passages of the Quran are carved in to the walls. Many of the caves can be viewed from the outside, but only three are open for visitors to explore. The forest also provides hiking trails through the scenic landscapes, where you can view rare plant and tree species that populate the landscape of this forest such as a variety of mosses.
Taman Tasik Bandar Park
This tranquil oasis just off the main drag in town is a great place to take a stroll or a jog around the picturesque lake or have a picnic at one of the covered seating areas. Paths surrounded by lush vegetation will make you feel like you’re miles outside of the city, and there are playgrounds for kids, free exercise equipment to use, and a small amphitheater and stage for events within the park.
