Pahang > Tasik Bera (Bera)

Tasik Bera is a largest fresh water in Peninsular Malaysia natural, located in southwest Pahang, Malaysia in the saddle of the main and eastern mountain ranges of Peninsular Malaysia, extending 35 km long and 20 km wide, drainings into the Pahang River.

As the largest freshwater [swamp] in Peninsular Malaysia, Tasik Bera or Bera Lake remains both a unique and remote wetland wilderness. Surrounded by a patchwork of dry lowland dipterocarp forests, the lake environment includes islands of peat swamp forests. Rich in wildlife and vegetation, it is an eco-system that supports not only diversity of animal and plant life, but sustains the livelihood of the Semelai, the aboriginal people inhibiting the wetlands.

The wet months of Tasik Bera is April to May and June to August. According to the local aboriginal community, the Semelai, good fishing is after heavy rains.

How To Get There

There is only one resort in Tasik Bera but visitors are permitted to camp on the north end of the lake at Sudin's Jetty, as well as the grounds near the resort.
