Belum Rainforest Resort. Experience the thrill of chasing giant snakehead fishes in one of the most beautiful settings Malaysia has to offer to anglers worldwide! The Royal Belum state park is a very attractive fishing destination for beginners and die hard anglers to pit their skills.

Upper Belum is known for its very rich population of several aquatic species and the very limited human activities in the area of the state park can deliver great possibilities of huge catches! The largest fish for which the entire area is most famous for is the giant snakehead, locally known as “toman”.

Fishing by the jetty at night. This lake is reputed to have fish in abundance.

Anticipating that, we brought our own fishing rods and fished 2 consecutive evenings.We even used baits that was recommended by the Belum Rainforest Resort staff but we didn't catch a single fish.
