The best time to go to Temenggor is during the dry season, which generally runs from March to September, allowing for the most comfortable and accessible experience.During these months, you'll find clearer skies and less rainfall, making it ideal for outdoor activities such as jungle trekking, wildlife spotting, and exploring Lake Temenggor by boat. The lower humidity also makes hiking more pleasant. This period is particularly good for those keen on seeing the Rafflesia flower, as its blooming season often falls within these drier months.For travellers interested in wildlife, especially birdwatching, the dry season offers excellent opportunities. Many migratory birds pass through or reside in the Belum-Temenggor rainforest during this time, and the drier conditions make them easier to spot.
