To know the origins of Banding, you must first know the story of Temenggor. More than two decades ago before Banding or even Temenggor Lake ever existed, a number of rivers from the mountain ranges flowed into the Temenggor lowlands and gorges, creating a huge catchment area.
While serving as a source of water supply to the neighboring villages and "Orang Asli" (indigenous people) settlements, this rich source of food and water supply attracted the communist terrorists to the area. Banding Island provides an excellent opportunity for tourists to indulge in a quiet association with nature.
The jungle surrounding Lake Temenggor is virtually untouched, and the island is the perfect base for exploring the lakes and tropical rainforest in the vicinity. These span from fresh water fishing, boat rides, water sports and jungle trekking during the day, to the observation of wildlife at night.
There are also a lot of resting huts available for picnicking and fishing activities. Visitors can have a boat ride or peddling kayak around the scenic lake. It is a peaceful and relaxing spots for anglers that last for hours. Visitors will enjoy the breeze and windy atmosphere surrounded by lush greenery and stunning landscapes of Temenggor Lake.
