Epiphytes such as orchids and ferns are numerous along Sungai Tahan and Sungai Keniam. Palm flora in the montane forest is extremely rich and includes the endemic palm Liviston Tahanenis.

The Fishing Eagle and Kingfishers are often seen along the rivers, and the Sungai Tahan is a favourite area of the Masked Finfoot.

Wildlife generally is more numerous and diverse in the lowland than at higher altitudes, and the tropical rainforest faunas. Mammals can be difficult to see due to the density of the vegetation and the animals' shy tendencies.

Leaf Monkeys are most often heard as they crash through the tree tops when disturbed. White Handed Gibbons and Siamang, in family groups make an exciting morning chorus from high in the forest canopy.
