Tekek
village can be considered as the heart of Tioman. The airport
is located at Tekek and so does police station, the hospital,
local authorities, other government offices and of course
the mosque. You also find a few well-stocked shops and an
Internet Café.
The
only available road at Tioman is from Tekek village to Lalang
village (Berjaya
Tioman Beach Resort and Berjaya Tioman Suites) in the
south. Heading north the road will turn in a good concrete
path on which you can bicycle (rent in Tekek for RM5 an
hour) until Nazri's
II in Air Batang.
Better don't rent a moped (RM15 an hour) because you can't
climb the stairs at the headland between Tekek and Air Batang
with it. For those who love thrill can try jungle trekking
from Tekek village to Juara
village. Main attraction while trekking is the waterfall.
