The total catchment area of Lake Bera is around 61,380 hectares, while the Ramsar site of 31,120 hectares include some 6,800 hectares of wetland habitats, known as the biggest natural lake in Malaysia.
The lake is patches and joint to one another by a small fast flowing channel between them with full of ‘screwpines’ plants or Rasau in Malay and ‘Pitcher Plant’ floating on the water.The Ramsar Convention on Wetlands is an intergovernmental treaty adopted to preserve and conserve selected bodies of wetlands or swamps, which are of international importance.
HABITAT & FLORA IN BERA LAKE | TASIK BERA PAHANG
Lake Bera is an inland riverine swamp, which supports a biological community unique to Malaysia, and possibly represented nowhere else in the world. Of the 6,800 hectares of wetlands inside the Ramsar site, the main habitats comprises of freshwater and peat swamp forests, transitional open-forested swamps and open water, with a highly diverse algae community and beds of submerged macrophytes.
The world’s only species of submerged plant, the purple water trumpet is found in the swamp forests along the river banks, whilst bladderwort and floating water lilies are found in the main open water. Pandans and emergent plants such as the rare sedge are abundant in large open swamps.
The forest of the drier lowlands is dominated by dipterocarps, which include some of the commercial timber species. The canopy can reach heights of between 30-40 metres, but some emergent can reach a height of more than 50 metres.
A total of 374 plant species have been recorded at Lake Bera, of which 10 are known to be endemic to Peninsular Malaysia.
THE RIVER IN BERA LAKE MALAYSIA
Another rewarding river trip is to start your journey from Kuala Bera. From there it will take 2 days for you to reach the lake. Break your journey at Temangan (Orang Asli Settlement) then continue the next day. You need to bring along camping gears, foods and drinking water, cooking facilities, otherwise you will end up to spend the night with their family.
Bera river is quite challenging, the water is deep, winding river, a lot of obstacles like drift wood, thorny Rattan Palm, Pandanus leaves. As you go deeper you will find the river is getting smaller and tougher, you also have to pass through a few rapids, and one of them is called ‘Jeram Panjang’. Long before that, you will meet the Serting River on your right, a tributary of Bera river. Hire a boat with a good and experienced boatman to meander the river so that your trip is safe and enjoyable.
FISHING IN BERA LAKE MALAYSIA | TASIK BERA PAHANG
Fishing is ‘paradise’ at Lake Bera. Hire a motorize boat or dugout canoe to go fishing around the lake. From the jetty at Lake Bera Resort you may go down stream as far as to Lubuk Ranting or going up stream until Pulau Benal. If you are on your own, make sure you find your way back, if not hire a guide.
Lake Bera is a vast natural lake where the water is fast flowing and deep. With a little of luck, right baits and right place you could catch the biggest species of the lake called ‘Tapah’ fish. Among the famous fish that can be found are Snake Head Fish (Toman), Cat Fish (Baung), Arowana and Tenggalan. During monsoon, you can enjoy searching for newly hatched Arowana as the demand for it is very rewarding.
Bring along your fishing equipment or you may hire one at the Tourist Complex of Lake Bera. Among the best and most recommended baits are ‘Green Frog’, small ‘Cat Fish’ and Tapioca that being soak into water for a few nights.
PEOPLE’S OF THE LAKE ‘SEMELAI TRIBE’
If you happen to be at Lake Bera don’t forget to pay a visit to their little village around the lake. ‘Semelai people (Proto Malay) can only be found at the lake, their physical features and way of life is almost similar to the Malay people some seventy years back. Although, they have their own dialect, they understand and speak Malay too.
Today, they are still cultivated crops for their own consumption, plant rubber, palm oil and some are participated in the Felda Scheme to seek for a better tomorrow. Once a year, during dry season they are also planting ‘Dry Padi’ (Padi Huma) and harvested them three months later.
Not to forget, fishing and jungle products are still become their side income. Do not worry, if you meet them in jungle, greet them ‘Apa Khabar’ they are nice and friendly people. A journey by boat through the Bera River will give you a chance to stop at two main settlements, namely Bukit Rok and Temangan. Another main settlement is in the southern part of the lake, Pos Iskandar, about 3 hours by boat. All the settlements mentioned, can also be accessed by road.
The process of extracting resin from the keruing tree is a dying art that is still practiced by the Semelai tribe (local aboriginals). The resin is used for various purposes, in particular for painting and protecting woods. No less amazing is to witness the making of a jungle torch using the resin of the Keruing tree. In the olden days before the invention of torchlights, the Semelais’ have relied on this environmentally friendly jungle torch to move about in the darkness of the forest.

Kisah Dari Tasik Bera / Tales from Bera Lake
Cerita yang diceritakan oleh tukwan/nenek aku sendiri mengenai kisah seekor ular besar nak letak tajuk apa aku pun tak tau.. cerita yang menjadikan tempat nie menjadi antara tempat paling keramat disuatu kawasan di tasik bera oleh kerana ular besar itu.
Ceritanya bermula begini 2 adik beradik sedang mencari ikan di tebing sungai ,pendapatan mereka pada hari tersebut sangatlah lumayan. Kerana terlalu khusyuk mereka mencari ikan si adik berasa pelik kerana abangnya tidak kelihatan walhal mereka tidak berjauhan ketika mencari ikan…memanggil nama abangnya yang langsung tidak bersahutan .maka ternampak lah olehnya sebuah lubang yang besar .tanpa membuang masa beliau terus masuk kedalam lubang itu ,mungkin saja abangnya ada didalam.
Semakin lama semakin kelam dan gelap lubang yang besar itu dan makin sempit hingga beliau terpaksa merangkak didalam air yang penuh dan lumpur serta bau hanyir ular.. bau hanyir ular ?? beliau sudah agak mungkin saja abangnya menjadi mangsa ular besar tersebut.Dengan penuh dendam beliau terus mengekori dan menyusup ke dalam lubang tersebut dengan dendam ingin membunuh ular tersebut selama 3 hari beliau mengekori dan menyusup ke ketika beliau menyusuri lubang tersebut.
Beliau terlihat akan cahaya dari lubang dihadapannya ketika itulah dia mendengar suara orang kampung dan bunyi ayam denak/ayam hutan sedang mengais mencari makanan . Dengan menggunakan keris yang dibawanya dia terus mengorek dan keluar dari lubang tersebut ..orang kampung kehairanan dan beliau menceritakan segalanya kepada orang kampung.
Dengan bantuan orang kampung mereka mencari batang kayu yang panjang yang telah ditajamkan setelah sarang ular itu berjaya dikesan maka dia dan orang kampung serta merta menikam ke arah lubang dengan cara memasakkan kayu2x tajam tersebut terus ke sarang ular tersebut .Si adik dan beberapa orang kampung turun ke dalam lubang tersebut untuk memastikan ular tersebut mati ,dan dengan itu maka terlaksana lah sudah dendamnya ke atas kematian abangnya yang menjadi ular tersebut.
Tempat itu ialah pulau buntar iaitu dikawasan persona lake resort mengikut cerita orang dulu2x.. kawasan pulau buntar adalah kawasan yang paling keras dan keramat di penuhi dengan jin2x kerana ianya tempat pembunuhan ular tersebut .ketika dulu adalah amat dilarang barang siapa pun pergi ke kawasan itu kerana akan terjadi perkara yang tidak diingini berlaku seperti contoh tersampuk atau mendapat penyakit yang ganjil dan misteri yang boleh mengakibatkan maut.
Ada satu cerita yang mana penduduk kawasan kampung berdekatan dengan tempat itu ( sebelum resort dibina) sedang memancing ikan berdekatan kawasan tersebut .Sedang leka memancing beliau ditegur oleh satu suara yang bertanyakan ” oiiii erei gie khom cereh ?? ” = oii banyak ke dapat ikan?? lalu dia menjawab ” erei nya!!” = banyak jugak!! ketika balik ke rumah dia terus rebah dan meninggal dunia terus…. tapi setelah persona lake resort di buka dikawasan pulau buntar tersebut sedikit demi sedikit keramatnya dan kekerasannya sudah berkurangan …
jangan takut sekarang dah takde aper dah selamat dan terjamin keselamatan anda…asalkan jangan buat mende tok senonoh tempat mcm tu…anytime jer dia nak kenakan..saya yang sudah dua kali ke kawasan resort tersebut pasti akan disambut dengan hujan panas dan hilang serta merta setelah menjamah air tasik/ basuh muka atau bersugik dalam semelainya ..susah kadang nak percaya kejadian mcm nie ..tp dah 2 kali kena percaya biase2x jer la takde lah terlalu taksub..
