The Heritage of The Borneo Pristine Forest

The Gunung Palung National Park provides the ideal home for a wide variety of plant and animal species. This is seen from the fact that practically all of Kalimantan's bird species may be found in this National Park. The fact that this National Park serves as a local community's supply of water makes it extremely beneficial for life in addition to having a significant impact on flora and animals.

The visiting experience is made even more exciting by the distinctive geography and fauna.

The Matan River's banks is where you may find black orchids, which are native to the park. Along with it, there's another breathtaking location called the Peak of Mount Palung, which provides climbing, camping, and hiking excursions in the forest. Rapids and waterfalls may also be seen while boating while wildlife is being seen.
