Situated in the south-west of Malaysian Borneo, Gunung Gading National Park is the best place to find the rafflesia, the world’s largest flower, among a pristine rainforest environment.

In addition to protecting the rafflesia, the national park provides refuge for a diverse array of flora and fauna. However, for the most part, much of the wildlife here's on the elusive side and except for a number of reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates. Little is known about the birdlife here (or the mammals), although at least 62 species have been identified, and it's likely that many more call this forest home.

Sarawak: Walk on the Wild Side

This itinerary includes Bako National Park, where a network of trails allows you to explore the forest at dawn and dusk to view its proboscis monkeys and varied birdlife. The highlight, however, is a three-day jungle trek in search of wild orangutan, and a visit to a traditional Iban longhouse. Find out more about Sarawak: Walk on the Wild Side
