Gunung Gading National Park

    Gunung Gading National Park is a beautiful expanse of mountainous rainforest only two hours away from Kuching. Located near Lundu, a pleasant little town in south-west Sarawak.  the park was a closed conservation zone for the spectacular Rafflesia, the largest flower in the world that can grow up to one metre in diameter.  A plank walk has been built close to where the Rafflesia is commonly found, making viewing possible when the plant is in bloom.  Jungle trails lead to streams, cascading waterfalls and the mountains, with one path taking trekkers to the summit of Gunung Gading (906m). furthermore, The park also includes other three mountain peaks - Gunung Perigi, Gunung Sebuloh and Gunung Lundu.
