Seeing a blooming rafflesia is certainly the highlight of a trip to Gunung Gading, but the Park and the whole Lundu area are well worth visiting anyway. The rugged mountain peaks that make up the Park provide a scenic backdrop to the nearby town of Lundu, and the nearby beaches at Pandan and Siar. Gunung Gading also has some enjoyable walks and a challenging jungle trek.

Itinerary
1
Gunung Gading National Park
The tour begins with pickup from your hotel at 8.00 AM. You will be meeting our friendly driver at your hotel lobby and proceed for the tour.
The tour starts with a drive for about 2 hours from Kuching City to Guning Gading National Park. A trip to Guning Gading is incomplete without catching the rare sight of the blooming ‘Rafflesia’. However, these unique plants bloom infrequently and have brief flowering period. Gading is the home to numerous rare plants including the world’s largest flower, the Rafflesia tuan-mudae (bunga pakma). At full bloom, this giant flower stretches nearly one meter in width. The flowers can be found on specific vines like the host plant and develop into a bud which then becomes a gigantic flower, brownish red in colour. It stays in plank walk makes the area where Rafflesia is commonly found accessible. The plank walk looms from a loop, which takes about one hour to complete, allowing time to enjoy the forest scenery along the way. Park rangers may be able to take you on a guided walk to Rafflesia site and may even take you deeper into the forest if the plant is flowering there.
