The journey passes through dense, luxuriant rainforest, rubber
plantations, pepper orchards, cocoa gardens, padi fields, small
roadside towns and kampongs. The Park consists of a rugged network
of mountains made up of several peaks. Gunung Gading is the highest
at 906 metres. These mountains are an important landmark in the
Lundu district and the whole region is one of remarkable beauty.
Gunung Gading is not only home to the world's largest flower,
the Rafflesia which at full bloom stretches nearly one metre in
width but also to other numerous rare plants. There is however
no particular flowering season for Rafflesia but each flower bloom
will last only a few days. |
