NATIONAL PARK CONSERVATION

Ujung Kulon National Park

Recognizing the desire of tourists to witness an unique and endangered species, the Javan Rhino.
Located on the Banten Province ( westernmost tip of Java Island) , Indonesia
  • 122,956 Ha
  • Javan Rhino, Javan Leopard, Javan Dhole, Fishing Cat, Javan Mongoose, Java Mouse-deer, Civets, Javan Leaf Monkey, Long-tailed Macaque, Smooth-coated Otter, False Gharial, Estuarine Crocodile, Shrubs

Peeping the Javan Rhino

Due to its sluggish population growth and restricted habitat, Ujung Kulon is the sole location where the Javan Rhino is protected. The Javan Rhino is said to thrive in Ujung Kulon due to its healthy forest dynamics and sparse animal population, which does not significantly impede the Javan Rhino's growth.

 

White sand beaches and crystal-clear waters make them a preferred travel destination. Peucang Island's beach is one of them. Visitors may feel secure and at ease while on vacation because of the accommodations, jetty, information center, electricity, and communication that are provided. When they are in motion in the afternoon, wildlife attractions including Banteng, Peacock, Jungle Chicken, Wild Boar, and Long-tailed Macaques put on fascinating shows.

 

A location to engage with unique creatures while relaxing on a pristine white beach and immersed in a rich culture.

 

This national park is also rich in culture. The Sunda tribe of Banten is famed for its debus art, which allows anybody who masters it to become invulnerable to sharp things; thus, visitors find it highly intriguing.

Unique Feature

  • The park is the only remaining habitat of the critically endangered Javan rhinoceros, with fewer than 80 individuals left in the wild.
  • Recognized for its ecological importance and biodiversity, Ujung Kulon was the first national park in Indonesia to gain UNESCO status.
  • The park combines lowland rainforests, mangrove swamps, coral reefs, savannas, and beaches, supporting a rich variety of plant and animal life.
  • Nearby Panaitan Island was affected by the 1883 Krakatoa eruption, and the park still bears geological and cultural traces of this event.
  • The coastal areas are perfect for snorkeling and diving, featuring coral reefs, sea turtles, and abundant marine biodiversity in crystal-clear waters.

Things To Do

Visiting Ujung Kulon National Park is an extraordinary experience of raw nature and rare wildlife. Adventurers can trek through tropical rainforests, explore the peninsula's hidden rivers, and spot exotic animals such as hornbills, leaf monkeys, and if lucky, signs of the elusive Javan rhino. The park also offers boat trips to Handeuleum Island, canoe tours through mangroves, and snorkeling in the vibrant reefs around Peucang and Panaitan Islands. With its secluded beaches, lush jungle trails, and incredible biodiversity, Ujung Kulon is a perfect destination for wildlife lovers, hikers, divers, and those seeking off-the-grid natural beauty.
