Bukit Baka Bukit Raya National Park

This national park has a rich environment of lowland woods, hills, mountains, and tropical forests due to the uncommon combination of two nature reserves and 817 plant species. As a tourist destination, the area presents a spectacular vista, from the grandeur of Demang Uhud waterfall to the tough wild river flow. The biodiversity is mixed with the distinctive culture of the Dayak ethnic group that dwell in the protected area, not only the natural beauty. Visitors may view the traditional Betang longhouse, Ancestor Statues, Handicrafts, and Dayak Traditional Ceremonies while enjoying the natural beauty of Kalimantan.

The balance of nature and culture demonstrates that this location is a home for God's creation.

We will be joined by the sounds of exciting animals such as Orang Utan, Lutung Kukang, Helmeted Hornbill, Rhinoceros Hornbill, and other animal noises as we travel through the jungle of Bukit Baka - Bukit Raya. This park is home to several unique creatures, including Sun Bears, Ruai Birds, Red Apes, and endemic Bornean birds. This shows that this national park is still quite lovely because of the numerous unusual species that live there.

Unique Features

  • The park includes Mount Bukit Raya (2,278 m) and Mount Bukit Baka, offering challenging mountain treks through deep rainforest.
  • The park is part of the Heart of Borneo and shelters rare species such as clouded leopards, orangutans, sun bears, hornbills, and endemic orchids.
  • It plays a crucial ecological role as a water catchment area for the Melawi and Katingan rivers, supporting both wildlife and surrounding communities.
  • Home to Dayak communities, especially the Dayak Limbai and Dayak Ransa, who preserve ancestral customs, traditional longhouses, and forest wisdom.

Things To Do

A visit to Bukit Baka Bukit Raya National Park is a deep dive into Borneo's most remote rainforest wilderness. Adventurers can embark on challenging treks to Mount Bukit Raya, passing through dense jungle, rivers, and steep ridgelines.
