Gunung Palung National Park

Gunung Palung National Park is a protected national park spanning Ketapang and Kayong Utara Regencies in West Kalimantan, Indonesian Borneo. Covering approximately 90,000 hectares, it is notable for its exceptional habitat diversity, including mangrove, peat swamp, lowland and montane rainforest, and for being one of the most important remaining habitats for wild Bornean orangutans. The park centers on Mount Palung (1,116 m) and hosts the long-running Cabang Panti Research Station.

Visitors can expect a remote, densely forested national park with diverse ecosystems ranging from coastal mangrove and peat swamp to lowland and montane rainforest around Mount Palung. The park is accessed via forest trails from entrances near Sukadana and Ketapang, with guided treks through primary rainforest. Visitors can see old-growth forest, rivers, and wildlife such as Bornean orangutans, proboscis monkeys, gibbons and hornbills, and visit the Cabang Panti Research Station area. Facilities are basic and exploration is on foot with a guide.
