Sebangau National Park

Sebangau National Park is a 568,700-hectare peat-swamp national park located between the Sebangau and Katingan rivers in Central Kalimantan, near Palangka Raya. Established in 2004, it protects one of the largest intact tropical peatland forests in Borneo and hosts the world's largest orangutan population. The park features blackwater rivers, diverse wildlife, and conservation-focused ecotourism centered on river cruises and forest exploration.

Visitors can expect a vast tropical peat-swamp forest accessed primarily by motorized boat (klotok) along the blackwater Sebangau River. The landscape consists of dense peat forest, river channels, and wooden boardwalks near Kereng Bangkirai. Visitors explore via guided river cruises and short forest treks to observe wildlife including orangutans, gibbons, proboscis monkeys, and diverse birdlife. Facilities are basic and nature-focused, with interpretation at the visitor centre and WWF research station.
