Gunung Gading is home to the world’s largest flower, the Rafflesia, which can grow up to one metre in diameter. When in bloom the flower gives off nasty smell which attracts flies and other insects. The Rafflesia has no specific season, taking nine months to mature and flowering for only 4 or 5 days before dying. Gunung Gading also has some enjoyable walks and challenging jungle treks.

Itinerary :
In the morning depart from the hotel in the city to commence a fullday trip to Gunung Gading National Park, the tour will start with a drive from Kuching city for about 40 min before stopping at a small town called Siniawan where you will be able to see Bird’s Nest *a delicacy among the Asian* processing for about 30 minutes. After that continue journey to see Bau Town *a 19th century gold mining town* situated about 35 km from Kuching city to relax for a while at Bau Town..to wander around the small shops and the native markets in this town and marvel at their slow and leisurely pace of life and proceed to visit a Chinese Temple.

Following this, you will proceed further towards Lundu, another small town and later to Gunung Gading National Park.and at the registration, you will discover if the Gods have been kind to you..whether today, there is a Rafflesia in bloom. Then you will proceed through the park, and hopefully along one of these thick jungle trails, there will be a Rafflesia hiding, biding you to get a closer look. Your guide/park guide will explain about the plant life at this park to you. Local lunch will be at Lundu Town.

After all these trekking, you may find it pleasurable to jump into the nearby stream, from which ends a waterfall or series of waterfalls and cool off in this delicate mountain springs (if time/weather permitting) before you return to Kuching.
