Tour Itinerary
Discover the forest-clad slopes of Mount Gading, a popular destination for nature lovers and home to one of the world's most extraordinary plants—the Rafflesia, the largest flower in the world. With a bit of luck, you may have the opportunity to see a Rafflesia in bloom. This remarkable parasitic plant has no leaves and consists only of roots and a flower, growing exclusively on a specific host plant. As the flower buds take many months to develop and remain in bloom for only a few days before naturally decaying, sightings cannot be guaranteed.
