Bukit Tiban National Park

Escape to Bukit Tiban National Park, a pristine lowland rainforest in northern Sarawak where orangutans roam, hornbills soar, and ancient dipterocarp trees rise above lush jungle floors. With its rich biodiversity and untouched beauty, this park is a must-visit for eco-travelers and nature lovers seeking the wild heart of Borneo.

Why Visit
