Pulong Tau National Park, National park in Kelabit Highlands, Malaysia

The park extends over 59,917 hectares from the western Kelabit highlands to Mount Murud, including the twin peaks of Batu Lawi and Tama Abu mountain range.

Following a community petition in the 1970s, Sarawak's National Parks & Wildlife Office submitted a formal proposal in 1984 to protect 164,500 hectares of natural territory.

The name Pulong Tau means 'our forests' in both Kelabit and Lun Bawang languages, representing the indigenous communities' connection to their natural environment.

Access to the park requires navigation through remote trails, and visitors need substantial preparation for hiking and outdoor activities in the mountainous terrain.

The park contains multiple forest types, including mixed dipterocarp, oak-laurel, heath, and mossy elfin forests, supporting 67 bird species and 28 mammal species.

Inception: 1998
