Bukit Baka Bukit Raya National Park

The park extends across 1,679 square kilometers of tropical rainforest within the Schwaner mountain range, reaching elevations of 777 meters above sea level.

The national park emerged from the 1992 merger of two nature reserves: the 500-square-kilometer Bukit Raya reserve established in 1978 and Bukit Baka reserve created in 1982.

The territory includes settlements of seven Dayak groups: Limbai, Ransa, Kenyilu, Ot Danum, Malahui, Kahoi, and Kahayan, who maintain traditional forest practices.

Visitors start their journey from Palangka Raya airport, followed by a drive through peat swamp forests to reach Tumbang Habangoi Village for park access.

The park contains 817 plant species, including rare specimens like Symplocos rayae and Gluta sabahana, while providing habitat for orangutans and clouded leopards.
