Kutai National Park, Protected rainforest reserve in East Kalimantan, Indonesia.

The park spans 2,000 square kilometers of lowland tropical forest, containing 958 plant species and hosting a substantial orangutan population near the equator.

The area received protection status in the 1970s as Kutai Game Reserve before becoming a national park in 1982 to combat deforestation from logging.

The park borders traditional Bugis settlements, where local communities maintain their customs while residing near this expansive natural reserve.

Visitors access the park through Sangkima station by car or Prevab station via boat ride along the Sangatta River from Kabo Pier.

The Sangkima section contains a millennium-old iron wood tree among its collection of eight different genera of Dipterocarp trees.
