Home to the Rafflesia, Gunung Gading houses the largest flower in the world. The Rafflesia is a genus of parasitic plants. It feeds on the nutrition and food of other plants in the tropical rainforest. The flowering season is undetermined and can bud any time, taking nine months to mature and flowering for 4 to 5 days before dying. The Rafflesia also produces a pungent smell to attract flies and carrion beetles in order for pollen to be transferred. Gunung Gading National Park also has some agreeable nature walks and tough jungle treks.
