Check transport from Lundu. The park is 3 km north of Lundu, about two hours away by bus or car. Arrive with enough time to settle in before dark.

Settle at the park. Grab a coffee or light snack at the park office or nearby stalls if available. The entrance fee is RM20 (RM10 for nationals). If you want to hike, book a guided walk for RM30 per group. This is also the time to ask about Rafflesia blooms, though they are rare and short-lived.
18:50
Watch the sunset. Find a spot with a western view. The sun sets toward the WSW around 18:50. The golden light begins around 18:21, offering a warm glow through the trees.
19:35
Stay for the night. The park offers cottages, a dorm, and camping spots (RM5). Staying overnight allows you to experience the rainforest after dark, a completely different atmosphere.
Local tip
Rafflesia blooms are unpredictable and last only a few days. Always check with the park office upon arrival to avoid disappointment. If you are not seeing the flower, the orchids and the world's tallest flower are still worth the hike.
