The Gunung Gading National Park is a national park in Lundu District, Kuching Division, Sarawak, Malaysia.[1] The park is located roughly two hours drive from Kuching, and is a popular destination for seeing the Rafflesia flower in bloom. After 10 years as a conservation zone to protect the Rafflesia, the park opened to visitors in 1994. The park also has a number of jungle trails to waterfalls or to the 965m summit of Gunung Gading.

One of the features of the park is great biodiversity.[2]
