with multiple attractions to choose from. Of the 54 national parks, 6 are

Reserves and 5 are wetlands of international importance. Here is a list of 3
must visit national parks in Indonesia:
Tanjung Puting National Park
Situated deep in one of the world’s most prominent lungs, Borneo, this
area makes a wonderful home for the adorable orangutan primates, as well as other unusual natural species such as the
bearded pig, pythons, and pitcher plant. The park, with an area of 416,000
hectares, consists of forests, swamps, mangroves, and even a coastal beach,
presenting visitors with a wide range of flora and fauna. Beyond a popular
ecotourism destination, the park also houses research centers and conservation
facilities for orangutans.
Bunaken National Park
Throughout the
enormous Indonesian archipelago, Bunaken National Park covers one of the
planet’s thickest spots for marine biodiversity. It has a very rich coral
ecosystem lying on the seabed, including the remarkable and massive
perpendicular coral wall inhabited by various corals, sponges, and mollusks.
With those remarkable features, Bunaken National Park has at least 20 popular
diving points with varying tourist attractions, difficulty levels, and depths.
Beyond the sea, this national park’s beauty expands to its land area, with plush
palm trees, coconut trees, and widespread species of wild deer, macaque, and
bear cuscus.
Kerinci Seblat National Park
The extensive
national park spans over four provinces in Sumatra and includes the country’s
second highest volcano peak, Mount Kerinci. The pure nature helps wildlife
to flourish in this area, making the national park a home to a mixture of unusual
species. More than 4,000 plant species also call the park home, including the
world’s largest flower, Rafflesia arnoldi, and also the
loftiest flower, Titan arum. This zone is also the natural
habitat of endangered wild species of tigers, rhinoceroses, and birds.
