About this experience
The Rafflesia arnoldii is one of nature's most extraordinary wonders: a parasitic flower that can reach one metre in diameter, has no roots, stems or leaves, and blooms for only a few days. Our guides know exactly where to look. On this guided half-day trek through the forest around Bukit Lawang, you'll learn about the plant's life cycle, explore rarely-visited trails, and, if you're lucky enough to find one in bloom, witness something that most naturalists dream of seeing. The hunt itself is an adventure, whether or not you find a bloom.
