LOWLAND GARDEN

Lush dipterocarp forest vegetation and lianas cover the lower regions
giving way to thick damp mossy forests as the altitude gets higher and
temperatures get cooler.
The variety of plant life found within the park include Agathis, Mountain
Ru, Tree ferns, different species of orchids and begonia. A particularly
interesting specie is the Mengaris tree whose smooth grey trunk makes it
particularly difficult to climb. Wild bees protect their precious store
of honey from the voracious honey bears, by making their honeycombs high
up these trees.
