Kerinci-Seblat National Park is one of Southeast Asia’s largest conservation areas. It harbours the oldest tropical rainforest in Asia and protects the world’s largest flowers and hundreds of plants and animals not found anywhere else in the world. It nestles several mountain lakes, notably the Danau Gunung Tujuh (Lake of the Seven Mountains). It is part of the 2.5-million-hectare Tropical Rainforest Heritage of Sumatra, a World Heritage Site.
One of the most important habitats for tigers, Mount Kerinci is the highest mountain in Sumatra and the second highest in Indonesia.
