Gunung Jerai (Mount Jerai) has a variety of orchids. The bloomimg period is usually after the dry season, but it is hard to pinpoint which species to when. The most common orchid that can be seen starting at the forest park will be the purple spathoglottis. From the hotel's elevation will be the grass like Bamboo orchid.



The Forestry Department had created an orchid menagerie at the forest park. Some of the rare ones are being cultivated there. Contact the department for more information.
