Gunung Ranai

Gunung Ranai is the highest peak of Natuna Besar island, a remote island in the South China Sea between Borneo and the mainland Malaysian peninsula. Ranai is simultaneously the most isolated Ribu on the list, but also the Ribu closest to an airport. Given its isolation, it is not surprising that there is some fascinating flora and fauna to be spotted on Natuna Besar. Lucky hikers will spot bright red terrestrial crabs, numerous pitcher plants and maybe even the very rare and endangered primate known locally as the Kekah.

The large, forested Pesawaran – Ratai mountain range lies to the southwest of Bandar Lampung yet it is very rarely climbed by hikers – our trip here was the first since 2007! From the summit ridge of the highest peak Ratai there are excellent views to surrounding forest and the Lampung coastline and you will almost certainly hear the calls of siamangs who live in this remarkably wild area.
