privately-owned nature attraction, which is located on a 4-hectare site
at Bukit Rengit is set within the pristine and verdant Krau
Forest Reserve. It is divided into two attractions - The Deerland
Park of Lanchang and the Deerland Animal World.

Malayanus). A 200-metre long wooden walkway with an
observation tower facilitates tour of
the area.

Timorensis). It offers visitors more
activities, including camping, herb
