Manusela National Park

Lonely Planet may earn a commission from affiliate links on our site. All recommendations and reviews reflect our own independent opinions.

Established in 1997, this remote national park mostly attracts birdwatchers drawn by the chance to see rare parrots. Home to four villages and a number of minority peoples, the park is mountainous and covered in thick jungle. Hiking is arduous here. A guide and permits are needed to visit, which can be arranged at the tourist office in Seram's capital Masohi.
