Description

Retak Hill sits at the north of Pagon Hill with a height of 1,618 metres (5,308 ft),[3] and remained one of the major hills in Brunei.[4] Montane forest covers the hill,[5][6] followed by the presence of quartzite rocks and metamorphosed siltstones.[7]

History

A crucial expedition team was sent to the forests around Tembikai and Retak Hill in 1978.[8] In the early 1980s, it was known that Netelia harmani wasps were found on the hill.[9] Moreover, Papilio acheron butterflies were also found on the mountain.[10]
