- Comfortable microclimate (24–27°C)
- High negative ion concentration (>20,000 ions/cm³)
- Dominated by cajuput trees (known for medicinal aroma)
- Rich in biodiversity, karst landscapes, and natural water sources

With the right management and interpretation, this park could become a model for eco-wellness tourism in Indonesia.
