Nial Botanical Conservation Area was established in 1990. This small 2 hectare area has a botanical garden, agro-forestry plot, a nursery, spice gardens, sandal wood and commercial tree species. The owner, Pontiano is very enthusiastic about his collection and a wealth of knowledge.

Nial was not developed for tourists and if you want to visit you need to contact Pontiano. You can phone him on 48837 (training centre) or if that doesn't work call 48516 (community phone, Walarano) and leave a message.

If you're staying at Rose Bay Bungalows, Nial is only about 20 minutes walk away.
