Borneo Bali Nusa Penida and Gili (17D/16N)

Luggage ready, today is the day to get to know one of the most important centers of biodiversity in the world and the third largest island on the planet. Borneo!!! After breakfast, at the right time you will be transferred to the airport to take a direct flight to Pangkalan Bun, on the island of Borneo, or better known by Indonesians as Kalimantan. Upon arrival at the airport your guide will be waiting for you to transfer you to the port of Kumai, about 15-20 minutes by car, where we will embark on a great adventure! The time of entry to the boat will be at 11am or earlier if the boat is already available.

If your flight arrives early (before 12.00) we can arrive on time at the rehabilitation center of Tanjung Harapan where at 3 pm, the Rangers of the National Park feed the Orangutans. Here you can have the first close encounters with them. Tanjung Harapan’s translation is Cape of Hope. This first camp is one of those that has more wetlands, and being in the afternoon means that there are more mosquitoes so make sure you get enough mosquito repellent.

After visiting this Ranger Camp, you will continue upstream, resting on the boat, while we look for animals in the vicinity of the Sekonyer River. This afternoon it is very common to see groups of proboscis monkeys and macaques in the treetops, jumping from one branch to another. Maybe we can even see monitor lizards or crocodiles in the shallow waters of the sides of the river. Get ready for the sunset and enjoy the exquisite food prepared by our jungle crew. The boat moors on the side of the river for the night.

Tonight we can take a walk through the jungle to look for nocturnal animals such as snakes, tarantulas or even if we are lucky, we can see luminescent mushrooms or tarsier monkeys.

Today you will wake up to the sounds and colors of the jungle. With total certainty, you will never forget how you woke up in the river surrounded by this overflowing nature.

After an extraordinary breakfast aboard we are going in time to see the Tanggui Camp during the time of feeding the animals (9am). Little by little you will see how the branches of the treetops begin to move and then you can see the silhouettes of the Orangutans gradually reaching the feeding platform. Tanggui was a Release camp where young orangutans who were rehabilitated, get food every day to prevent the Orangutans from leaving for lack of food, and end up outside the National Park, with the next risk of falling into traps of villagers or fields of Palm Oil Plantations.

After the Orangutans start to leave, you will return again to the Klotok to go even further upstream. You will see how the coloration of the river changes and you will have the opportunity to see crocodiles and large monitor lizards, along with Gibbons and Proboscis Monkeys. And of course, enjoy lunch in the middle of this natural setting.

Then we arrive at Camp Leakey, the old orangutan research and rehabilitation center since 1971, when a student at UCLA Los Angeles named Birutte Galdikas began studying Orangutans there. The name Camp Leaky comes from Birutte’s own professor, Paleananthropologist Louis Leakey. At least 200 orangutans have already been cured and returned to the jungles thanks to this center. However since 1995, the Government of Indonesia has banned the introduction of more Orangutans in this camp, so the Orangutans are increasingly adapting to freedom. To this day, the camp is used as behavior research and feeding of Orangutans. At 14.00 you can see the feeding time of the Orangutans. You can also visit the small museum made by the scientist Dra. Birute Galdikas.

At the end of observing the orangutans in this camp and if time and conditions permit, we will make a gentle hike through the jungle back to the boat to look for wild orangutans and other animals. On the way we will have the opportunity to learn more of our local guides, some of them were born in the jungle. They will tell you how to look for carnivorous animals and plants or you can simply listen to their experience of life in the jungle. The jungles of Borneo, have given life and home to the inhabitants for millions of years, this are jungles that under the eyes of the grandparents are able to give everything one needs. Food, water, medicine, yes… Never put anything in your mouth without the recommendation of your guide.

In the afternoon, if it does not rain, the ship will dock near a congregation of fireflies and you can enjoy the spectacle of its luminescences.

At the agreed time, we will pick you up at your hotel and you will begin to march your footprints in this “home” of the gods. We will visit the places on the fantastic route of Come2Indonesia. The first place will be the Taman Ayun Temple (was founded in the seventeenth century), located in the village of Mengwi which was the seat of a powerful dating back to the Gelgel Dynasty until 1891. It is surrounded by a moat that looks like a landscaped sanctuary, which explains the term taman, or garden. The temple is a penyawangan or place to worship other sacred sites.

From Taman Ayun, the compass heads towards Jatiluwih,where we will undoubtedly admire and enjoy a beautiful view of rice terraces that encompass the entire landscape of South Bali. The name Jatiluwih is composed of two words, Jati which means really and Luwih which means beautiful, good and special. Without a doubt, this place has not only a beautiful name but the beauty is really reflected in its landscape.

From Jatiluwih, we will go to Bedugul where we will visit the Ulun Danu Bratan Temple, the famous temple that rises in a small promoter located on the shore of Lake Beratan. It has a beautiful landscape with the said lake and the mountain as a backdrop the view. It is without a doubt, one of the most photogenic temples of Indonesia. This temple is dedicated to Dewi Danu, goddess of waters.

We will finish the visit on this fantastic route and end the day bt watching the sunset at the most famous and photographed temple in Bali, the Pura Tanah Lot. Broken from the earth on a stone pedestal sculpted by the incoming tides, the lonely black towers of the Tanah Lot and the plumes of foliage spilled by the cliffs recall the delicacy of Chinese painting. The Pura Tanah Lot or the Temple of Land in the Middle of the Sea was built in the sixteenth century. After visiting the Tanah Lot, we return to hotel.
