Accommodation: FM7 Resort Hotel – Superior Room

DAY 2:JAKARTA – PANGKALAN BUN – KUMAI – TANJUNG HARAPAN       ▼

After breakfast, at the appointed time the hotel’s driver will take you to the airport to catch your flight to Pangkalan Bun, Borneo. Upon arrival in Pangkalan Bun, your guide will transfer you to the port of Kumai in about 15-20 minutes by car where you will board our traditional wooden boat called a klotok. Once everything is ready, the cruise upstream starts on the famous Sekonyer river abroad the klotok.

If your flight arrives early (before 12 PM), we can arrive on time at the Tanjung Harapan rehabilitation centre. There at 3 in the afternoon, the orangutans are fed by the rangers of the national park and you can have the first close encounters with them. The literal translation of Tanjung Harapan is Cape of Hope. This first camp has more wetlands and therefore has more mosquitoes in the afternoon. Make sure you put on enough mosquito repellent. After visiting this camp, you will continue your journey upriver resting on the boat while observing animals in the sides of Sekonyer River.

In the afternoon it is very common to see groups of proboscis monkey and macaques in the treetops, jumping from one tree branch to another. Also, see if you can find crocodiles or lizards in the shallow waters on the sides of the river. Prepare for the sunset and enjoy the exquisite food prepared by our jungle crew. The boat is moored on the side of the river to spend the night.

Optional: Tonight, we can take a walk through the jungle to look for nocturnal animals such as snakes and tarantulas. If we are lucky, we can find luminescent mushrooms or tarsier monkeys as well.

Meals: Breakfast – Lunch – Dinner

AccommodationKlotok

DAY 3:PONDOK TANGGUY – CAMP LEAKEY       ▼

Today you will wake up with the sounds and the colours of the jungle. Without a doubt, you will never forget how you woke up on the river, surrounded by the overflowing nature.

Pondok Tangguy

After an extraordinary breakfast on board, we will arrive on time to visit Pondok Tangguy camp at the feeding time for animals (9AM). Little by little, you will see how the treetops begin to move and then you will see the silhouettes of the orangutans gradually reaching the feeding platform. Tangguy was a release camp for young orangutans that had been rehabilitated. It prevented them from moving away due to lack of food and ending up outside the national park, with the following risks of falling into traps of settlers or palm oil plantations. After the orangutans begin to leave the camp, you will return to the klotok to continue further upstream. 

You will witness how the colour of the river changes and you will have the opportunity to see crocodiles and large monitor lizards, along with Gibbons and proboscis monkeys. Of course, you will enjoy your lunch in this lovely setting.

Camp Leakey

You will arrive at Camp Leakey, the old orangutan rehabilitation centre. It was founded in 1971, when a student from UCLA University in Los Angeles named Birutte Galdikas, began studying the orangutans there. The name Camp Leakey came from Birutte’s own professor, paleo-anthropologist Louis Leakey. At least 200 orangutans have already been cured and returned to the jungle thanks to this centre. However, since 1995 the Indonesian government banned the introduction of more orangutans in this camp, so the orangutans are increasingly adapting to freedom. Today, this camp is used for behavioural and feeding research for orangutans. You can also visit the small museum built by the scientist Dr. Birutte Galdikas.

After finishing the observing of orangutans in this camp, we will do a gentle trekking through the jungle back to the boat to search for free orangutans and other animals, if the weather conditions permit. We will have the opportunity to learn a lot about the jungle from our local guides, of which some of them were born in the jungle. They’ll explain how to look for animals or plants, and you can listen to their experience of life in the jungle. The jungles of Borneo have given life and shelter to its inhabitants for million of years. They are jungles that under the watch of their ancestors are capable of fulfilling every single individual’s needs. Food, water, medicines, etc. But never throw anything in your mouth without your guide’s recommendation.

In the afternoon if it does not rain, the boat will be docked near a swarm of fireflies and you can enjoy the show of its luminescence.

Meals: Breakfast – Lunch – Dinner

DAY 4:KUMAI – PANGKALAN BUN – SEMARANG – BOROBUDUR – YOGYAKARTA       ▼

In the early morning, we will enjoy the last moments of the sounds of the jungle, before heading to the airport to catch the flight to Semarang. Arriving at Semarang Airport, our Javanese representative will be waiting for you to start the journey of about 4 hours to the city of Yogyakarta, a tourist destination for its ancient palaces, temples, batik workshops, gamelan music orchestras, court dances and wayang puppet shows. Your guide will take you to your hotel. Check in and rest of the day for you.

In 7th century, Yogyakarta was the center of the Mataram Buddhist kingdom, a prosperous reign, largely based on rice cultivation thanks to the region’s fertile volcanic soil. The various bas-reliefs of its temples show the daily life of that flourishing period. During this reign, the Borobudur Temple Temple was built, which was the largest Buddhist temple in the world.

Mysteriously, in the 10th century, the old Mataram Kingdom moved its central government. The old headquarters, with its palaces and magnificent temples, were abandoned and partially buried by the eruption of the Merapi volcano, and by the thicket of the jungle. Six hundred years later, the Mataram Sultanate was founded and established in the region, making Yogyakarta once again the center of government for the surrounding island.

DAY 5:BOROBUDUR TEMPLE - BATIK VILLAGE - MOUNT MERAPI       ▼

You will have your well-deserved breakfast at the hotel. Today’s tour will make you enjoy the authentic Javanese essence.

Borobudur Temple

You will start your route towards the Borobudur Temple, the great Stupa. It is the largest Buddhist monument in the world and one of the seven wonders. We will tour the temple, observing the hundreds and centuries-old Buddha statues and observing how dozens of Buddhists come to preach from all over the world. Historically it was made during the relatively brief Sailendra dynasty of Central Java between 778 and 856 BC and is under constant restoration due to the breaks that the tremors of the neighboring Merapi volcano have produced during its history.

Traditional Villages

After visiting one of the most important Buddhist temples in Southeast Asia, and in a traditional Javanese horse-drawn carriage called Andong, we will visit the villages that surround this temple. They are authentic Javanese villages where culture and tradition are the protagonists. We will visit some place where they produce the Keropok, (a type of crackers) or we will see some of the local people where they meet for ceremonies and can teach us some of their musical instruments and including the Batik process, a method of dyeing fabrics unique to that area. Batik has become the Indonesian official costume. As you spend your days in this country and go around the different islands, you will realize how different Indonesians are among them in terms of clothing, food, architecture and even language. Today it is time to learn and share the day with the villagers of Central Java.

Mount Merapi

Then we will go to Kaliurang/Kalidalem to see Mount Merapi in constant activity. Here in a 4×4 jeep driven by specialized drivers, we will climb up its skirt to see the remains of the 2010 eruption such as houses buried by ashes, a multitude of objects paralyzed by lava, etc. In addition, an open-air tribute museum chaired by the clock that marks the time just as the lava passed by it has been improvised. Accompanied by photos of the rescues, it will make us feel very closely the experiences of that fateful day. After this day of emotions, we will take you back to your hotel.

DAY 6:YOGYAKARTA CITY TOUR - PRAMBANAN TEMPLE       ▼

We will visit the Keraton known as the Sultan Palace. The palace is a complex building of two centuries old, located in the heart of the city. You will listen to the song of the “freedom” of the birds in the bird market, we will visit the Water Castle which occupies the highest part at the northern end of the vast complex of Taman Sari. Also, visit Malioboro Street, main street of Yogyakarta with its merchants, horse carts, bicycle taxis and markets. An incredible experience that will make the hours fly by.

Finishing the tour in the city center of Yogyakarta, we will go northeast towards Prambanan Temple, the temple of Hinduists and classified as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO since 1991. This temple was completed around the year 856 to commemorate the return of Shailendra dynasty of Central Java. Take your time to enjoy each carving on the rocks and feel the spirituality that each of the perched stones gives off in this set of more than 200 Hindu temples. They are dedicated to the Trimurti, the expression of God as the Creator, the Preserver and the destroyer. After this day that you will never forget, we will take you to your hotel.

It is located in the village of Mengwi which until 1891 was the seat of a powerful Gelgel Dynasty. It is going around in a pit that looks like a shrine garden, which explains the word taman that means garden.

Next, we will go to Jatiluwih to enjoy a beautiful view of rice terraces. Jatiluwih consists of two words, Jati and Luwih. Combined, it means ‘really beautiful’ which is no doubt since the views reflect that.

Next stop for lunch in a local restaurant with buffet style and then visit the Pura Ulun Danu Bratan. It is a famous temple which stands on a small promontory located on the shore of Lake Beratan. It owns the beautiful landscape with the lake and mountain as a backdrop view. Without a doubt, it is one of the most photogenic temples throughout Indonesia. This temple is dedicated to Dewi Danu, the goddess of water.

Tegallalang forms the three most spectacular tiered landscapes. The Tegallalang rice terraces alone offer a panoramic perspective that stretches before you and in the distance on the slopes of the valley. Good time to take some photos and enjoy the views!

Moving on, we go to Tirta Empul, a legendary setting for a traditional story about good versus evil. The Tirta Empul spring feeds several purification baths, pools and fish ponds that surround the outer perimeter, which flow into the Tukad Pakerisan River.

After that, we go towards Kehen Temple. It is an ancient Hindu temple complex boasting unique architectural features. The staircases reaching from the ground to temple courtyard are carved sandstone mythical animals and Balinese folklore figures staues and also the central vestibule. The temple’s walls are also ornate with Chinese porcelain plates, which are a tribute to the historical relations between the local Balinese kingdom and Chinese.

Our last stop will be Penglipuran village. It is a village that succeeded in preserving its 75-hectare bamboo forest located in the northern part of the village.
