TANJUNG PUTING NATIONAL PARK

Tanjung Puting National Park is an internationally famous


ecotourism destination, which is located in the southwest of Central
Kalimantan peninsula. Visitors from foreign countries come to this park
because of its amazing nature. This is called a park, but unlike any park
that you have seen in your city, this is a jungle! It is a real jungle, which is
home to the most interesting animal in the world: orangutans.
Though the park is home to many animals, seeing orangutans is
usually the visitors’ main reason to visit the park. Orangutans, which
literally mean the man of the forest, are the largest arboreal animal on the
planet. Most of their lives are spent in trees where orangutans travel from
branch to branch by climbing or swinging with their long arms.
To see orangutans, we should go to Camp Leakey, which is
located in the heart of Tanjung Puting National Park. Camp Leakey is are
habilitation place for ex-captive orang utans and also a preservation site. It
is also a famous center for research about orangutans which has been
conducted by the famous primatologist Dr. Birute Galdikas since 1971.
Here visitors can see daily feedings to orangutans at jungle platforms as
part of the rehabilitation process to their natural habitat. This event gives
them opportunity to see orangutans up close.
To reach the place, we should take a boat down Sekonyer river.
The boat is popularly called perahu klotok which is a boathouse that can
accommodate four people. The trip by the boat to Camp Leakey takes
three days and two nights. You sleep, cook, and eat in that klotok, night
and day during your journey into the jungle. The traveling in the boat
offers an unforgettable experience. In daylight, on your way to Camp
Leakey, you can see trees filled with proboscis monkeys ,monkeys that
have enormous snout which can only be found in Kalimantan. The
monkeys anxiously await klotok arrivals. A troop of 30 light-brown
monkeys may plunge from branches 10 meters or higher into the river and
cross directly in front of the boat. These monkeys know that the boat’s
engine noise and the threat of its propeller scare crocodiles, which find
these chubby monkeys delicious. At night, you can enjoy the clear sky and
the amazingly bright stars as the only lights for the night.
With such exotic nature, no wonder many tourists from foreign
countries who love ecotourism frequently visit Tanjung Puting National
Park. What about you?
