Access to Kayan Mentarang
National Park
Kayan Mentarang National Park is very remote, good preperation in
advance to bring a visit to this part as the heart of Borneo is
recommended, some public flights on the Samarinda-Long Ampung and
Tarakan-Long Bawan
routes, or by public riverboats following the Tarakan-Tanjung
Selor-Long Pujungan route bring you in to the Kayan Mentarang National
Park. To access the southern part of the Park,
visitors can fly from Samarinda or Malinau to Long Ampung. From Long
Ampung head for Data Dian ( 5 hour journey by motor boat
). MAF (Mission Aviation Fellowship) has
flights, However, MAF and the public airlines require
advanced booking (minimum 1
month before departing date),and reserve the authority to
prioritize seats for local citizens from around the Park - so outside
visitors often find themselves stranded even after numerous seat
reconfirmations. It is good to bring luggage less than 10 kg in weight
when flying ( limits each persons weight - including
luggage - at 80 kg). This makes it more flexible to secure a seat on
board on last minute seat availability. MAF puts even more restrictions
on luggage weight (up to 10 kg/person) on regular flights unless
chartered.

Kayan Mentarang
National
Park
Kayan Mentarang National Park covers an area of 1,600,000 ha
and is located in the far interior of East Kalimantan province. The
park comprises the largest remaining block of rainforest in Borneo and
as such forms a very important refuge for numerous species, including
many species that are endemic to the Bornean mountain bioregion. About
half of the reserve consists of species-rich dipterocarp lowland and
hill forest while mountain forest ranges up to Kayan Mentarang's
highest mountain at 2,000 m. 40 Percent of the park has an elevation
above 1,000 m. The park is inhabitated by several thousand Dayak and
Punan people who live from shifting cultivation and rice farming.
Wildlife is hard to see due to hunting by native Dayaks. WWF has been
working on developing eco-tourist projects in cooperation with the
local people. It has 5 field-offices in settlements around the park,
which are helpful for information. It also has a research station at
Long Alango, north of Long Pujungan, which can be visited, and is
probably the best place to see wildlife.
Accommodation
Some Guesthouses can be found in several villages of Kayan
Mentarang, but it' s worth to stay in the
many Dayak settlements inside the park. |
Kayan River Trips
into the Heart of Kayan Mentarang
Kayan
River streams down from Kayan Mentarang National Park at Indonesia
Borneo Island. Kayan Mentarang has a wealth of
ecological and cultural treasures that
survive deep within the rainforest jungle of the hearth of Borneo as
Indonesia ’s
largest island. Kalimantan ’s dense jungle and wide
terrain of wetlands have traditionally kept the region isolated from
all but the adventurous travelers, and along the upper reaches of
the rivers, you can discover the rich rain forest and
traditional living Dayak tribes. The
indigenous
Dayak settlements along the Kayan River of Kalimantan is an
ideal
way
to
experience the incredible culture, where village elders practice
traditional medicine and mark their status with intricate body tattoos
and remarkably heavy ear adornments, we will be warmly
welcomed guests in their villages. At Kayan Mentarang you can
enjoy a sightful experience of traditional culture and grand
diversity of exotic flora and wildlife from black orchids to
orangutans, and venture ashore for captivating
jungle explorations. |
