Indonesien (Borneo), Kalimantan: Tanjung Puting National Park
Tanjung Puting is covered by a complex mosaic of diverse lowland habitats. It contains 3,040 sq km2 of low lying swampy terrain punctuated by blackwater rivers which flow into the Java Sea. Tanjung Puting sits on a peninsula that juts out into the Java Sea. The peninsula is low lying and swampy with a spine of dry ground which rises a few feet above the omnipresent swamp. Towards the north of Tanjung Puting is characterized by gentle hills and gold-bearing alluvial plains. Maps of the region commonly portray a ridge of mountains coming down into Tanjung Puting. This ridge does not exist, in fact, nowhere does the altitude rise above 100 feet in Tanjung Puting. Although Tanjung Puting has suffered some encroachment from human activity, the Park area is still wild and pristine.

Unterkunftsmöglichkeiten und Anfahrt, Hinweis auf "Natai Lengkuas" als Basis für Wanderungen in den Regenwald: http://www.eaga.org.bn/eaga/forestry...ing/Puting.htm
... allerdings auch mit andauernden Hinweisen, dass man mit dem Schnellboot fahren könne:

NATAI LENGKUAS
It located in Sekoyer riverside, left side to the north side. Orang-utan, Bekantan, and other primate type are also met in this area. Recreation in open nature like hiking that passes the tropical rainforest is very compatible area, while the footpath have been provided.

Natai Lengkuas

Established in the 1970’s as a guard post. Natai Lengkuas is located on the boundary of the park, some 45 minutes (by klotok) upstream from where the right branch of the Sekonyer River leads to Camp Leakey.

Recently, Natai Lengkuas was burned down by loggers under suspicious circumstances. Carey Yeager, who had dedicated her research to the proboscis monkey was chased out of her research site together with all her staff.

Before, this area supported a proboscis monkey (or Bekantan) research project. Bekantan sometimes sleep in relatively large groups along the river at night. Visitors travelling the river from about 4pm to dusk may often see and hear them. Natai Lengkuas area had a series of trails used for research purposes. However, visitors could only use some of these trails for recreation activities. Like Camp Leakey, Natai Lengkuas is (was) a Special Utilisation Zone where visitors can visit and do some activities but can not stay overnight.

There is a riverside lodge across the river near Tanjung Harapan . This place allow you to have a nice sleep and good wash for the whole days. The river side has a very nice surrounding with the forest background , a lot of faunas to see and observe too. You will get additional charge based on the type of the accommodation you choose in the lodge if you decide to stay here.
=Erste Station innerhalb des Parks, eine Orang Utan-Rehabilitation-station - oder so ähnlich: At Tanjung Harapan, the first station you can visit the information center and learn a little more about the rehabilitation program running within the Tanjung Puting National Park. Since the orangutans have been recognized as a flagship species to the park the Friends of the National Park Foundation have sponsored veterinary action. The FNPF is supported entirely by donations from visitors to the park and travel companies operating tours within the region. Thanks to their help and the help of organisations like Trekforce, who donated time into building the information center, you will find many people interested in this amazingly unique environment; one of the only remaining natural habitats for the orangutans. Take that little journey up the winding Sungai Seytonyer into the Eden of Tanjung Puting - you will never forget it.

A tower like a building has been built here so if you come to the building, you can see the whole area of the preservation. There are some building where the security guards stay. Staying here impresses people that they are immersed in natural forest.

Tanjung Puting National Park
The 400,000 ha Tanjung Puting National Park is located in the south-western part of Central Kalimantan Province and is Kalimantan's most famous national park. Tanjung Puting is listed as a Man And the Biosphere (MAB) Reserve.

Tanjung Puting National Park occupies most of the peninsula between Teluk Kumai and the Seruyan River and offers a varied natural landscape ranging from peat and freshwater swamp forests to lowland tropical rainforests and heath forests. Mangroves are confined to a small belt along the coastal peninsular while the sandy beaches have a typical flora consisting of Casuarina, Pandanus, Barringtonia, Podocarpus and Scaevola trees. The park is drained by several so-called black water rivers radiating from the northern and eastern parts.

Tanjung Puting National Park owes its fame to two primates: the Orangutan and the endemic Proboscis monkey. At Tanjung Harapan, Pondok Tangui, and Camp Leakey orangutans are rehabilitated and returned to the wild. Camp Leakey is also a research station dedicated to research on orangutans. Natai Lengkuas Research Station, the other research site in the park, is located at the southeast bank of Sungai Sekonyer and focuses on Proboscis monkeys, vegetation ecology, and forest restoration. Both centres can be visited.

Unfortunately, Tanjung Puting has recently been invaded by illegal loggers and gold miners. Two environmental activists have been severely beaten. The two were investigating the illegal deforestation by P.T. Tanjung Lingga, a logging company owned by an Indonesian MP, whom has been identified as Abdul Rasyid. In April 2000 illegal loggers burned down the National Park office in Kumai. The situation has slightly improved recently but illegal logging and gold mining continues.

Access:
To get to Tanjung Puting National Park you need time or money. First you have to go to Pangkalanbuun which can be reached in several ways:

If you have money but no time go by plane. There are flights to Pangkalanbuun from Jakarta, Bandung and Semarang on Java and from Palangkaraya, Banjarmasin, Sampit, Pontianak and Ketapang on Kalimantan. There are taxi's from the airport or alternatively walk to the highway and take the minibus to Pangkalanbuun.

If you have time but no money and you're already on Kalimantan you have two choices:

From Palangkaraya take a bus to Pangkalanbuun. This journey can take a lot of time. Normally it takes about 8 hours but during the wet season it's sometimes impossible to make the trip at all.

From Banjarmasin take a boat to Sampit. In Sampit you can board the Palangkaraya-Pangkalanbuun bus, if it runs.

From Pangkalanbuun it's pretty straight forward:

1. Register at the local police office and the new National Park office. Bring two copies of your passport.
2. Take a taxi or minibus to Kumai (1 hour).
3. Take the public boat to kampung Tanjung Harapan, or hire a klotok.
Transport through the park is by boat. At the Camp Leakey camp you can hire a PKA guide and explore the park.

Accommodation:

Kumai

Losmen Kumara
Losmen Cempaka

Tanjung Harapan

Rimba Hotel
Sekonyer Ecolodge
Wisma Tamu

Or sleep at the hired klotok.

A Klotok on the River to Rimba Lodge:

Achtung:
Tanjung Puting National Park can now only be visited with an expensive chartered boat, and overnighting and hiking inside are forbidden. The main attraction will be the chance to watch tame orangutans being fed, with practically no chance of seeing wild ones. Visit one or more of Kalimantan's other national parks, where you are free to explore the forest on trails and can see wild orangutans instead of tamed ones. Gunung Palung, Kutai and Betung Kerihun NPs are all good alternatives.
