ABOUT TANJUNG PUTING NATIONAL PARK

One among those Greatest destinations on Earth to see orangutans is Tanjung Puting National Park. At a beautiful setting in a wood boat, called"Klotok", you cruise throughout the jungle for several days.

The park has 3 places using unique heights of accessibility. Even the Nucleus Zone has turned into the most interior part of the park where most animals are and the many unique plants develop. This area is just accessible for research activities.

Buffer Zone

The Buffer Zone is basically the transition area in the inner Nucleus Zone into the outside Utilization Zone, in which only chosen paths are accessible for common people, which is why supervision by a ranger from your National Park is mandatory. We supply very long jungle treks with rangers in this part of the park with orangutan tour.

Utilization Zone

The Utilization Zone could be your outside area of Tanjung Puting National Park that visitors can access. Although almost all guests only observe this part of this National Park in their multi-day trip, the Utilization Zone only handles a small part of the National Park. Even the most famous websites of this zone are described below. The 3 Days/2 Nights tanjung puting tour is the most economical and most popular tour, throughout which you pay a visit to all 3 orangutan feeding stations.

Tanjung Harapan

Tanjung Harapan has historically been a site of the Sekonyer Village, while today it's a ranger's post and an orangutan rehabilitation center. The feeding takes place at 3pm, and therefore this site is seen already on the very first day of this tanjung puting tour. As it takes 3-4 hrs to become from Pangkalan Bun to Tanjung Harapan, traffic need to arrive before 11:30 am at the airport at Pangkalan Bun in order to do visit this site.

Pondok Tanggui has been a relatively new rehabilitation centre for orangutans. That really is also a popular place to start drifting into the jungle. The feeding at Pondok Tanggui starts at 9am.

Camp Leaky is a global famous research facility set up in 1971 by Louis Leakey and is also actually the single reason behind the thriving preservation of orangutans at Tanjung Puting National Park. Louis Leakey was the teacher of a couple younger primatologists, amongst whom were Jane Goodall and Dian Fossey who proceeded onto become known worldwide because of his or her research on chimpanzees and gorillas, respectively. Another pupil, Birute Galdikas, is currently the president of this Orangutan Foundation International. The feeding at Camp Leaky starts at 2 pm.

You will find several different internet sites of interest that you just may see. Camp Pesalat can be a reforestation web page that has been of dispensable value for the park after the fires in 2015. You can plant your own tree here for a donation, although this really is also a superior starting/ending point-of a lengthier jungle trek. Even the Sekonyer Village Is the Sole local village around Tanjung Puting National Park. The Palm Oil Factory is sadly one among the main economic driver of this local community, and you might take a look at how these factory performs.
