Bukit Bangkirai a rainforest wonderland
Imagine an orchid forest with more than 45 different species including dancing and dragon scale varieties, sambas breeding deer, flying fox, short- and long-tailed macaque birds, wild boar and 40-meter-high, 150-year-old bangkirai trees.
A forestry student's dream come true and a native bird-watcher's paradise. And now it's accessible to those of us without hiking boots.
This is one of the world's most beautiful virgin conservation forests -- and it is at Jakarta's front door, in East Kalimantan.
It is the Bukit Bangkirai forest and conservation parkland, located in Samboja district, Kutai Kartanegara regency.
There are three roads that lead to this incredible 1,500-hectare wonderland as well as wide-ranging accommodation to suit just about anyone.
Bukit Bangkirai forest is internationally recognized yet still one of Indonesia's best kept tourism secrets.
