Hunting trips & Photo Riam Kanan Reservoir South Kalimantan

Pulchritude face again I met in the archipelago in Villages Aranio Kalsel.Tepatnya Banjar.Nama District as a tourist attraction that I visited this time was not my Kanan.Bagaimana Riam Reservoir fascinated, if there are so many interesting objects which unfortunately for not dinikmati.Apalagi not perpetuated through camera.
This time I did not sendiri.Ada 11 people joined a friend in Riam Kanan.Perjalanan adventure we started from Banjarmasin around 7 o'clock in the morning Wita cerah.Kota the very first week we passed the roundabout intersection Banjarbaru.Di four, we point the bike towards Aranio.Dari village roundabout that the distance that we had traveled about 25 miles.
Steep hills on both sides of the road add pemandangan.Hamparan beautiful green fields and settlements unsophisticated villagers who looks increasingly pamper our eyes perkotaan.Sesekali bored with life that we see the empty streets meandering beneath the trees at the edge jalan.Sungguh a delicious sensation to us that every day just trying on a crowded street Banjarmasin vehicle speed.
For those who have never been to Riam Right, maybe 25 miles the mileage will be felt lama.Tapi passed to me that you really like the journey overland and by chance I've ever been to Riam Right, I think the distance is not too lama.Justru I really enjoyed the trip.
Arrive at the Right Riam we have to pay money into Rp. 1500 per bike motor.Sangat cheap when compared with what we can nantinya.Setelah parked the vehicle, we then visited the places selling fish from the fish farming community Banjarmasin sekitar.Di puyau sold for Rp 20 thousands, here the only valued USD 10 thousand for a kilogram.Benar really cheap and much better

Heaven is often forgotten wanderer

Surga pengelana yang sering terlupakan

Just imagine the largest archipelago in the world to save hundreds of tribes and cultures of the world's most diverse, global divers paradise which also saves a lot of active volcanoes. I was so beautiful and breadth could take many months to enjoy the paradise on this one
For the wanderer, the road enthusiast, it's heaven because:
1. World's most diverse cultural paradise
Ever seen Asian culture summed up in one country, this is the place. With hundreds of tribal cultural diversity spread a lot of interesting here
When the opening of the Beijing Olympics, looks about 55 people representing ethnic child who is in China, the country with the largest population in the world. China has the largest population universe only has no more than 60 ethnic groups, here there are more than 300 different ethnic and racial backgrounds. Ah, where again there are hundreds of different ethnicities and cultures and different religions coexist.
Perhaps this is one reason that antropologist Ann Dunham, mother of President Obama is interested in the diversity of this country. About diversity, it was confused also saw the founding father of the nation could unite this country are very diverse. So remember well as travel stories Augustine Wibowo about a striking and painful differences from Pakistan and India, which he saw as he traveled across India and Pakistan
Maybe the Guinness Book of World Recorld need this record the diversity of the world's largest in terms of the original tribe. I experienced culture shock when moving a residence in different cities and islands, do not believe me? Just try to move in and enjoy the beauty of the local culture. It was when there was a parade with a display of cultural diversity among nations in one nation, we already know who the winner
Of Asian ethnicity who live with a neighbor country digencarkan one who claimed "Truly Asia" can even be found in Medan. There are rivets that keep the village Hindu temple and Indian traditions are still alive, Sino residents can still speak the ancestral language, Javanese people who still speak Javanese and Malays have palaces in the city. Unfortunately not many people realize and there are not neatly arranged tours.
For culture lovers wandering, this is paradise, just understand the enthusiast road are usually happy with one culture and cultural exoticism. For tourism advertising, the slogan "The World's Richest Cultural Diversity" could be a slogan that is truly "Truly Asia" hehehehe

Sawarna: a relieving treat, a challenging trip, a great getaway.

Ciantir beach, Sawarna, Banten

Nature is so kind. Any conservation effort we do can not complement what nature has given to us. Yet, any little damage we make brings big loss to nature, to us, human race. Now think!

Some of my friends thought Sawarna as a hidden paradise unknown to most travelers. Its remote location holds this nature gem away from tourist heyday. Most of its spots are difficult to reach, making it possible for you to be the first human being (OK, tourist) to mark your foot prints.

I even called a lagoon with my name, just because our local guide recalled no tourists ever reached it.

Sawarna is a sleepy and quiet village. It’s by no means a fishing village, even though it is only few hundreds meter from the beach. Villagers are mostly farmers, raising their crops in small patches in their hilly backyards. Yet, few villagers make their life (or foods) from the sea – not much, but enough to see any fishing activities to keep away your curiosity.

The trip to Sawarna began at Ciantir beach. To reach this secluded beach, you have to cross a river on a dangerous wooden bridge that sways ten times harder then any move you make. Surviving from the lethal bridge, then find your track inside the village and the farm yard. You may not get lost, as long as you can still hear the ocean wave thumps stronger and stronger.

The beach is really heaven for those who want nothing but the nature and themselves. That says; bring your own properties if you want to spend a little longer here. Don’t bother to find warung or snack stalls here.

You can rest your painful feet and sore body after a long walk in some wooden huts, but that’s all; they won’t keep you away from the strong night wind. Bring your tent to have a comfortable – in Sawarna standard – night sleep.

If you’re awake in the night, get out and look above. You may be excused to think that you’re on a top of the highest mountain for seeing massive stars above your head and finally think that you’re nothing in this universe.

Back to the beach, if you walk your feet to the right (west in map), you will find a river-cum-lake by the beach. It’s actually a natural water reserve made by the ocean waters flowing into the land and locked. It’s not deep, less than your thigh, but will make a good mirror for any objects beyond. Get your camera ready.

Our direction was to the left, where unidentifiable spots will potentially be found. It’s not an easy track but not the most difficult either. Lots of water, glucose-high snacks and comfortable waterproof shoes should make you a natural trekker here. (Did I mention shades and headwear to make you a stylish trekker?)
