Tanjung Puting National Park

Tanjung Puting National Park covers over 415,040 hectares of tropical heath and peat swamp forest. Made famous by Dr. Birute Mary Galdikas and Camp Leakey, this sanctuary is home to thousands of wild and rehabilitated Bornean orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus), proboscis monkeys with prominent pendulous noses, gibbons, hornbills, and false gharials. Travel is done aboard private liveaboard klotoks where guests sleep beneath mosquito nets on the open upper deck, surrounded by the chorus of the rainforest and fireflies lighting up the riverbank nipa palms.
