Mangkok & the Sebangau National Park


Accessing this relatively recently declared wild orangutan National Park, although close to the provincial capital of Palangka Raya, is a challenge through the dense and peaty forest, however, the rewards may be high. Sightings of shy wild orangutans, colourful birds, amazing black water reflections on the lakes and the unusual vegetation are likely. Entering the area along the Lempanen Canal, cutting through the emerald green forest, is a trip by local canoe that will take about 1.5 hours. We work with local villagers to provide this service. Stroll along the boardwalks at the information centre, or else jump off and take an adventurous trek through the forest.
Borneo Beckons! Join us on Wow Borneo Orangutan and Dayak Village Cruises for this experience.
