An introduction to the
Fauna and Flora of Gunung Halimun National Park.
An introduction to such fauna and flora will take place in the Bogor
Botanical Gardens, but the length of the trip (9 days and 8 nights),
will afford plenty of opportunity to witness some spectacular wildlife
for yourself.
The relative isolation and lack of disturbance of Halimun National Park
might permit you to glimpse the Clouded Leopard (Neofelis nebulosa),
Javan Gibbon (Hylobates moloch), Grizzled leaf monkey (Presbytis comata),
Flying squirrels , Mouse deer (Tragulus javanicus) and Wild dogs (Cuon
alpinus), not to mention the diverse array of insect and bird life.
Also included in the trip is a chance to visit the local communities
of the North, East and South Halimun. The Kasepuhan Community in the
South will entertain you with the famous traditional wooden puppet wayang
golek and Sundanesse jaipongan dance.
Not for the light-hearted is a white-water rafting experience in the
south before returning to Jakarta.
The trip lasts 8 nights and 9 days.
