Travelling in the "Riam Kanan" Reservoir

Beauty face again I met in the archipelago in Villages Aranio Kalsel.Tepatnya Banjar.Nama District tourist attraction that I visited this time was Riam Kanan Reservoir. How can I not stunned, if there are so many interesting objects that love to not be enjoyed. Especially not immortalized by the camera. This time I am not alone. There are 11 of my friends go adventuring in Riam Right. Our trip started from Banjarmasin around at 7 pm in the morning is very sunny week.

The first town we passed the roundabout intersection Banjarbaru.Di four, we point the bike toward the village's roundabout Aranio.Dari distance we had traveled about 25 kilometers.

Steep hills on both sides of the road more beautiful scenery. Expanse of verdant rice fields and villages that look earthy villagers increasingly pamper our eyes are bored with the life we see the streets deserted perkotaan.Sesekali winding beneath the trees on the edge jalan.Sungguh a delicious sensation to us that every day just to try out street Banjarmasin the crowded vehicle speed.

For those who have never been to Riam Right, maybe 25 kilometers mileage that is passed will be felt lama.Tapi for me who do like the journey overland and by chance I've been to Riam Right, it's mileage is not too lama.Justru I really enjoyed the trip.

Arrive at the Right Riam we have to pay money signed by Rp. 1500 per motorcycle. Very cheap when compared with what we were going to later.

After parking the vehicle, we then visited the place selling the fish from the aquaculture community. In Banjarmasin puyau fish is sold at Rp 20 thousands, here the only valued USD 10 thousand to 1 kilogram.Benar really cheap and much more fresh.

Satisfied to see the sale and purchase transaction between the fishermen and fish traders, we then headed to the port that the ship encountered there many (klotok) of medium size.
With klotok that we will enjoy the charm of Riam Kanan. The rental price we pay is Rp 100 ribu.Karena goals we will travel is the second Pine Island (Pine Island farther than the first).

As above klotok Right Riam charm that drove really exotic. A verdant expanse of water reservoirs, hills of beautiful, blue sky and dozens houseboat is a package offered Riam Right that can be seen from the klotok.

Occasionally seen motorized dinghy speeding over the extent of the reservoir cascade Kanan.Biasanya they bring the fish to be sold into the market. How good their lives, because they live in a place that is so natural.
Finally, travel about 30 minutes to Pine Island both ends. I think I can not wait to explore every corner of the interesting things there. Long bridge which divides the reservoir is one of the objects that attracted my attention immediately membidikan camera. Other interesting objects are crowded hundreds of towering pine trees in the middle of the reservoir.

It was an unforgettable experience, travel with a dozen friends who are also tired of the routine kerja.Saya sure dozens of other tourists I met in Riam Kanan also felt the same as what we experienced.

However, the impression on Temuluang had been able to change so we followed it. In the cave there is a horizontal flow of the river in a dark alley.

Still from the rest of the way from the floating market, in addition to trying soto floating banjo sold well. We can also visit a place that is no less unique than floating market itself. Right in the middle of the Barito river, there is also land called the island and is known for its name with Kembang Island.
Why is called the Flower Island, which is reputedly the island said the delta of the Barito river is just a pile of ordinary soil and long growing continues with more and more land and then overgrown with vegetation so that continues to grow, so the name of the delta has become Kembang Island.
The island is overgrown with vegetation typical of Borneo, and is currently inhabited by a herd of monkeys including the type of long-tailed macaque monkeys alias. And in the middle of the island he said there is also a king with a larger body. On the island of administrative regions including the District of Barito Kuala, South Kalimantan have a place for worship for the ethnic Chinese, where there is a place of worship with a replica of the white monkey / Hanuman.
To reach the island is not very difficult let alone have previously visited the floating market, the island is already visible when we will go to the market. And after visiting the Floating Market boats usually have to offer if we are interested to Flower Island or not, or if not offered enough to have jukungnya asked whether they could continue the journey to the Island of Flowers.
And before leaning in island Flower small items should be hidden inside the bag and held it tightly both glasses, hats, watches, cameras, because if not, would dicolong by these monkeys. And it should prepare snacks to be given to a flock of monkeys. The monkeys here are very aggressive, it could be because they are starving .... And if the monkey should not be afraid to lean or close to the pier, because it would be hysterical to see a very aggressive monkey-agresify who climbed into boats, enough to see from far-away only how monkeys behave.
