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.

From the outside, Goa Temuluang unattractive. Mouth of the cave full of shrubs. To achieve it also must pass the path. That is why the cave near the village of Bangkalaan Dayak, District Kelumpang Hulu, Kotabaru District, South Kalimantan, was not a famous tourist attraction. 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. According to residents, the length Temuluang reach four miles, three miles of them in the form of river channel width of about six meters in about three meters. To down Temuluang not enough on foot. Visitors also need to motorized boats, ie boats outboard motor. In South Kalimantan (Kalimantan) is expected under such conditions only exist in Goa Temuluang. So far in introducing tourism in South cave which was mentioned only Goa Batu Hapu, windy, Mandala, Bats, Cafeteria Liang, Liang hadangan, Stone Benawa, and Sugong. Temuluang Goa is never mentioned.
