Tranquil Jungle View from Mount Tangkiling

Mount Tangkiling, located in the Rungan District along the Rungan River near Palangkaraya, is home to many endangered animals. This area includes Orangutans on Orangutan Island, which consists of Kaja Island and Bepalas Island. The rainforest around Tangkiling Mountain is a habitat for wildlife such as clouded leopards, gibbons, langurs, leaf monkeys, macaque monkeys, and various endemic bird species like gliding fish eagles and Borneo hornbills. The traditional Dayak culture along the Kahayan River and its side rivers, including the Katingan River and the Rungan River, with its thick jungle, makes Mount Tangkiling a great place for adventurous travelers to visit.

Danau Tahai is a blackwater lake situated in the lush jungle near Mount Tangkiling. Climbing the mountain offers views of an emerald forest that stretches towards the river system and wetlands.

The Nyaru Menteng Borneo Orangutan Survival Rehabilitation Center can be visited upon request. It's a great place to learn about efforts to protect the rainforest and rehabilitate orangutan wildlife.
