From Palangka Raya to here need around 30 minute, 28km. Borneo Orang Utan Survival Foundation stay here. So, if you lucky sometime we will can see if orang utan "naughty" out from school without permit to his/her teacher we can see at tree very near.

We can joint see how BOSF take rehabilitation for orang utan by film video only at saturday and monday at their nformation building. Free, but entrance to here we will had entrance parking fee 2 times.



Beside left of BOSF office we can find jungle track for go to jungle,but many jungle track not in good condition need carefully.
We can see to solar bear at BOSF office.

If you want to visit BOS in Nyaru Menteng, come in Saturday dan Sunday. And remember please that they are not for tourist attraction, so manage your hope to see them behind the glass. In spite of that I think it's good for our children to see and understand about Orangutan by visiting this place.

Carmelite Monastery







About 30 km from Palangkaraya, the capital city of Central Borneo, there is a Carmelite Monastery.
it was quite, far from the city, and peaceful. the nuns are very low profile. we can access the hill with walking through the stone path. dont forget the sunblock because the heat is strong enough to make sunburn, and not much trees on the top of the hill. bring your own foods and drinks. This place is clean, and has many trash can. we can buy some souvenir from the nun if you ring the bell.
They live in a quite good and clean place. In this area, there is a church, some rooms for meditation and a hill with 14 Stations of The Cross statues plus 2 additional statues.
This place is open for public, but specially for meditation and praying purposes.
There is no room service and no admission fee, but it's better to give donation for their lives.

The Old Church in Central Kalimantan







Swiss Protestant missionaries built this Church in 1807 with local people, who they had trained as carpenters.

Made in a traditional glass town in Germany, the magnificent stained glass window is one of only 2 in the world. The other one is in Brazil.

The carpentry school, located behind the Church, was established in 1946, when it was clear that the wood working skills of the people were of a very high standard, and could be developed even further by training. Working by traditional methods, this workshop produces high quality cabinets, tables and chairs for the local and export markets.
