Komodo National Park is located in the center of the Indonesian archipelago, between the islands of Sumbawa and Flores. Established in 1980, initially the main purpose of the Park was to conserve the unique Komodo dragon (Varanus komodoensis) and its habitat. However, over the years, the goals for the Park have expanded to protecting its entire biodiversity, both terrestrial and marine. In 1986, the Park was declared a World Heritage Site and a Man and Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO, both indications of the Park's biological importance.<br />
<br />
Komodo National Park includes three major islands: Komodo, Rinca and Padar, as well as numerous smaller islands creating a total surface area (marine and land) of 1817km (proposed extensions would bring the total surface area up to 2,321km2). As well as being home to the Komodo dragon, the Park provides refuge for many other notable terrestrial species such as the orange-footed scrub fowl, an endemic rat, and the Timor deer. Moreover, the Park includes one of the richest marine environments including coral reefs, mangroves, seagrass beds, seamounts, and semi-enclosed bays. These habitats harbor more than 1,000 species of fish, some 260 species of reef-building coral, and 70 species of sponges. Dugong, sharks, manta rays, at least 14 species of whales, dolphins, and sea turtles also make Komodo National Park their home.<br />
<br />
<br />
Threats to terrestrial biodiversity include the increasing pressure on forest cover and water resources as the local human population has increased 800% over the past 60 years. In addition, the Timor deer population, the preferred prey source for the endangered Komodo dragon, is still being poached. Destructive fishing practices such as dynamite-, cyanide, and compressor fishing severely threaten the Park's marine resources by destroying both the habitat (coral reefs) and the resource itself (fish and invertebrate stocks). The present situation in the Park is characterized by reduced but continuing destructive fishing practices primarily by immigrant fishers, and high pressure on demersal stocks like lobsters, shellfish, groupers and napoleon wrasse. Pollution inputs, ranging from raw sewage to chemicals, are increasing and may pose a major threat in the future.<br />
<br />
Today, the PKA Balai Taman Nasional Komodo and PT. Putri Naga Komodo are working together to protect the Park's vast resources. Our goals are to protect the Park's biodiversity (both marine and terrestrial) and the breeding stocks of commercial fishes for replenishment of surrounding fishing grounds. The main challenge is to reduce both threats to the resources and conflicts between incompatible activities. Both parties have a long term commitment to protecting the marine biodiversity of Komodo National Park.kaniamazdarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02106634968442194702noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3239853597186243938.post-82892775912927671832011-09-07T21:17:00.000-07:002011-09-07T21:17:00.691-07:00Bunaken ferry<object height="355" width="425"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/uBao8nR5rpk?fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/uBao8nR5rpk?fs=1&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="355" allowfullscreen="true"></embed> </object><br />

Ketapang, an Indonesian hidden gem, is located just south of Pontianak, the capital of West Kalimantan. I was personally delighted to visit Ketapang last Christmas and my visit brought back many sweet memories. As you may not know, I was born in Ketapang but my family moved to Jakarta when I was just 1 year old. So, to be able to visit the place where I was born was a fantastic experience. And I can tell you for sure that Ketapang is worth the visit.<br />
There are two ways to get to Ketapang: by air or by sea. Supadio airport in Pontianak serves weekly flights to Ketapang. Or, if you prefer, you can also take an express boat, which is considerably a longer trip. One thing that I first noticed when I arrived in Ketapang was that there were many swallow birds flying freely. Harvesting Swallow's nest (a Chinese cuisine delicacy) is a very popular business here. <br />
So, if you are an aggressive businessman who likes to seize every opportunity, visiting Ketapang can be worthwhile.<br />
The highlight of my trip was "Pagatimun," a hidden beach that offers tranquility & solitude. The beach is approximately 1.2 hours drive from Ketapang. It goes deep to an area that is hardly touched by tourists or travelers, even the locals themselves. The sound of the waves breaking was as calming as the sound of stars above. Pagatimun offers serenity that you may not find anywhere in the world.<br />
On my way back from Ketapang, I decided to stay for a couple of days in Pontianak. Pontianak, "Kota Khatulistiwa" or Equator City, is the place to visit to experience wonderful culinary creations. It is called "Kota Khatulistiwa" because the city is located precisely on the equator line. <br />
Many travelers transit here before their long journey deep into jungles of Kalimantan via the Kapuas River. There are, however, many other attractions here that you may want to explore. Places to visit and attractions in Pontianak are coming soon as we launch our informativesite.<br />
Interesting fact<br />
The name "Pontianak" comes from a folklore. It is said that Pontianak means "pregnant with child" and she was the ghost that haunted the first group who arrived in the uninhabited area of Pontianak.kaniamazdarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02106634968442194702noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3239853597186243938.post-75197303069614157492011-09-07T21:13:00.002-07:002011-09-07T21:13:51.160-07:00Eating out in Bali, Travel Video Guide<object height="355" width="425"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ofxrYYuVJSQ?fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ofxrYYuVJSQ?fs=1&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="355" allowfullscreen="true"></embed> </object><br />
I wander the narrow lanes away from the tourist strip restaurants of Kuta to find meals half the price. I order a Nasi Goreng (fried rice) and Mango Juice which cost me less than AUD. I speak with owner Dewik about meal options for vegetarians. Thanks to Dewik of Sapo Laish 1, Jl. Batu Pageh Legian Kelot, Kuta<br />

I discuss the two types of massages available in Bali. It is important for men in particular to be aware of this so as not to lead to misunderstanding. There is a traditional massage which one can usually get in beauty salons, and there is the complete massage, which usually finishes with a happy ending! These complete massages are usually offered by women not working in beauty salons, but just working the street, renting a small room. The cost of a traditional massage is very reasonable, about -5 AUD for an hour. The cost for a happy ending massage you will have to investigate yourself!<br />

At the Kima Bajo resort near the Bunaken Marine Park outside Manado on Sulawesi in Indonesia. Every day when we came down to the beach to see the sunset it was a surreal experience. Besides most of the sunset being spectacular (this one was kind of tame compared to others) with brilliant colors, a volcano rising from the sea in the distance (Manado Tua), just a few fishing boats in the bay going out for their nightly catch, there was also the hypnotic chanting blaring from louspeakers at the mosque in the nearby village. Really a gorgeous and trippy experience every evening.<br />

I plan on filming a night out in the Kuta Beach tourism precinct but instead meet some Australians running a local bar and settle in to learn about visa requirements for expats. Australians over 65 get a special 12 month visa which means many stay in Bali in order to stretch the value of their pensions. I also film the common Kuta species, Australis Drunkis Yobbois, which flys to bali from Australia in large packs in the summer months. It is known for it's loud call and colorful tattoo plumage.

Sewu Temple is the second largest Buddhist temple in Central Java after Borobudur and one of the best pieces of ancient Javanese architecture in the world. For more info on Sewu, Indonesia, visit: www.worldsiteguides.com "..Unknown to many is that the history of Sewu Temple is closely associated with the locally famous legend of "Loro Jonggrang". The legend tells the story about two ancient and neighboring kingdoms in Java, Pengging and Boko. The two kingdoms raged war against each other and after a series of devastating battles, Pengging came out victorious. In the last battle, the Pengging Prince, filled with supernatural powers, defeated the enemy king.

The charming Kraton Ratu Boko is different compared to many other heritage sites around Java. This place is more like a ruin than any other surrounding temples. For more info on Kraton Raut Boko, Indonesia, visit: www.worldsiteguides.com "..Kraton Ratu Boku was build during the reign of a descendant of the Sailendra dynasty -- one of the most powerful kingdoms on ancient Java. Exactly when the Ratu Boko was built is difficult to say, as the ancient Javanese didn't write any formal documentation. However, inscriptions mention Ratu Boko being occupied as early as in the 8th century. The exact purpose of Ratu Boko is also hard to say. Some different theories have evolved, the most recognized one being that Ratu Boko was in fact a fortified monastery."

I had to pay the full fare to Jakarta which was 440000. Was in executive class and was problem free. The AC in Indonesia is very different than in Malaysia. I found the AC in buses and boats to be at the freezing mark in Malaysia whereas in Indonesia they seem to keep them so that they are still blowing warm air!!!!! Relying on Lonely Planet, I took a taxi from the train station to Hotel Surya (Jl Imam Bonjol 28 Tel: 3540355) in Semarang. The room seemed fine and more or less clean!!! (Everything clean except the walls!!) and the price for a deluxe (not really deluxe but bigger window!!!) is 280 incl. breakfast. Again because it seemed reasonable I took it, put my luggage in the room and then went out exploring the old City of Semarang. Right beside Johar Pasar (Traditional market of Semarang) I stopped at the Metro Hotel (JL Hai Agus Salim 2-4 (www.metrohotel.co.id) e-mail metrohtl@indo.net.id and I was quite impressed with both the room and the price .

Entry from: Jakarta, Indonesia Entry Title: "Somewhere between Bandung and Jakarta" Entry: "I'm in the car with Marty and Hogi right now, watching the scenery pass from banana fields to dried hillsides to drive thru KFC and Starbucks. Indonesia is a country of contrasts. Extreme poverty, unbelievably wealthy, rice fields next to golf courses. I am enthralled, truly. So the first thing everyone talks about is the traffic. It's supposedly some of the worst in the world, but the week we flew in marked the end of the holy month so everyone, and I mean everyone, went on vacation. Traffic was almost non-existent. It should be back to normal crazy next week. Since the traffic was so light, our friend Cynthia organized a tour with her friend Amir who is a local historian. Early, the first morning we met our guide and Cynthia's sister and friends at Starbucks for a little breakfast, then we were off. First stop was the fish market, a dizzying maze of shacks and ramshackle "piers" and "docks" with people selling everything from musical instruments to wire to dried fish and even a lizard. As you would expect, there were cats everywhere napping in the sun or hiding in the shadows. Men were lazily lounging in the heat. A pudgy little baby was giggling in his brother's hands.

by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/31190896@N08/6071433966">eGuide Travel</a></div>Any activity done in the right surrounding gives the utmost benefit. If you are studying, you can concentrate only if the surrounding is peaceful. Imagine studying in a cafeteria or restaurant. It’s difficult, isn’t it?? Similarly when it comes to exercise, it also has to be in appropriate surroundings for utmost benefits. For practices such as yoga this is paramount. Yoga retreats are typically in a calm, serene and blissful environment so that you derive the utmost benefit from the activity. Retreats in Bali offer just such an experience. They take full advantage of very beautiful green surroundings and natural scenic beauty that calms the body and the soul.<br />
Bali is in Indonesia, amidst a set of islands, with lush greenery and tropical beauty. It is well know for its cultural diversity and spirituality. All this make Bali the ideal destination for yoga. <br />
The majority of population is Hindu, and they attempt to see the divine creator in everything from trees to animals. This makes the environment very spiritual and pleasant. The fresh flowers spread their fragrance in the air and you can feel the fresh air wafting over you even in the midst city life. Everyday flowers are offered to gods and the surrounding environment is then filled with its vibrant color and freshness.<br />
Yoga and meditation, massages, healing therapies, spiritual discourses and practice are a part of retreats set up at Bali. Thus it is like a heaven for the yoga practitioners coming to Bali. You will experience nature’s beauty, tranquility, and feel blessed by being brought into this beautiful world. The serene environment helps you relieve stress and fatigue. It helps you connect to your inner self and get detached from the busy external routine where we so often do not get time to experience our inner self.<br />
Carolyn from Australia, had been on a Bali yoga retreat. <br />
Carolyn shared her experience saying, “The Bali yoga retreat has been a wonderful opportunity toescape the stresses of our daily lives. The daily practice in the midst of the beauty and sounds of the forest prepared us and opened our hearts and minds. In this state we fully appreciated the Balinese spiritual rituals.”<br />
Many times people come to these retreats but fail to detach themselves from the external worries. You might consider limiting the use of your laptop and keeping your cell phones switched off when you are Bali yoga retreat. The aim of being here is to find refuge from your daily life and experience the peaceful state of your internal being so that when you get back home, you might be able to carry that state right into your daily routine.<br />
Consider planning a Bali yoga retreat and experience the difference it makes to your life.<br />
