Tanjung Puting

I would like to spend 7-10 days at Tanjung Puting some on a Klotoc and some at one of the accomodations in the area. I will be traveling alone and am interestead in Photography (Macro and wildlife) What is the best way to fix this up costs etc I can expect to pay. both for the time there and the Air fare from Jakarta.

I am very experienced in Indoniesian travel but dont have much Bahsa so I wont need a tour Though boat with Guide for wildlife is iomportant. I am in my 60ts so slow pace is what I want.

If I Just turn up would be willing to share with like minded persons for the boat

No information here anymore what a shame, New promis is for heavy censorship I see they will have a concerted effort to suc... more »

South Korea and Japan in 24 days

Hi, I have 25 days off work in April and have decided to pick up my bags and go somewhere different.

I currently have 3 options in mind:

Option 1: South Korea and Japan
Option 2: India and Nepal
Option 3: Central America

Could anyone in this forum give me a few thoughts as to whether this is feasible and if so a recommended itinerary. I like most things; nature, cities, beaches etc etc. and want to combine a bit of everything into my trip. I'm a 32 lone female and will be backpacking, although happy to spend a few extra pounds so i'm starying in somewhere fairly decent...my standards have tended to go up over the years...having said that i've just left the army, so happy to rough it if/when necessary.

Any thoughts on places to go and see would be appreciated. Also top tips from getting to Japan via ferry as that is the current plan.

Thanks to all that are able to r... more »

Help me choose?

Going to Vietnam. Only have 29 days. Tried to plan private tour but way too expensive so have to do it on my own on public transport so have to cut down what I see and make choices. Unfortunately, I'm on short timescales because the private tour took so long to come back to me. I'm going to Vietnam at end of February.
Looking for advice.
If you had to choose between Sapa or Ha Giang/Dong Van/Meo Vac for scenery and a little trekking, which would you choose?
If you had to choose between Halong Bay or Cat Ba Island/Lan Ha Bay, which would you choose?
Any help appreciated.

Trek to EBC in March 2013

Hi,

I am a 30yr old female setting off on my first trekking experience to Everest Base Camp in March. I was wandering if anyone has a packing list for this time of year?. I would also like peoples views on sleeping bags. I currently have a +5 synthetic bag and I can only assume this is not going to be any good, especially the higher up I go. I did have a sleeping bag liner that I thought may add a little warmth, but perhaps not quite warm enough. I tend to feel the cold, so I'd be keen to know what peoples thoughts are on the bag I would need. Also what trekking pants should I get?. I.e. material - cotton/nylon etc and Is it necessary to take rain pants? and finally, I am tossing up what camera to take. I have a compact camera and an SLR. But Im thinking maybe the SLR would be a bit too big and take up too much space. Thanks heaps for any info you may have.

Nakhon Si Thammarat Province incl Khanom: Your Suggestions?

Hello. Now i will look around Nakhon Si Thammarat province by rental street car (not 4WD) for around a week. What are your suggestions? I do have both Lonely Planet Thailand and Rough Guide Thailand (the latter is better for this area). At the Nakhon Si Thammarat tourist office I already got some helpful brochures about many destinations around the area. I do speak a bit of tourist Thai - enough to deal with receptionists, khanom jin operators and curios locals. I have seen NST town already.

I certainly would like to see

• Khao Luang
• Khanom beaches + resorts

• rather natural, not tons of concrete
• good shad...

East Coast Australia and NZ North Island

Hi,

I am planning on going travelling starting in Sydney beginning of June 2013. I will than have a month in Australia before flying from Brisbane to Auckland and having 2 weeks in NZ.

After a few days in Sydney my plan was to drive the East Coast with a campervan up to Cairnes before flying back to Brisbane. I have heard mixed reviews about this-some say the drive is quite boring whilst others say its great! Do you have any reccomendations on what I should do? What are the main sights that I should visit?

I have no idea so far regarding what to do in NZ but am planning to stay in the North Island and would like to do some skiing and maybe a skydive? Does anyone have any advice? I wasn't planning on hiring a campervan again and so was planning on depending on public transport- is this a reasonable thing to do?

I would appreciate any help!

thanks! more »
