Bajunglincir-Palembang

Some of the TOP Hotels in Bali

Bali's most famous and crowded resort is Kuta beach, a six-kilometre sweep of golden sand, with plenty of accommodation, shops and nightlife. Nearby Sanur is much quieter, but most backpackers prefer the beaches of peaceful east-coast Candi Dasa and traveller-oriented Lovina on the north coast. The island's other major destination is the cultural centre of Ubud , a still charming but undeniably commercialized overgrown village, where traditional dances are staged every night of the week and the streets are full of arts-and-crafts galleries.

The Banjunglincir-Palembang river trip: From Jambi, take the Rp400 bus halfway to Banjunglincir to Batas, then walk the rest of the way to Banjunglincir. You have to walk it from Batas because the road is impassable. Get a hold of a stanis stia (stainless steel ring) to keep the tigers away. From Banjunglincir, a 10 m long boat takes 30 hours down to Palembang, Rp1500-2000 with 3 meals a day (fresh crayfish). Go past a whorehouse on stilts, monkeys swinging in trees, giant hornbills flapping up from jungle bush like B-29 Bombers. Shine your torch at night into the swamps and you can see the red eyes of crocodiles. If you don't get the boat from Banjunglincir right away; may have to wait 3-4 days. There's no losmen in Banjunglincir, so stay in the warung closest to the river. Crayfish cost Rp500 a kilo. To get back to Jambi from Batas (last bus leaves for Jambi at noon), get up at 5 am, allowing 6 to 7 hours for the walk. Don't need a guide which costs Rp1500. Because of tigers and poisonous snakes, don't travel at night.
