South Kalimantan - 19th Feb 2010 (Fri) to 22nd Feb 2010 (Mon)

This might be my last few field trips for a long while due to my mother's worsening health condition. Anyway we are going to South Kalimantan for the first time from 19th Feb 2010 (Fri) to 22nd Feb 2010 (Mon). We only have 2.5 days and 3 nights, reaching Banjarmasin on Friday night 2230hrs and leaving Banjarmasin on Monday evening 1840hrs (1640hrs need to reach airport).

Option 1: Friday night reach Banjarmasin, stay overnight. Saturday travel and hunt along road to Kandangan, stay overnight in Kandangan. Sunday travel and hunt on Gunung Besar, stay overnight in car on Gunung Besar. Monday reach back to Banjarmasin, evening time fly back to Singapore.

Option 2 (more extreme): Friday night reach Banjarmasin, stay overnight in Banjarmasin. Saturday travel and hunt along road to Kandangan, night time travel up to Dayu stay overnight in car along the way. Sunday travel and hunt around Dayu to Buntok (last town along the main raod right beside Barito river?) and then travel and hunt along the road back to Kandangan, stay overnight in Kandangan. Monday travel back to Banjarmasin, evening time fly back to Singapore.

Option 3 (most extreme combining options 1 and 2): Friday night reach Banjarmasin, travel up to Kandangan, stay overnight in car along the way. Saturday travel and hunt along road to Dayu and Buntok, night time travel back to Kandangan stay overnight in car along the way. Sunday travel and hunt on Gunung Besar, stay overnight in car on Gunung Besar. Monday reach back to Banjarmasin, evening time fly back to Singapore.

All the above are just plans now, we will need to see how it all go along the way, i.e. whether we can find a willing driver, whether the road conditions permit, whether there are hotels available, the weather conditions, etc......
