Catch the Butterfly
The Trip of Amateur entomologist in 2009
at the fisrt time, when i arrange this kind of special interest tour, it was in 2009, 3 clients from france ask me to tailor tour programme based on Butterfly catching. but this is a mix trip, between culture, adventure and entomologist trip.
it was quite chalenging and great fun, so i tailor their trip from Balikpapan than taking the wooden boat in the river of Mahakam, than we navigate a bit deep inside of tanjung isuy and stay overnight in simple losmen, than continue taking small wooden boat to Mancong,
here is the detail tour programme when i were there with my clients.
