Adventure River Rafting
-
The Amandit River which originates at Meratus
runs through Loksado and meets the mighty
Barito River further down.
Visitors usually use the river to get back
after visiting Loksado. Those who enjoy
rafting may venture the trip through numerous
rocky rapids by traditional rafts made of
bamboo or by rubber rafts. The river trip
starts at Loksado, 45 kilometres from
Kandangan. If a motorcycle ride is preferred,
it takes about 4 hours. Those who enjoy
trekking through the forests of the hill, the
trip takes 8-10 hours.
If
you want to take a river trip, start from
Loksado to Batu Laki which is 56 km away. The
trip can be made in two stretches. The first
is from Loksado to Muara Hatip. The second is
from Muara Hatip to Batu Laki.
The first stretch is not very challenging
because the rapids are not very strong and
ranks as grade 1 to 2 1/2. On the second one,
the level of difficulty increases, while the
rapids are higher and stronger at grade 3,
such as Hawangan and Kandihin at the mouth of
the river Muara Haring. The panorama along the
river is fascinating.
