Kumai - West Kota Waringin Regency

Description

 (1)

Kumai is a port city on the island of Borneo. The anchorage is on the river, just across from Kumai. Although roads crisscross the district, most transportation is river based. The region to the north is mainly fertile plains, with the rest of the region consisting of bogs, lakes and other bodies of water. Dance and music are an important part of the culture here, and the local calendar is dotted with numerous festivals. Kumai is home to bird-nest businesses. There is an ATM near the harbor.

A visit to Kumai isn't complete without  visiting the Tanjung Puting National Park, home to a variety of animals and plants, in particular the orang-utan and proboscis monkey. The park is largest protected swamp forest in SE Asia.

*The info for this marker was provided to us in the Sail2Indonesia Rally 2015 but we did not visit this anchorage ourselves. Please use the info with care.

"Anchorage is not correctly located"

The anchorage shown is further downstream than the actual anchorage in Kumai. The anchorage in Kumai is directly opposite the national part office in Kumai (just upstream of the main ferry terminal). Anchor close to the shore furthest from town to avoid interfering with the busy commerical activity.
