Jungle eventyr med utrolige oplevelser - 4 dage / 3 nætter

Dette program er arrangeret privat med jeres egen guide og kan begynde på den dag I ønsker

M = Morgenmad / F = Frokost / A = Aftensmad

Dag 1 / F

Afhentning Phuket eller Khao Lak af lokalguiden. (Anden rækkefølge med start Krabi, Samui eller Surat Thani)

Fotostop undervejs ved politi patruljebåden, der skyllede 2 km ind i landet under tsunamien 26DEC04. Efter endnu en times kørsel er fremme ved elefantlejren i Khao Sok, hvor de rigtige oplevelser starter.

Elefant trekking: Langs med og gennem et vandløb oplever vi fornemmelsen af, at sidde på ryggen af verdens største landskabning. Imens man kan fundere over dyrets præcise gang og smidighed. Den maskine er endnu ikke opfundet, der kan erstatte dette dyrs formåen i skovene. Ved hjælp af over fyrre kommandoer, som elefanten nemt kan huske, får mahuten (elefant driveren) dyret til at udfører selv de vanskeligste arbejdsopgaver. Vores tur på elefantens ryg, bringer os gennem vandløb, gummiplantage og regnskov til et betagende vandfald, hvor der også vil være mulighed for at få en svalende dukkert inden vi rider tilbage.

Vi forsætter og stopper ved Khao Sok view point for at nyde panoramaudsigten til særprægede bjerge og klippeformationer. Herefter kører vi det sidste stykke vej til Arts River View Lodge. Hvor vi checker vi ind og spiser frokost.

Om eftermiddagen køre ud til et udvalgt sted ved Sok Floden. Ved et tempel, der ligger ud til floden bliver kanoerne sat i vandet. Turen snor sig mellem de høje kalkstens formationer, hvor næsehornsfuglen har sit revir. Sommerfugle i alle regnbuens farver afsøger den frodige bred langs floden. Det er bestemt ikke en forudsætning, at man har prøvet at padle før. Hver kano padles af en lokal ekspert, det med trænede øjne er i stand til at udpeger liv der kamuflere sig i den omgivne natur. Herefter retur til Arts Rive View Lodge

En flok langhalet Macaque aber holder til på klippen over for Arts restaurant. Her er det normalt således at aberne kommer ned til floden inden solen går ned. Fra restaurationsterrassen har man frit udsyn til denne begivenhed.

Overnatning: Art’s River View Lodge. “Best views, Best huts & Best food”.

Dag 2

Formiddags hiking tur til Jungle tempel: Vi krydser Sok floden og bevæger os langs bunden af kalkstens klippen gennem et lille stykke med skov, før vi når frem til en palmeolie plantage. De buddhistiske munke har flere steder langs klippekanten lavet meditations steder i hulerne og i den største af dem undervises novicerne af deres mestre. (Denne udflugt kan ikke gennemføres under visse perioder i regntiden, da floden oversvømmer ruten)

 

Herefter er dagen er afsat til at opsøge eventyrerne alene eller til at slappe af i de fredfyldte omgivelser. Hovedindgangen til Nationalparken ligger kun få hundrede meter borte. En vandretur af det afmærkede stisystem i regnskoven kan nemt selv gøres, men man kan også leje en erfaren lokal guide til at ledsage sig i skoven. Det er en fordel, at man medbringer drikkevand og hos Art’s laver man gerne en picnic frokost, som kan medbringes og nydes ved et af de mange små vandfald i nationalparken. I perioden fra januar til februar kan man være heldig at se den sjældne kæmpeblomst Rafflesia sprunget ud.

(Se mere, hør mere og lær mere. - Tillæg for 5 – 6 timer ledsaget tur i nationalparken med professional jungle guide og picnic frokost THB 1.350 per person, minimum 2 personer. Nationalpark entre THB 400 per person er ikke inkluderet – betales ved NP hovedkvarteret).

Overnatning: Art’s River View Lodge

Dag 3 / F - A

Op af formiddagen checker vi ud og guiden vil ledsage os til Chiew Larn søen, der ligger 70 km væk.

Søen er også er en del af nationalparken og herfra er der en times sejlads, med udsigt til særprægede klippeformationer. Vi passere et særligt smukt område, der kaldes ”Goulin in Khao Sok” inden vi når frem til vores flydende bungalows i et afsides hjørne af søen.

Efter indcheckning og mens vi venter på frokosten bliver serveret, vil en forfriskende dukkert i det krystalklare ferskvand være en kærkommen oplevelse - eller hvad med en lydløs kanotur for at udforske de nærmeste omgivelser?

Om eftermiddagen tager vi på en ledsaget hiking tur gennem den tætte regnskov. Undervejs sejler vi på tømmerflåde for at komme over til en nyopdagede drypstenshule.

Tilbage ved vores flydende bungalow ressort, er der ved solnedgang tid til at padle ud langs søbredden i kano for at opsøge ”wildlife”. Når mørket har sænket sig over regnskoven og lyden af frøernes kvække bliver nærværende, vil aftensmaden blive serveret. En generator vil lave strøm indtil sengetid. (0 stjerne klassificering, - men millioner over dit hoved)

Nat på simpelt bambus tømmerflåde ressort.

Dag 4 / M

Hvis man vil have det fulde udbytte af opholdet midt i vildnisset, står man op med solen. Inden morgenmaden starter, sejler eller padler vi ud på en ekskursion langs søbredden. På denne tid af dagen er skovens dyr mest aktive og hvis vi ser grenene i trætoppene svipper fra side til side ved vi, at det er en abeflok der søger efter dagen første måltid. Morgenmad kort tid efter vi er kommet retur.

Tid til en forfriskende dukkert inden vi checker ud fra tømmerflåde resortet og sejler retur til molen, hvor vores transport venter. Kørsel til Phuket, Khao Lak, Krabi eller Surat Thani efter ønske.

Beskrivelse Arts River View Lodge:

 

Det bedst beliggende bungalow resort i Khao Sok området. Endnu har multinationale hotelkæder ikke fundet vej til stedets skønhed og dermed findes her ikke 3 - 4 eller 5 stjernede indkvarterings muligheder. Arts River View Lodge kan derimod tilbyde millioner af stjerner, der funkler på nattehimmelen om kap med regnskovens ildfluer.

 

Stedet er genialt anlagt med respekt for den omkringliggende natur. Alle bungalows har terrasse og flere af dem vender ud mod den lille Sok River. Alle units har elektricitet (men strømsvigt er ikke usædvanligt), moskitonet over sengene, elektrisk vifte, badeværelse med sid-ned toilet og brus med uopvarmet vand.

 

Personalet lider ikke af stress og små misforståelser kan opstå ved bestilling, fra det i øvrigt afvekslende og alsidige menukort.

 

Til morgenmad - prøv yoghurt blandet med müesli eller frisk frugt (stor portion, som muligvis vil kunne gøre dig mæt alene).

 

Har du mod på en cocktail med god styrke? Så prøv Art’s Jungle Juice.

 

“Best views, Best huts & Best food”.

 

Beskrivelse Chiew Larn Jungle Raft:

Rustikke hytter, der er bygget af bambus og som flyder på vandet. Sengene er dobbelt madrasser, som ligger direkte på det fjedrende bambusgulv. Alt er rent og pænt, men overnatning i disse omgivelser kræver, at man besidder et minimum af camping eller spejder ånd. Moskitonet findes over alle sengene. Rafthytterne er forbundet til land med en gangbro. Her findes baderummet og toiletterne.

Personalet lever i harmoni med den natur der omgiver dem. Holdningen er ganske afslappet, men undgå venligst at vise anstødelig optræden som f.eks. nøgenbadning og blottelser af de ædle dele under omklædning. Kys & kærtegn samt højlydt kritik retterne der serveres, vil også kunne virke stødende. Vand der serveres til alle tider, er rent drikkevand. Det er helt normalt, at der kan opstå fejl og misforståelser. Prøv at være tolerant over for problemer som disse.

Engelskkundskaberne er ikke på universitets niveau, men alligevel får man mange interessante oplysninger om flora og fauna i nationalparken.

Måltiderne bliver tilberedt med sædvanlig thailandsk omhu og de simple forhold til trods er maden utrolig velsmagende. En generator laver en smule strøm, men det er en rigtig god ide at medbringe sin egen lommelygte. Bambus resortet har en begrænset forsyning af øl og sodavand. Hvis I er tilhængere af snaks og guf, så medbring det til søen.

345 million years ago... Khao Sok was covered in a delta system (similar to today’s Mississippi delta). The landmasses started to erode and mudstone and soil fell into the delta. This made both the rivers and the sea shallow and corals and other organisms developed. 280-55 million years ago... More eroded mudstone and soil fell into the delta, and this created the limestone we see today. Fossils from this period tell us that the sea was warm at that time and that Khao Sok was part of a huge coral reef, stretching all the way from China to Borneo. The coral reef was 5 times bigger than today's "Great Barrier Reef" in Australia. Granite mixed with limestone and other chemicals, and a lot of tin and tungsten was made. 66 millions years ago...Today's landscape was founded. The limestone was forced upwards when the Indian land-plate crashed into the Eurasian plate. (This happened at the same time as the Himalaya mountain range was formed. As the Himalayan Mountain rose, Thailand was moved south-eastwards). The ice age didn't really affect Khao Sok. The ice never reached this far south in Asia, leaving the landscape and the rivers as they were. When the ice melted again, more water than ever floated into the rivers of Khao Sok, making the flora even richer than it was before. This is why the rainforest in Khao Sok is older than the forests of Central America and the Amazons, which were covered with ice stunting floral growth and reverting it to savannah and grassland. 50000 - 37000 years ago...Evidence has been found of human habitation on Borneo from this period. It is believed that the same people inhabited Khao Sok as well, since the landscape, with all its caves, fruits, plants and animals, was similar to Borneo's landscape. In 1800...The first historical evidence of human inhabitants in Khao Sok is from 1800. It was during the rule of Rama II and the conflict between Burma and Thailand. A group of survivors from the west coast were forced to hide away in the forest. They discovered the richness of the forest and quickly learned agriculture, fishing and hunting in order to survive. Large tracts of forest was cut down to make room for the growing population. In 1944...A deadly epidemic swept trough the same group of people. The few survivors moved away and the old village was named "Ban Sop"-The village of the dead. The jungle could rest for a while. In 1961... A road was build straight across the area, to connect Surat Thani on the east coast and Phang Nga on the west coast. Many people settled down along the road and cut down trees and vegetation to give room for houses and plantations. The area was rich with tin and timber, and the government began to sell properties for logging and mining. It was a big loss for the forest. In 1971...It was discovered that the old delta system was nearly intact and Khao Sok was considered as a possible el-supply for southern Thailand. The area was inspected furthered and people started to realize the wealth of vegetation, animals, limestone mountains and waterfalls. It was decided that all logging and mining should stop, but it took many years before this actually came into effect. In 1976 -1980...A group of communistic students failed to make the changes they wanted in the community, and ended up being considered outlaws. They camped far inside the jungle to avoid the army, which was looking for them. The subsequent conflict made part of the human population in Khao Sok disappear and the rainforest had a chance to breath. In 1980...Khao Sok was officially established as Thailand's 22nd national park on the 22nd of December and measured 645 km2. Later the same year, the borders of the national park were changed to make it possible to flood an area inside Khao Sok, to build the Rachabrapha dam. The dam still supplies large parts of Southern Thailand with electricity. A huge rescue operation to save the wildlife took place before the flooding. More than 1300 birds, mammals and reptiles was captured and moved away from the area. S

Malaysiske halvø med indtegningen af Khao Sok Nationalpark. Koh Samui øverst th. - Phuket nederst tv. Khao Sok National Park in Southern Thailand is an amazing place. It is covered by the oldest evergreen rainforest in the world, huge limestone mountains shooting straight up in the air, deep valleys, breathtaking lakes, exciting caves, wild animals and much more. Khao Sok is a fantastic place to go on vacation. Elephant trekking, trekking on foot, canoeing and jeep safaris are all possible activities, which will give you the experience of a lifetime. Khao Sok is perfectly situated on the mainland between Phuket, Krabi, Khao Lak and Koh Samui, the most popular destinations in southern Thailand. Experience the oldest rainforest in the world by canoeing down the Sok River. Marvel at the beauty of it all while lumbering through the jungle on the back of an elephant. Trek into the dense foliage and enjoy a special lunch surrounded by nature and wildlife. Discover the amazing Chiao Lan Reservoir (in the three-day program). Then fall asleep in the beautiful jungle-style resort to wake up with astounding sights right outside your window. Size The National Park covers an area of 739 km2 Thanks to two other protected areas (Klong Saers and Khlong Nakha) next to Khao Sok the actual protected area measures almost 4000 km2. There is no need to worry about malaria, because the disease has been eradicated from this area a long time ago. Even so, we recommend that you bring mosquito repellent when you visit Khao Sok. The mosquitoes can sometimes be a bit annoying, especially in the evening and after rain. Geography The dominant forest is lowland rainforest. The rainforest in Southeast Asia is 160 million years old, which makes it the oldest rainforest on earth. Khao Sok is well known for its limestone mountains. The highest limestone peak is 960 m high, but the average height is 400-600 m. 345 million years ago... Khao Sok was covered in a delta system (similar to today’s Mississippi delta). The landmasses started to erode and mudstone and soil fell into the delta. This made both the rivers and the sea shallow and corals and other organisms developed. 280-55 million years ago...
