Gosong Beach, Serene Beach in West Borneo

Gosong Beach Bengkayang - Horror

Gosong beach, is a beach which is located in Sungai Raya Kepulauan, Bengkayang. Gosong means is overburned, you might think that this beach is black at all. In fact, the beaches was not burn (again), but, acording to the local community, Gosong Beach was been fired several years ago. Thats why this beach called so.

Gosong beach location was close to an outfall, made the sea water is becoming very turbid. Maybe a lot of people knowing this beach, but probably only a few of them who ever came to it. The water is muddy, so the visitor could not enjoy it while swimming, unless you like with salt water muddy. Probably it become one of the main reasons why people are unwilling to visit this beach. Not only muddy water, this beach is also known as a haunted beach. Some strange incident had ever occurred on this coast.

This beach is still very typical of rural fishermen village and only few visitor came to this beach each day. At night, this Gosong beach looks like horor beach, it is also supported by the presence of two cemeteries, the Muslim cemetery and chinese cemetery. But if we are not arrogant and overthinking about ghostlike thing, in sya Allah there will be no problem.

If you took time to stop by this beach, you will be presented with a view that is quite beautiful. The lack of visitors to this beach make the area relatively clean from plastic and other trash.

Although it is not possible to swim, we can see a some beautiful view of the beach and coconut palm plantation in this beach. The Palm trees that grow fairly tightly, coconut lodges, fishing boats, and houses presenting a quiet fisherman village atmosphere. This beach can be a recreational destination for people who require a serene place.

Gosong coastal area was used by many students from all over the coastal areas of West Kalimantan for they adventure activity almost every year. There is a hill near the beach, and we can see some cliff in that hill. The cliff was often climbed by the student who came to this place
to practise rock climbing.

Overall, Gosong Beach was recomended for those who seek a natural and quite place and for those who seek adventure activity. Or, you can just passing by in your trip to Singkawang or Sambas.

Tomistoma Survey: Menyusuri Kapuas dan Leboyan

Danau Sentarum, adalah salah satu taman nasional Indonesia yang berlokasi di daerah perhuluan Sungai Kapuas, sungai terpanjang di Indonesia. Pertama kali saya melihat secara langsung salah satu danau terunik di dunia ini sekitar November 2015. Saat melihat secara langsung tersebut, terbersit cita-cita di benak saya untuk mengunjunginya. Allah Sang Maha Pendengar mengabulkan cita-cita saya tersebut, tidak berapa lama selang dari terbang di atas danau, saya berkesempatan membelah air danau sentarum dari atas speedboat bertenaga 30 pk. Berikut adalah cerita perjalanan tersebut. Pemandangan Danau Sentarum dari Bukit Tekenang Perjalanan dimulai dari Pontianak dengan anggota terdiri dari Imanul Huda, Hari Prayogo dan Janiarto Paradise. Kami berkumpul di pool Damri Pontianak. Seperti jadwal biasanya, bus berangkat pada pukul 19.00 menuju Sintang. Perjalanan malam hanya menyajikan pemandangan gelapnya tepian jalan yang hanya kadang-kadang berhias lampu rumah masyarakat. Sisanya hanya sem...

Long House of Dipanimpan Bolong Nanga Nyabau, Heart of Borneo

The Nanga Nyabau Village Nanga Nyabau is one of the villages in Kapuas Hulu Regency, precisely in Embaloh Hulu district. It does’nt take a long time to visit this village from Putussibau*. Nanga Nyabau can be achieved in about 1 hour road trip. I have been to this village several times, but not with special intentions for traveling or backpacking. My arrival to this village was only to take my co-workers in the village of Nanga Lauk. Why go to Nanga Nyabau village? Its because the most plausible path to the village of Nanga Lauk is the river route starting from Nanga Nyabau downstream of the Palin River. After several visits, I learned that Nanga Nyabau Village has a betang house (long house) that has been designated as a cultural heritage object. While waiting for the boat pickup from Nanga Lauk, we visited the betang house in Nanga Lauk village on the advice of Rio. From where the car was parked, me, the nicke, elin, and aloy, walked across the suspension bridge that are very com...

Berburu Foto Serangga

Serangga memiliki jumlah dan jenis tertinggi diantara semua organisme makroskopis yang dapat di temukan di permukaan bumi ini. Jika kita ingin mengeksplorasi dan mengabadikan serangga, kita tidak akan kehabisan objek meskipun setiap saat kita memotret mereka. Namun terkadang tidak mudah untuk menemukan mereka di lapangan, jika kamu ingin berburu gambar mereka yang menawan, ada baiknya kamu tahu caranya. Berikut adalah sedikit dari cara-cara tersebut. Pertama, perhatikan  musim  yang sedang berlangsung.  Ini tidak hanya terkait dengan musim seperti yang berlaku di negara subtropis, di negara tropis-pun kita harus memperhatikannya. Karena sebagian serangga juga punya musim kapan mereka keluar dari sarangnya atau kapan mereka berubah menjadi dewasa dan terlihat oleh kita. Tapi kalau di Indonesia mungkin lebih banyak yang dapat kita temukan setiap waktu. Kedua, perhatikan kondisi  cuaca  terkini Jangan berkeras untuk hunting pada saat sedang hujan, selain beres...
