Travel can be tough and tiring, especially for those traveling from Europe or the Americas, so instead of making a stop in Jakarta we really recommend a stop to recover and get acclimatized in the amazing Rammang Rammang karst mountains, the worlds third biggest karst area on land (after China and Vietnam) that is close and perfect on the way to Sorong.
It’s only 45 min to 1 h from Makassar airport (UPG). Plus you get also the advantage to get the only morning/day flights further to Sorong. So no second red eye flight to Sorong as all other alternatives. Make a long stop enough for exploration/recovery as at least 2 nights there. Maybe paddle a local colourful canoe on the small river between the huge karst mountains and the many rice fields?
Or do trekking in the area or just relax after your trip with us. Google Rammang Rammang and check the reviews on Tripadvisor for Rammang Rammang Ecolodge.
