Hi!

For Ujung Kulon National Park see my page: http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/c8969/125e01/.

But don't count on seeing any rhino's. Near the usual trekking trails they don't show themselves.

If you are intent to see them, I think you should discuss your options with the park wardens or mr Komaruddin.

Cheers,
Theo

Thanks for all the support.

I have around 2/3 weeks, I was counting on doing 3/4 days on Bali, Lombok and komodo. the rest of the time I would like to travel with bus or train to those destinations.

Any suggestion for my travel? Is it better the bus or should I just fly to Bali from Medan? I do not know, I wouldnt mind spend up to 100USD for the flight but I do not want a flight from Jakarta to bali, I'd rather bus it at that point.

I am going to Medan as I am travelling through malaysia and I'll take a boat to medan as I heard there is a park for orang tang near medan called bukit or something like that.

Thanks.
Enzo
