Batu Suli
Batu Suli hill,Gunung Mas distric, The province of Central Kalimantan

As we know that in Central Kalimantan there are a lot of tourism places tourism paradise can also say, we take the example of Tanjung Puting National instance, Sebangau National Park, and many others. On these occasions I will introduce a bit about one of the places that are tourist attractions in Central Kalimantan.
Batu Suli and Puruk Batu Suli, anyone ever heard of it? May ask where the place. Surely it's not the name of the street or an existing or five-star hotel in Palangkaraya.
Puruk Batu Suli is the name of one of the tourist attraction that is not alien to the people in the district Gunung Mas. Situated right in the village is often called the Manange tumbles Upon the Rock, District Tewah, Gunung Mas. This unique place is located on the edge Kahayan and has a very beautiful panorama.




 
Batu Suli hill




To reach this place, for those who are in Palangkaraya first trip to Kuala Kurun which can be either directly using a personal vehicle or motor cars can also use a travel service that is always there every day. The next arrival in Kuala Kurun you can simply stay in the families, friends, or at the hotel or elsewhere, according to individual taste.
Next trip from Kuala Kurun leading to the Batu Suli takes approximately 1 hour using a motor vehicle. Or you can also use kelotok (motorized boat) while enjoying the scenery Kahayan DAS. Arriving in the village tumbles Manange you can simply hire a guide from people around (if you know anybody can just leave). Should be encouraged to take a break to recharge due to reach the Puruk Batu Suli we have to climb again. From here the course of your tour begins, all the way you will enjoy the beautiful natural surroundings and the natural and meet the diverse flora and fauna. And you will also find some historical places.



Batu Suli foggy


To Batu Suli itself is very unique because it is located right in the riverbank Kahayan position other than that it's a bit rock jutting into the river when viewed from Kahayan so far this stone as nearly fell into the river Kahayan. As for the Puruk Batu Suli is located behind the Rock itself. To achieve the above Puruk Batu Suli can be reached by climbing to the top.
To ride (climbing) to the Puruk Batu Suli tricky, for a regular climbing trips can be taken approximately 15 minutes. Unusual for  it could take approximately 30 minutes due to a rather difficult field conditions. But you also need not worry as above Puruk already provided a resting place.
One appeal of Batu Suli is Puruk Antang Stone, a stone shaped like Antang (eagle), which was flapping its wings. When diliat Antang Stone is composed of two and in between two rocks have a small gap. Here all your courage will be challenged, for the brave can try, if in doubt a better look at it. You will be challenged to pass through a small gap between the rock crawling way.
Surprisingly even a small stone gap, but if people can just pass through. According to the myth that I have heard for a more in doubt do not try to pass both the rock cracks because you may be stuck in the rock cracks. Because the event anyone ever stuck in the cracks of stone.
Are not less fun in Puruk Batu Batu Suli is in addition there are also Antang Tingkes Stone, Talaga Bawin Kameloh, as well as grave Amai Rawang (Kadorih Dayak languages, Amai means Father / Father). From up here you'll see sights you've never seen before.
