Niut Mount

Hi friend...

Wanna see? This is a Niut Mount...
Do you know about it?

Niut Mount an old volcanic mountain situated close to the Sarawak. This place is the border between Indonesia and Malaysia in West Kalimantan. This region can be achieved through Sanggau Ledo. The main vegetation type is forest below the mountains, and on the slopes of the lower likelihood Dipterocarpacea forests and forest. Nevertheless there are still some parts that are covered by the lowland forest, where the area is divided into two parts by a forest clearing paths from east to west. Approximately 60% of the area is covered by lowland forest, montane forest above 10% and the remainder by secondary vegetation and shifting cultivation areas. Most of this area is allocated to conservation areas and water catchment areas (70%) the rest is used for shifting cultivation activities.

With a height of about 1700mdpl Niut Mount is one of the highest points in West Kalimantan. It's hard to find a cool spot in West Kalimantan because it is situated right on the equator. Niut haunted mountains known as perhaps the last place which means hunting human heads.

In addition, along the river Ledo still quite a lot of beautiful scenery and still there is one bridge from the interlacing roots of timber located in the village Bentarat. Still there are also people who bring their timber to put together and made a raft. However, along the way there is no logging companies or the like

After that, we can go to Bentiang in Suti Semarang. From Suti road is always uphill but not steep. The locals are very remarkable, bearing goods to the Takin (similar baskets of typical Dayak) is about to be sold in Suti Semarang or Kendaik with a very fast motion. Half way through the fog and began meeting usnea which is a kind of plant that live in the sticks and only grows in cold regions. According to the story of the village is where the gods used to dispose of the fire. Indeed, the air was palpable difference from hot to cool.
