Been to Indonesia and never had a wildlife encounter? Here are a couple of unmissable experiences:

Check out the rare orangutans of Borneo

Escape to the heart of Borneo jungle and you could come across an orangutan – that too in its natural habitat! You can take a boat ride on the Sekonyer River to reach this place.

Meet Komodo dragon – largest lizard in the world!

At Komodo Island – spotting a giant komodo dragon is not unheard of, but don’t forget to mind your step, as these lizards are extremely aggressive and should not be taken lightly at all!

2. 5GX Bali Reverse Bungee

This mind-blowing reverse bungee in Kuta, Bali, is a favourite among adrenaline thirsty tourists. It’s nothing like your usual bungee and shoots you up in the air at an unbelievable speed of 200km/h!
