Eid holiday is the right time to travel at home. In Tarakan City, North Kalimantan, one of the most visited attractions during the Eid holiday is the Mangrove and Bekantan Conservation Areas or KKMB.<\/p>\n
This 22-hectare conservation area is very easy to reach because it is located in the center of Tarakan City. The entry ticket was not that burdensome. Just pay IDR 5000, we can enjoy the lush mangrove forests and the agility of \u2018bekantan\u2019 or proboscis monkeys that are endemic animals in this region.<\/p>\n
The tracking path made of boards and concrete is provided to facilitate visitors around the KKMB. At some point information boards are available. The information boards are provided to educate the types of mangroves and animals that live in KKMB.<\/p>\n

Various types of coastal biota and watershed can also be found in this place. Under the mud there are colorful crabs (\ud835\ude1c\ud835\ude24\ud835\ude22 sp)<\/em>, \u2018glodok\u2019 or \u2018tempakul\u2019 fish (\ud835\ude17\ud835\ude26\ud835\ude33\ud835\ude2a\ud835\ude30\ud835\ude31\ud835\ude35\ud835\ude29\ud835\ude22\ud835\ude2d\ud835\ude22\ud835\ude2e\ud835\ude36\ud835\ude34 sp)<\/em>, and water snakes. Every now and then the chirping of the king prawn (\ud835\ude17\ud835\ude26\ud835\ude2d\ud835\ude22\ud835\ude33\ud835\ude28\ud835\ude30\ud835\ude31\ud835\ude34\ud835\ude2a\ud835\ude34 \ud835\ude24\ud835\ude22\ud835\ude31\ud835\ude26\ud835\ude2f\ud835\ude34\ud835\ude2a\ud835\ude34)<\/em> also breaks the silence of the mangrove forest. Animals that are excellent for KKMB visitors, of course, is \u2018bekantan\u2019 or proboscis monkey (\ud835\ude15\ud835\ude22\ud835\ude34\ud835\ude22\ud835\ude2d\ud835\ude2a\ud835\ude34 \ud835\ude2d\ud835\ude22\ud835\ude33\ud835\ude37\ud835\ude22\ud835\ude35\ud835\ude36\ud835\ude34)<\/em>. This large-nosed monkey is deliberately bred in this place.<\/p>\n The best time to see \u2018bekantan\u2019 is around nine o’clock in the morning and three o’clock in the afternoon. During these hours the \u2018bekantan\u2019 mob will search for food. \u2018Bekantan\u2019 utilizes mangrove leaves as food. But the management of KKMB also prepared food like bananas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Eid holiday is the right time to travel at home.
