Things to Do  

Fireflies

Fireflies, Kampong Gramma

 Pieter11 Says:  In Kampung Gramma another special animal is living: the Firefly. After you come back from the boattrip and you enjoyed your dinner you can spot the insects as soon as the sky is completely dark. They live in forests with a lot of water, mostly in trees directly at the... 

Silver Langur

Silver Langur, Kampong Gramma

 Pieter11 Says:  A third species that you can possibly spot at the Klias Wetlands is the Silver Langur. These animals are extremely shy, so it's hard to spot them and even harder to get them on a picture. The Silver Langur has a very dark skin colour with short "silver" hairs all over its... 

Proboscis Monkey

Proboscis Monkey, Kampong Gramma

 Pieter11 Says:  Further away from the village, the chance of spotting a Proboscis Monkey (Nasalis Larvatus) gets bigger. These animals are not happy with humans around and prefer large areas with mangrove forests or coastal forests. Due to deforestation, their living area gets smaller and...

Restaurants  

Simple dinner

Simple dinner, Kampong Gramma

 Pieter11 Says:  After your boattrip you will get your dinner in Kampung Gramma. At the pier you will find a simple buffet, with local food. In my case it was, of course, white rice, chicken, some fish and salad. One drink is included in the price too. 

What to Pack  

Binoculars

Binoculars, Kampong Gramma

 Pieter11 Says:   If you visit Klias Wetlands you should really bring some binoculars or a photo camera with a good lens. Some monkeys are not afraid of humans and will get close to you, but most of them rather hide.

"Dutchman Monkey"

"Dutchman Monkey", Kampong Gramma

 Pieter11 Says:  The Proboscis Monkey is also called "Dutchman Monkey" or "Monyet Belanda" in Malay. Why exactly they have this name is not clear, but the possible reasons that are mentioned are definitely not flattering for "us" Dutchmen: 1) They have a big nose, the longer the male's nose...
