Tangkoko Nature Reserve

Travel Guide

• Gunung Dua Saudara •

In English it is literallly translated as Two brother/sister mountain. I know it sounds ridiculous!

People name this mountain Dua Saudara because there are two mountains next to each other. Not far from these mountains there is Mount Klabat, the highest mountain in Minahasa Peninsula of North Sulawesi.

This area is protected by government to provide home for wild animals that only can be found in Sulawesi, such as Tarsiers, Macacas Nigra, and others. 

The famous wildlife area is Tangkoko nature and wildlife reserve. It attracts volunteers from around the world to help locals protect and study these unique animals, such as documenting, providing medicines, campaigns and taking care of these unique animals.

If you are a nature enthusiast, this area is an exciting destination. For more information, you may look it up on the internet, Batuputih, Tangkoko nature and wildlife reserve.

Accommodation is very basic if you decided to stay in this area. But there are several nice cottages along Lembeh Straits, where is near from Tangkoko nature and wildlife reserve.

What to do?
There are plenty of beautiful sites in this natural reserve including beaches, jungles, waterfall, mountains and others but you will need a guide to guide you in this wilderness. Furthermore, since it's located near Lembeh Strait, diving is a must.
