Morning river mist parts as the klotok slips away from Kumai and the rainforest closes in—tall dipterocarps and strangler figs shading a blackwater river that dares you to slow down. On this 3-day, 2-night voyage you live at the pace of the jungle: dawn feedings, short rainforest treks, and evenings rocked to sleep under mosquito nets aboard a wooden klotok.
