NANGA BADAU |

| |
| The ochre-coloured mud-slick running between Putussibau and the
ramshackle village of Nanga Badau at the Sarawak border has yet to be
sealed, but is served by a daily 8am bemo from Putussibau (7hr). From
Nanga Badau, a covered road continues east to Simanggung , just over the
border in Sarawak. Nanga's immigration office (8am-5pm) lies on this
road at the eastern end of town. At the moment Nanga Badau is not a
designated entry point into Indonesia, though tourists should have no
trouble leaving the country from here, and exit formalities are
straightforward. There's no public transport to take you into Malaysia,
however, and you're not allowed to walk across, so you'll have to try to
hitch a lift to the Malaysian border post, where public buses leave
regularly for Kuching (9hr). There's no accommodation in Nanga Badau. |
