Birding and Wildlife

Indonesia stands among the world’s greatest birding destinations, boasting over 1,700 bird species, including more than 400 endemics found only across the archipelago. With Rangga Trails, you can follow in the footsteps of explorers and ornithologists to some of the richest habitats on Earth — from the endemic-filled rainforests of Sulawesi and the mystical islands of Halmahera, to the wild jungles of West Papua and the lush highlands of Sumatra. Each journey reveals new treasures — from the Satanic Nightjar and Maleo to Ivory-breasted Pittas and Wilson’s Bird of Paradise — a true paradise for birdwatchers and photographers alike.

With over 1,700 bird species—more than 400 of them endemics—Indonesia is a dream destination for birdwatchers, wildlife photographers, and naturalists. From lowland dipterocarp jungles to high-altitude montane forests, volcanic islands to coral-fringed coasts, the country hosts an astounding range of ecosystems and endemic wildlife, many of which are threatened and found nowhere else.
