Kedungkan Village located on the outskirts of the Lake Sentarum. Residents of Kedungkang Hamlet who live in Betang or a long house, use wood from the surrounding forest to build betang. The Kedungkang community built a stretched house while still using wood to maintain the authenticity of the Dayak community culture.
The hamlet at the end of the sentarum lake in the Batang Lupar sub-district is often the destination of tourists. The purpose of nature lovers is on a hill, before entering the hamlet. This hill is called the pig hill. The panorama presented on the hill is really different from the name. The hill filled with thatch, will be seen by Lake Sentarum’s beautiful and pampering eyes.
In addition to the pig’s hill, there is also a bridged bridge whose position is right next to Betang. Tourists can visit the two places at the same time stop by and around the 700-meter bridge.
The residents there work daily in the fields or in the garden, not reducing the friendliness of the residents of the Kedungkang hamlet. The community there also weaves with lamai dyes from forest growth and fruit.

How do I become a Local Guides to promote Indonesian tourism (Indonesia Travel Bucket List Stories : Local Guides X Indonesian Ministry Of Tourism)
The name of the program is “SUSUR NUSANTARA” has a special agenda to revitalize the existence of tourist spots in Indonesia that are less exposed on social media. The West Side’s fame on social media is far less than the East side’s fame, where hashtags with locations in Bali, NTB, Sulawesi and Papua are always crowded with posts by local and international netizens.
I along with the team explored 8 destinations that are rarely exposed in Indonesia. I was officially invited to collaborate because I am a co-founder of Indonesia’s largest media on Instagram, @ExploreIndonesia, and also I am an alumni of the 2017 Local Guides Summit who are very active in helping local tourism in my residential areas, Sidoarjo and Surabaya.
Not only that, my job there is to photograph the beauty of the natural, cultural and regional heritage there. But it also helps to update the location with updated points of tourist attractions on Google Maps with the Local Guides program and Street View Trusted Photographer so that it will get maximum results.
My goal for sharing this story is to show my experience when traveling to unique places in Indonesia. And also helps provide insight to other global Local Guides friends. So, I will write my stories through the title “Indonesia Travel Bucket List Stories”.
Hopefully, one day, officially, @ExploreIndonesia and the Google Local Guides program also Google Maps can collaborate in Indonesia.
