We climbed Mount Binaiya (3,027m) with Taufan and Danu (from ClimbIndonesia) and a wonderful team of porters from Piliana village on Seram.

The organisation and attention to detail was... read more excellent from start to finish - there were many pleasant surprises the team produced along the route!

Their professional approach was totally reassuring - you need this when you are two days walk from the nearest village. There was enough bottles of water, for example, to meet all our needs - it is hot and humid. No dodgy water served and absolutely excellently prepared food too.

The whole trek to Binaiya was a wonderful mix of pristine rainforest, moss drenched forest, limestone karst and amazing endemic tree-fern savanna. It is a challenge in the lower rainforest but the sounds of monkeys and birds and the sights of all the varying foliage and ferns, provide distractions and motivation to climb higher into the open views towards the top. Here endemic red loris birds squabble and squawk among the tree tops. Glimpses of wild deer and steep sided mountain slopes add to the magic of the place.

Piliana Village, where we stayed two nights, is a delight. A community of Christian families farming Sago and cloves. Materially poor but environmentally rich.

We would thoroughly recommend ClimbIndonesia and look forward to planning another trip with them.
