The tough part..... (*HIKE is not recommended for beginner or non camping lover)
Manusela National park where Binaiya is located, consist mainly of a dense forest with breathtaking karst landscape complete with a rich endemic biodiversity including cassowary, cuscus, sacred kingfisher and Seram Cockatoo… It is also a home of an ancient plants called Chintya Binaiya (Pakis Binaiya), a rare species specific to Nusa Ina region. Cross finger we will come across some of them during the trek 😊
The trailhead starts at only a few metres above sea level so the climb to the summit is quite an undertaking.
