Oelnasi
A virtually unexplored, easily-accessible, large area of tall, semi-deciduous forest (450-550 m altitude), only 15 minutes west of Soe.
Key species
Same as Camplong (although 200 m higher in elevation), but more birds to be seen, apparently. Good for pigeons/doves and raptors at times. Spot-breasted Dark-eye commoner.
Getting there
Take the main Kupang-Soe road to km post 95 (about 15 km from Soe) and look for a wooden-pole gate on the northern side of the road (on the left coming from Kupang) with caretaker’s hut, opposite a stone wall. Obtain permission from the caretaker. Starting at the gate, a trail winds right through the middle of tall forest for at least 2 km, passing through several small grassy clearings, good for seeing aerial species and flying pigeons.
