KALIMANTAN

Kalimantan is a fascinating land of intriguing history and traditional villages, with a wealth of ecological and cultural treasures that survive deep within the rainforest jungle of Indonesia’s largest island. With its legacy of Chinese, Malay, Hindu, Muslim, and Dutch influences, we discover a virtual mosaic of traditions flourishing in the bustling seaports and riverside cities of Borneo. Kalimantan’s dense jungle and wide terrain of wetlands have traditionally kept the region isolated from all but the adventurous travelers, and along the upper reaches of the Mahakam river, we discover the rich Rainforest of the Muller Mountains, with it's exotic Flora and Fauna which is still intact. The indigenous Dayak settlements along the Mahakam and Kapuas River is an ideal way to experience the incredible culture, where village elders practice traditional medicine and mark their status with intricate body tattoos and remarkably heavy ear adornments, we will be warmly welcomed guests in their traditional longhouses. Along the way, we enjoy a sightful experience of traditional culture and grand diversity of exotic flora and wildlife from black orchids to fresh water dolphins and orangutans, and venture ashore for captivating jungle explorations and unforgettable encounters in our village visits. Join us for a once-in-a-lifetime exploration of the Kalimantan Island!
