As one of the main islands of the Indonesian archipelago Kalimantan comprises roughly the southern three-quarters of the equatorial island of Borneo.
Borneo is the third-largest island in the world after Greenland and New Guinea.
Kalimantan is administratively divided into four provinces, each with its own enchanting characteristic and many beautiful and exotic places to go. They are East Kalimantan, Central Kalimantan, South Kalimantan and West Kalimantan.
Enjoy the unique and natural experience you will only get in the virgin forests of Kalimantan and the variety of flora. You can also discover the beauty of culture through the famous rivers such as Kapuas river which is the longest river in Indonesia, the Mahakam river and the Barito river.
Discover the real truth of Dayak headhunters. For along time Kalimantan was favored only by the fearsome Dayak headhunters, its rivers their roads, its mountains the abode of their dead souls awaiting rebirth.
Living inland along the banks of major rivers and tributaries, they make up almost half of the territory’s population. Each tribe has its own tribal name and speaks its own language
The wildlife of Kalimantan is offering a natural journey for you. You can only find orang utan here in Kalimantan, Indonesia.
