South Kalimantan
South Kalimantan is a land where winding rivers, lush wetlands, and forested highlands shape both landscape and life. The Barito and Martapura rivers pulse through daily routines, from vibrant floating markets to riverbank villages surrounded by rich biodiversity, including the elusive proboscis monkey. In the east, the Meratus Mountains cradle the Dayak Meratus people, whose traditions and deep connection to nature endure through generations. Whether exploring the waterways of Banjarmasin or trekking through rainforest trails, South Kalimantan offers a journey woven with culture, nature, and timeless rhythms.
Central Kalimantan
Dominated by vast tropical rainforests, winding blackwater rivers, and remote peat swamps, this region is a sanctuary for some of the island’s most iconic wildlife, including the endangered Bornean orangutan, which can be observed in the wild or at respected rehabilitation centers. River cruises through the forest offer a peaceful yet immersive way to explore untouched ecosystems teeming with exotic birds, proboscis monkeys, and unique flora. Beyond the natural wonders, Central Kalimantan is home to the proud and resilient Dayak cultures, known for their traditional longhouses, woodcarvings, and rich spiritual traditions.
East Kalimantan
Home to the endangered Bornean orangutan, rare hornbills, elusive clouded leopards, and the shy sun bear, the world’s smallest bear species. Along its scenic coastline, turquoise waters and vibrant coral reefs offer unforgettable diving and island-hopping experiences.
