Time to Visit
Kalimantan
(Borneo)
While
it is often Raining at Kalimantan, The more
dry period of July-September is the best. The forest is at its loudest,
leaches are few, trails dry up and butterflies are plentiful. Although
you will have to contend with hot afternoons and lots of honey bees. In
recent years the climate has been more difficult to predict than usual.
Second-best time is November-December when fruit and wild boar are in
abundance. November also tends to be dry and is honey harvesting
season. Actually all the months are shooting for travel at Kalimantan,
while January and February are the months with the most rainfall, but
is still a mixture of sun and rain.

unanimous agreement for the area's forests to be protected and
