Welcome to Kalimantan
off the beaten track
Borneo Island is home to the Dayak tribes, featuring pristine tropical rainforests, untouched white palm beaches, and stunning landscapes of slopes and valleys within the mountain ranges, making it an enchanting holiday destination in Southeast Asia.
Kalimantan, which comprises two-thirds of Borneo Island, is part of Indonesia and hosts a remarkable variety of flora and fauna, including wild orchids, pitcher plants, towering Dipterocarpus trees, and endangered animal species such as wild orangutans, Proboscis monkeys, deer, crocodiles, clouded leopards, marbled cats, flat-headed cats, leaf monkeys, macaques, tarsiers, lizards, rhinos, and over 500 bird species, including various hornbills, sunbirds, and pheasants.
You will find inspiration in the local culture of the Dayak tribes residing in the settlements, who continue to practice the mystical natural powers of their animistic beliefs known as "Kharingan." The Dayak arts, characterized by extraordinary and vibrant geometric designs that depict scenes of jungle life, are reflected in their statues and community longhouses, influenced by Chinese Dong Son culture. Women with elongated earlobes and tattoos can be seen in the hinterland, often referred to as the heart of Borneo.
