kalimantan

Borneo Island is the land of Dayak tribes and lush rainforests containing some of the richest flora and fauna in the world. The Indonesian part of Borneo is called “Kalimantan” and covers the lower two-thirds of the island with a total of 540,000 sq kms. The northern part of Borneo Island consists of Malaysian Sabah & Sarawak and the tiny oil-rich sultanate, Brunei.

The heart of Kalimantan is made up of mountain ranges rising up to 2,000 meters above sea level. Great rivers cascade down from the highlands and are crucial infrastructure channels between the coast and the deep interior. Boats of all sizes and shapes ply the river “highways”.
The jungle regions of the hinterland are home to 200 Dayak tribes who still live in communal dwellings.  While their headhunting activities were left behind during the Dutch colonial period at the beginning of the 20th century, they have kept their original culture influenced by an animistic religion. Hunting in the forest with blowpipes, medicine men and living in harmony with nature are still very much alive.
 
Kalimantan is a world where original culture and nature collide. The Dayak arts are extraordinary. Vibrant designs, the characteristic flowing geometric patterns used in portraying scenes of jungle life, reflect Chinese and Vietnamese Dong Son influences.

The flora and fauna of Kalimantan are nothing short of amazing, with rare forest denizens such as orangutans, proboscis monkeys, sun bears and pangolins. Over 600 species of birds fill the forest canopies, freshwater dolphins found nowhere else on earth ply the mighty Mahakam River, and rare black orchids flourish.

Expeditions
Kalimantan’s dense jungles and wide expanse of wetlands have traditionally kept the region isolated from all but the most adventurous travelers, and along the upper reaches of the rivers the  rich Dayak cultures await discovery.
