Kalimantan Travel Tips
About the People
The Dayak people in
the villages of Kalimantan are trustworthy and have a good sense of
humor. Almost every Dayak tribe is self-sufficient, producing all their
own food and supplementing their diet through hunting. Hunting is done
either with home-made rifles, blowpipes or packs of dogs and spears, as
money is difficult to come by in the hinterland of Kalimantan, isolated
from public markets and other sources of cash.
X-Treme Borneo believes that “soft”
tourism can assist the local people economically and help protect
forests. You will be warmly welcomed.
As there is no
English spoken in the hinterland, our English-speaking
guides will assist you.
The Weather
While it rains
throughout the year in Kalimantan the “dry season”
is July-September, and it is the best time to travel in this area.
Although you will have to contend with hot afternoons and lots of honey
bees, in the dry season the forest creatures are at their loudest,
leaches are few, trails are dry, and butterflies are plentiful. In
recent years the climate has been more difficult to predict than usual,
but the second-best time to visit Kalimantan is November-December when
ripe fruit and wild boar are in abundance. November also tends to be
dry and is honey harvesting season. January and February have the most
rainfall, but there is still a mixture of sun and rain.

HEALTHY CARE
Before
visiting Indonesia Borneo, you may need to get vaccinations
and medications to prevent yourself against diseases,
your health-care provider will know what you will need,
depending on factors such as your health and immunization history. To
have the most benefit, visit a health-care provider
latest 4–6 weeks before your trip to allow time for
your vaccines to take effect. Even if you have less than 4 weeks before
you leave, you should still see a health-care provider for needed
vaccines, to get information about how to protect yourself
from illness and injury while traveling.
Although
yellow fever is not a disease risk in Indonesia, the government
requires travelers arriving from countries where yellow fever is
present to present proof of yellow fever vaccination. If you will be
traveling to one of these countries where yellow fever is present
before arriving in Indonesia, this requirement must be taken into
consideration.
Malaria
If
you
will be visiting a malaria risk area in Indonesia, you will need to
take one of the following antimalarial drugs: atovaquone/proguanil,
doxycycline, or mefloquine.
Malaria
risk area in Indonesia: Risk in rural Sumatra, Sulawesi, Kalimantan and
Nusa Tenggara Barat. No risk in urban areas.Risk in all areas of
eastern Indonesia (provinces of Papua Indonesia, Irian Jaya Barat, Nusa
Tenggara Timur, Maluku, and Maluku Utara).
No
risk
in Jakarta, resort areas of Bali and the island of Java.
VISA TO
ENTER
INDONESIA
Travelers
who can obtain a Visa-On-Arrival, have to go first to one
of the 'VOA Counters' to pay the appropriate fee of USD 25 for a 30
days Visa and have their
passports stamped with the VOA before proceeding to the Immigration
Clearance Desk. An official bank is part of the VOA service counters.
Payment of visa fees can only be made in US dollar bank notes,
Indonesian Rupiah equivalent or by VISA or MASTERCARD.
All
visitors must possess a passport valid for at least six months
after their arrival date in Indonesia. Immigration officials reserve
the right to deny entry to any visitor who, in their opinion, is not
properly dressed or groomed (long hair is okay), lacks the proper
funds, or "may endanger the country's security, peace, and stability or
the public health and morals." These unfortunate undesirables will
receive a transit visa upon arrival that allows them to hang out at the
airport until the first available flight out.
For
Nationalities who can obtain a Visa On Arrival, and the Entrance Ports
where you can get such a Visa, see the website Visa
for more information.
For those who can't get a VOA, or would like to enter a entrance port
without VOA facility, please contact your nearby Indonesian Embassy /
Consulate, to request a n Entrance Visa in advance.
