Kalimantan exudes cultural and rainforest wealth within its 540,000 sq. km. area and is ideally suited for trekking expeditions through connected trails that lead into primarily virgin forest.
In the hinterland the villages can only be reached by foot or missionary aircraft. The jungle trails range from 2 hours to weeks in length, depending on the route you choose. Dense jungles and wide terrain of wetlands have traditionally kept the region isolated from all but the most adventurous travelers. A virtual mosaic of traditions flourish in the bustling seaports and riverside cities and along the upper reaches of rivers, Dayak cultural treasures survive deep within the rainforests.
Visiting the indigenous Dayak settlements along Kalimantan’s rivers is an ideal way to experience the incredible culture, where village elders practice traditional medicine and mark their status with intricate body tattoos and remarkably heavy ear adornments. We will be warmly welcomed guests in their traditional longhouses.
Our goal is to provide insightful experiences to our guests: traditional culture, a grand diversity of exotic flora and wildlife from black orchids to freshwater dolphins and orangutans, captivating jungle explorations and unforgettable encounters in our village visits.
