8 Days
Kayan Mentarang Adventure Tours
Indonesia Borneo Island is
a intriguing history of Sultan Kingdoms and traditional Dayak
Tribes, with a wealth of ecological and cultural treasures that survive
deep within the rainforest jungle of Indonesia ’s largest
island. With its legacy of Chinese, Malay, Hindu, Muslim, and Dutch
influences, we discover a virtual mosaic of traditions flourishing in
the bustling seaports and riverside cities of Borneo.
Kalimantan ’s dense jungle and wide terrain of wetlands have
traditionally kept the region isolated from all but the adventurous
travelers, and along the upper reaches of the rivers, you can
discover the rich Dayak Culture. The indigenous Dayak settlements along
the Rivers of Kalimantan 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. At Borneo you can enjoy a sightful
experience of traditional culture and grand diversity of exotic flora
and wildlife from black orchids to fresh water dolphins and orangutans,
and venture ashore for captivating jungle explorations and
unforgettable encounters in our village visits.
The
Expeditions are a collection of exploratories and Indonesia dream
destination journeys that reflect the particular passions and favorite
places. We created the Borneo adventure tours for those who search a
indigenous Dayak Culture in the deep dense jungle with it's exotic
flora and fauna. Borneo travelers will have an unforgettable
experience trip in Indonesia, however, it is designed
for those who are adventurous in body and spirit.
