Heart of Borneo
Naha Gamang is a small village inhabited by the Dayak people, located along the Kayan River within the boundaries of Kayan Mentarang National Park, which is situated in the central part of Borneo. The river here is known for its dangerous rapids, which prevent boats from moving further upstream. This section of the Kayan River is considered the source of the river, linking it to the Apokayan Highland region. The village is encircled by vast areas of primary tropical cloud rainforest, which support a rich diversity of wildlife and a wide variety of plant life.
