The tremendous outspread of jungles and wilderness,
which are so rich in natural resources as
timber, gas, oil and coal as well as scenic
beauty - are comparable to that of a continent
alone. Focal point for most visitors is the
mighty Mahakam river, which meanders through
thousands of kilometers through one of the
worlds largest tropical rainforests, from
its head water near the center of the island.
The twenty main Dayak tribes - once feared
as headhunters have their homes in this river
basin, A remarkable varieties of plants and
animals life including the famous fresh water
dolphins which often accompany boats along
the river make a visit to Kalimantan an enthralling
venture to a different world. In year to come
the Mahakam river trips are most likely to
have a more modern outlook with modern crafts
and all possible amenities. Unfortunately
under such circumstances the Dayak village
would have last their primitive charm, and
a cliche scene of souvenirs shops would cluster
along the riverside.
The time to
take your Mahakam river trip is now...!! we
hesitate to say that this tours are designed
for the vigorous and adventurous visitors,
but those taking these tours should be prepared
for a degree of un-sophistication. River crafts
have usually only one toilet on board, and
sleeping accommodation is on the thin mattress,
with blankets provided. If you are prepared
to put up rith a little roughing up for a
few days you will be guaranteed the adventure
of your life time.
Tanjung Puting
reserve, 415.050 hectares is situated in an

Sumatra are the only places left in the world
where Orang Utans (the man of the forest)
still survive in their natural habitat.
