Fascinating
Flora & Fauna Wealth of
Borneo
The Dayak
Tribes in the Hinterland of Kalimantan 's Kahayan River area have
still kept their original culture, influenced by the kaharingan
supernatural of spirits religion, while they already left their
headhunting activities at the Dutch colonial period at the beginning of
the 20th century. Longhouses and jungle life are not history
yet. 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.Central 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 Kahayan, Katingan and Rungan Rivers of
Central Kalimantan are 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.
Join us for a once-in-a-lifetime exploration of the Kalimantan Island!
The Expedition is 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.
