KALTENG Package Tours






Central Kalimantan is huge province of mighty rivers and vast rain-forest, stretching from the Schwaner Mountain to Sea Java.

Trekking Rafting Camping

If you are seeking an adventure & a unique experience away from the well trodden of easy accessible places, the true heart of Borneo will bring out the explorer in you!

Mighty River of KALTENG

The rivers of Kalteng remain important communication and transportation highways, penetrating deep into this exciting land. Kalimantan is roughly translated as River of Diamonds.

Whether traveling by exhilarating speed boat, slow boat (soon to be launched Tangkiling boat) or traditional klotok and even canoe, this is a perfect way to reach the upstream tributaries and observe the emerald green jungle where trees from each bank often meet and monkeys play overhead, kingfishers diving in a burst of color.

Now available by special prior arrangement White River and Traditional Bamboo Rafting! If you have from 2 days and up to a week or more, enjoy the exciting rapids with an experienced team working with local guides to give you a truly thrilling time! White water and traditional Bamboo rafting are available on request.

Jungle and Kalteng Highland Trekking Trek into the jungle with a Dayak Guide and spend the night in a campsite prepared by your guides, falling asleep to the sounds of the jungle night.

Continue on to the upper reaches of Kalteng's Mighty Rivers and upstream tributaries, the Katingan, the Kahayan and the Kapuas, and trek through Kalteng's Highlands stretching from Bukit Raya across to the Schwaner Mountain range. Pass exotic flora and fauna and far away long-houses, notably the remains of the long-house at Tumbang Anoi. Famous as the site of the great peace conference organised by the Dutch in 1894, Tumbang Anoi hosted representatives from 30 Dayak Tribes of Central Kalimantan who agreed to stop head-hunting.

The people at Tumbang Maharoi, the last village on the Kahayan River, pan for gold and weave fine rattan baskets. Beyond there, even further inland, there are nomadic groups

who are seldom seen, even by settled villagers. It is said that they live exclusively from hunting and gathering.

Off road Adventures by 4WD

If getting wet or working up a physical sweat trekking is not your thing or you would like to combine your trip with a mixture of river, trekking and 4WD off road adventure travel, then join in the fun with the local Adventure Club. Go with them on their Trans Kalteng Jungle Adventure taking you to stunning waterfalls, beautiful forests with trees the width of eight people, remote villages and long-houses.

*Please note that these tour package can be combined into one complete tour

Enjoy a dip in an upstream tributary, admire the soaring rock formations and waterfalls as you make your way through this unexplored forested interior.
