Kalimantan Tourism Information 
Kalimantan area is unique for trekking and expedition through the connected trails that lead you to mostly virgin forest. You can stay overnight in the local houses of the villages. In the Hinterland of Kalimantan The villages can only be reached by foot or missionary aircraft. The Jungle Trails range from 2 hours to weeks in length, depending on the route you choose, camping in the forest may be required, but inform before. The often used Rain Forest Trails are not dangerous if you are careful, but mud and leaches make a trek difficult when it rains. Leaches however are really no problem, your guide will show you how to use tobacco or salt to avoid getting bit. Tobacco and mosquito repellent is a winning combination for the leaches so do bring some repellent.

People:
The Dayak people in the villages at Kalimantan are trustworthy, and have a good sense of humor. Almost Each Dayak Tribe is self sufficient, and producing all their own food and supplementing their diet through hunting. Hunting is with either home-made rifles, blowpipes or packs of dogs and spears. In the Hinterland of Kalimantan, money is difficult to come by as they are isolated from markets. De'gigant Tours™ is in unanimous agreement for the area's forests to be protected and for more tourists to arrive. You will be warmly welcomed. No one in the area speaks any English, so if you hire another guide at least some knowledge of Indonesian will be required.

When to go:
While it is often Raining at Kalimantan, The more dry period of July-September is the best. The forest is at its loudest, leaches are few, trails dry up and butterflies are plentiful. Although you will have to contend with hot afternoons and lots of honey bees. In recent years the climate has been more difficult to predict than usual. Second-best time is November-December when fruit and wild boar are in abundance. November also tends to be dry and is honey harvesting season.Actually all the months are OK for travel at Kalimantan, while January and February are the months with the most rainfall, but is still a mixture of sun and rain.

What to bring:
If you go of the beaten trail rubber shoes used are highly recommended for traction and comfort, If you're route doesn't involve camping, it is still recommend to bring a sleeping mattress for overstay at local houses. In a homestay, meals and sleeping arrangements, including mosquito nets and blankets usually be provided. If you're camping, buy all food supplies in cities before you go into the hinterland of Kalimantan. In the mountains nights are coldest (down into the low teens), so if you're camping a summer sleeping bag is a good idea. Bring mosquito repellent and anti malaria pills and at least two pairs of knee-high socks for leaches.

Costs:
Kalimantan is a bit more expensive instead of other Indonesian regions, cause of it's bad infrastructure, Guide is needed as almost No one speaks English here.

Getting there:
Access is via one of the following options: - Flights and Ferry Boats From Java, Bali, and Sulawesi Islands are heading up to big coastal cities at Kalimantan as Balikpapan, Samarinda, Tarakan, Banjarmasin,Palangkaraya,Pangkalanbun,and Pontianak. For the latest updates you can e-mail us, we will sent you an updated flight schedule from the point you wish. - Crossing the Border, There are two legal entry points to cross the border, one at the North part of East Kalimantan, from Tawau to Nunukan/Tarakan, and one at West Borneo, from Kucing to Pontianak, both can be done by flight.
