| South Kalimantan |
 |
The Meratus mountains divide South Kalimantan
into two distinct regions. The eastern part
of the province is filled with mountains
covered with dense tropical rain forests,
home to the "Orang Gunung" or Mountain
Peoples. Collectively called the Dayak, they
form the minority of the region's population.
The southern section of the province is much
flatter with large rivers meandering through
lowlands to vast mangrove swamps along the
coast, helping to make South Kalimantan an
exceptionally fertile land. Many villages and
settlements have been built along these
rivers, by the indigenous majority, the
Banjar.
South Kalimantan is full of colorful and
distinctive traditional arts and cultures
which can be seen in its people's way of
life, art, dance, music, ancestral dress,
games and ceremonies. Exquisite traditional
and commercial handicrafts are all made from
local raw materials which include a variety
of precious and semi precious stones, gold,
silver, brass, iron and a wide variety of
woods including bamboo and rattan. South
Kalimantan, is one of the largest wood
producers in Indonesia. Extensive forests
with a wide variety of trees such as
ironwood, meranti, pinus and rubber have
helped to make the province a unique and rich
natural resource.
The provincial capital, Banjarmasin, lies a
short distance from the mouth of the Barito
River at its confluence with the Martapura
River. The rivers are literally the life
blood of the city everything revolves around
them. They are lined with tightly packed
stilt houses. A lot of business is done on
the waterways : floating markets flourish
selling an enormous variety of goods
including a tropical selection of fresh fruit
such as Kesturi, a rare aromatic species of
mango, durian, rambutan, butter fruit,
pineapple, watermelon and banana.
South Kalimantan is well connected with
cities all over the Indonesian Archipelago
through Syamsuddin Noor airport, which is
about 25 km from Banjarmasin. This busy
airport handles DC-9's, allowing Merpati
Nusantara, Bouraq and Sempati dan Dirgantara
Air to service the province. South Kalimantan
can also be reached by sea at Trisakti and
Banjarmasin. For interior travel there are
roads, but the waterways are the preferred
form of travel.

| West Kalimantan |
 |
Lying directly on the equator and serving as
the main gateway into the Provincial capital
of Pontianak. Founded in 1771 by Syarif Abdul
Rahman Al-Kadri of Saudi Arabia, the city is
now a bustling economic hub as well as home
to a sizeable university and a giant indoor
sports stadium. Canals crisscross the city
and one of Indonesia's longest rivers, the
Kapuas (1143 km long), divides the town in
two, providing an essential and historical
communications link. Like Java and Sumatra,
West Kalimantan was once an important
cultural crossroads.
Hinduism reached West Kalimantan by about the
year 400 and evidence of both early Hindu and
Buddhist civilizations in the region have
been discovered. Stone carvings and ceramics
can be traced as far back as the 5th century,
but it is the influence of Islam that has had
the most impact on this region.
The advent of Islam in West Kalimantan
occurred at about the same time as the rise
of the first Islamic Kingdom in Aceh in the
15th century. Islam was rapidly embraced and
various kingdoms grew in strength and power,
particularly because of Kalimantan's
strategic importance along trade routes to
China and Philippines.

West Kalimantan covers an area of over
146.807 sq km, rich in a variety of minerals
and precious stones, and remains largely
unexplored. Coastal areas are mainly swamp
lands with more than 100 rivers sculpting the
flat plains. In the mountainous eastern parts
of the province, away from the city and
plains, there are many Dayak villages.
The Dayaks have ancient traditions and
beliefs which are expressed in various forms
; earlobes elongated by heavy earrings,
tattoos, intricate paintings, designs and
carvings and wonderful dances of respect,
heroism, welcome and cure. A large Chinese
population, Malays and other Indonesian
ethnic groups account for the rest of the
inhabitants of the province.

| East Kalimantan |
 |
As a major producer of oil and timber, East
Kalimantan is at present the most
industrially advanced province of the island
and the second largest province in Indonesia.
It is also the home of the original
inhabitants of Kalimantan, the Orang Gunung
or Mountain People. The tribes are
collectively called Dayak, although this name
is not embraced by many tribes-people
themselves, who prefer to be known by
separate tribal names such as Iban, Punan and
Banuaq.
Local tribes traditionally live in communal
long houses called Lamin or Umaq Daru. They
are built on wooden piles, sometimes 3 meters
high as protection against wild animals and
flooding. The Punan people are nomadic
hunter-gatherers, and only use the long house
at the height of the rainy season. Steeped in
tradition, the interior of the long house is
typically divided into separate family
quarters with a communal areas connecting
each of the families. It is in these communal
areas that village meetings are held and
ceremonies performed, thereby reinforcing the
strong tribal bonds in the face of rapidly
advancing 20th century technology.
Guardian statues are normally placed in front
of long house to protect them against evil's
spirits who bring disease and bad fortune.
The more remote and traditional tribes-people
have pierced earlobes, which over the years
have become stretched by the weight of heavy
gold or brass rings, and beautifully
elaborate tattoos. Local jewelry and designs
are intricate and powerful, often giving
messages to be passed down from generation to
generation.
The most common starting points for many
journeys and adventures on the island are
Balikpapan and Samarinda, the provincial
capital. Traveling along the extensive
Mahakam river system is a fascinating
adventure. River boats slide unobtrusively
through heavily silt - laden waters, wild
orchids drip off trees, Proboscis monkeys
signal your arrival to the crocodiles and
legendary hornbills.
A 5,000acre Orchid Reservation close to the
village of Kersil I cultivates 27 different
species of orchid including the very rare
Cologenia Pandurata or black orchid.
