Central Kalimantan

Central Kalimantan extends from the Java Sea to Borneo’s mountainous interior, encompassing vast peat-swamp lowlands, river basins and tropical forest. Palangka Raya, the provincial capital, stands beside the Kahayan River, one of the waterways that has long shaped travel and settlement across this sparsely populated interior. The province is closely associated with Dayak communities and Kaharingan, an indigenous belief system practised by many Dayak people. In the south-west, Tanjung Puting National Park protects lowland forest and is internationally known for orangutan conservation.
