Palangkaraya

The town of Palangkaraya in central Kalimantan has little to offer the western tourist other than the nearby airport, as a base to the mountains and jungle around Loksado.

Banjarmasin

Banjarmasin is also called the Venice of Kalimantan. A big part of daily life takes place at the confluence of the rivers Martapura and Barito.

The floating market, the monkey islands and the diamond mines are definitely worth a 3-day visit to Banjarmasin.

Loksado

About a 4-hour drive from Banjarmasin is the mountain town of Loksado, on the flanks of Mount Gunung Meratus. Beautiful walks can be made on the mountain. From the Meratus you can make a rafting with a bamboo raft.

There are also a number of traditional Dayak villages in the area and at the village of Pandak Daun you can see how the water buffalo are familiar with the lake and swim to their stables in the afternoon.
