Hotels in Kalimantan, Indonesia

Kalimantan is the Indonesian part of Borneo, straddling the equator with a hot, humid tropical climate averaging 80°F (27°C) year-round, famous for its ancient rainforests and orangutans. The dry season from June to September is perfect for river cruises on the Mahakam or Kapuas to spot proboscis monkeys, while the wet season from October to May brings higher water levels for boat trips to the remote Dayak longhouses. You can trek to the summit of Mount Kinabalu for sunrise views over the jungle, or dive in the clear waters of Derawan Archipelago to see sea turtles-all without breaking the bank if you visit during the off-peak rainy months.
