Central Borneo has unique tribes that are rich in culture and tradition like no other. The tribe you will visit is almost similar to American Indians for their clothes and traditional dances. The area has iconic primates such as Orang Utan and proboscis monkeys.
We would like you to join our Orang Utan and Dayak Cultural Tour. This tour supports small local business in Palangkaraya, the capital city of Central Borneo. Small local business include batik makers and the Spirit of Hornbill Dance Academy in Palangkaraya.
