Borneo, the land below the wind

Executive summary by Darmansjah

Think of borneo, and you think of dense, uexplored rainforest, while water rafting, majestic Mount Kota Kinabalu,

 Mount Kinabalu

and the famous wild orang utan. 

In the Indonesian part of Borneo, Balikpapan, a former Dutch settlement, overlooks the beautiful makassar Straits on the east, 

and Pontianak lies right on the Equator on the west coast, 

Kota Kinabalu, in the Malaysian part of Borneo, sits in the UNESCO 



World Heritage site far up in the north, in the shadow of its mighty namesake. Take trips inland to trek in the rainforest and visit orang utan sanctuaries and traditional villages; relax on sunny sandy beaches, dive among ancient shipwrecks. Enjoy a complete change of pace, and come back with a stack of memorable photos to show your friends!.
