Experience the ultimate challenge!
Crossing one of the most rugged islands on earth from East to West
is one of the greatest adventure in Indonesia.
Using roads, rivers and feet we traverse the jungle of Kalimantan
(Indonesian Borneo). You must have a good level of fitness and
adventurous spirit and a strong sense of determination, as
conditions and accommodations are challenging.
This trip is different with other kinds of travel to Indonesia, and
not so many Indonesia travel tour agent is able to arrange it.
We will use busses, public house
boat, chartered motorized canoes to access the jungle for a rugged
days of trekking. We sleep in the simple houses of the villager with
basic facilities and on the house boats. The trekking is tough and
often wet, the only way to appreciate the primary jungle of
Kalimantan and the most traditional Dayak Tribes settlements as well
as the wildlife.
