Finding a Little Piece of Nirvana in Kalimantan


The trip to Indonesia’s pristine rainforests of Kalimantan is just as rewarding as the destination. (JG Photo/Nadia Bintoro)

You haven’t really visited Kalimantan until you’ve visited its rainforests. But the question for most tourists is, how?
While the third-largest island in the world is filled with exuberant tropical rainforests, many of them are remote and not easily accessible from major cities. The ones that can be reached tend to be wildly overgrown with no guided paths. For the casual tourist, this makes seeing the island’s greatest treasures a logistical nightmare.
That’s where Loksado comes in. The tiny village, situated about 171 kilometers from South Kalimantan’s capital Banjarmasin, has become a meeting point for those wanting to explore the wilds of Kalimantan without getting lost in the wilderness.
Located at the foot of the Meratus mountain range, Loksado is home to the native Dayak Meratus tribe. Unfamiliar to many Indonesians, Loksado is gaining an international reputation as the best base for trekking into the lush rainforests of South Kalimantan.
I came to Loksado with a group of 20 people. Fueled by our desire to experience real jungle life, we squeezed ourselves into four minibuses and ventured off on a 17-hour ride on the bumpy highway from Balikpapan, East Kalimantan.
The road was full of holes and sharp turns, a far cry from the smooth toll roads of Jakarta. You’ll need a strong stomach not to get car sick on this roller coaster ride.
If your time is limited and you’d prefer to get right down to business, several airlines fly directly to Banjarmasin. From there, you can continue by car (Rp 30,000, or $3.25, for three hours) and then by angkot, or public minivan, for another hour for just Rp 10,000.
