Indonesia - Balikpapan
In the heart of an unsung part of Borneo, Balikpapan is Kalimantan’s gateway city. Most venture here for business reasons, in particular the mining industry. Yet the city still has the feel of an undiscovered corner of Asia, blending Bugis, Javanese, Dayaks and foreigners into a diverse ethnic melting pot. Fringed by jungles and sea, Balikpapan retains an otherworldly charm even as the city modernises.

Fast Facts
 

Visit a jungle trail, trekking through dense foliage beneath the rainforest canopy. Spend a day with the orang utans of Wanariset Samboja Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre. Then take an hour’s flight to Berau, to hit the beach and relax – take off diving and snorkelling, or explore the nearby islands.
