Kalimantan Maps and Orientation
(Kalimantan, Indonesia)
Located on the island of Borneo, Kalimantan is home to a population of approximately 12 million people. Kalimantan forms the main southern region and encompasses some 70% of Borneo, while to the north, both East
Malaysia and Brunei are to be found.
Since Kalimantan covers such a vast area, getting around can be quite difficult and time consuming, and tours prove to be popular with holiday makers. There are three main ethnic groups residing here - the Malay Indonesians, the Chinese, and the indigenous Dayak tribes.
