Visit Kalimantan Selatan


Kalimantan Selatan is a province in Indonesia located on the island of Borneo. It is known for its lush rainforest, unique wildlife and beautiful beaches. The capital city of the province is Banjarmasin, which serves as an important trading port for commodities such as rubber, coal, and timber.

One popular tourist attraction in Kalimantan Selatan is Tanjung Puting National Park where you can explore the natural beauty of this tropical paradise. You can also take a boat tour to observe orangutans, monkeys and other exotic wildlife species along the Sekonyer River. For a cultural experience visit Kamboja Village which has traditional houses constructed out of bamboo thatched roofs, small farms and paddies with ducks swimming around them - all surrounded by tall coconut trees.

An interesting historical fact about Kalimantan Selatan is that it was once part of the Sultanate of Banjar which was founded by Sherif Salehuddin in 1526 and lasted until 1886 when it was annexed by Dutch East Indies forces who declared it part of their territory.
