Pulau Kalimantan - Borneo (Regional Travel Guide)

Borneo (Regional Travel Guide) - Wild orangutans swing through jungle canopies, Irrawaddy dolphins play in the shimmering waters of the South China Sea and saltwater crocs watch boats gliding down the river in search of Dayak longhouses.” – Daniel Robinson, Lonely Planet Writer Our Promise - You can trust our travel information because Lonely Planet authors visit the places we write about, each and every edition. We never accept freebies for positive coverage, and you can rely on us to tell it like we see it. This book is a huge step BACKWARDS by Lonely Planet. Compared to the previous edition content has been cut back seriously, and the chapter covering Kalimantan (Indonesian Borneo, which covers 73% of the island) is so slim it is now almost useless. The entire huge province of West Kalimantan has been totally omitted from this edition, never mind that it has, among other things, the only land crossing between Malaysian and Indonesian Borneo. The coverage of the remaining three K

Kalimantaan - C. S. Godshalk's First Novel Is An Adventure Story

Gambar
C. S. Godshalk's first novel is an adventure story in which the excitement is as much mental as physical. In 1838, Gideon Barr sets sails for Borneo, the land he intends to rule. We first see this empire builder through relatives' letters, and he emerges as singularly unbalanced yet singularly driven. He is also, it appears, almost infallible, applying more subtle techniques than the usual smash-and-grab. Gideon is no less forceful in his personal life: he is the sort who will return to England to wed his cousin but bring back her daughter instead--not out of love or attraction, but out of Darwinian common sense. This flawed hero is only the first in an endless procession of brilliantly drawn men who blend civility with violence, innocence with calm brutality. Some go to Borneo to obliterate their English past; others never had one, having been out to sea at 8 or 9. And the natives are as contradictory as their imperial masters: "Honest, gentle, respectful of even their

The island is deeply steeped in ancient tribal history, which still heavily influences Borneo today.

Visit Borneo Malaysia

Visit Borneo Malaysia – BORNEO, Straddling the equator and dominated by luxuriant rainforests, Borneo is the third largest island in the world, its territory apportioned unevenly between the countries of Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei.   A tropical paradise with unspoilt, endless white sandy beaches, the oldest and most bio-diverse rainforest on Earth, and an abundance of natural wonders.   The two states of Sarawak and Sabah make up the Malaysian part of the island of Borneo, and are separated from West Malaysia by the South China Sea.  Sarawak stretches some 800km along the northwest coasts and directly adjoins the State of Sabah to the north-east, where the sultanate of Brunei forms a double enclave.  Inland, the State borders with Kalimantan, Indonesia. As can only be expected, 21st-century Borneo is a fast-changing place, but despite the fast pace of change, indigenous culture remains ingrained in the various lifestyles of Borneo's inhabitants.  Beyond the Malay-dominated

British brothers Lawrence and Lorne Blair set out in the 1960s on a marvelous, thought-provoking, ten-year adventure through the 3,000-mile length of the remote Indonesian archipelago. Inspired by a dog-eared copy of Alfred Russell Wallace's The Malay Archipelago -and his nineteenth century voyage of scientific exploration and discovery--their unforgettable odyssey set sail out of the Celebes (Sulawesi) for the Spice Islands on a perilous schooner crossing with the seafaring Bugis. Tossed to and fro from home port Makassar to isolated Aru Island-stalked all the way by rotting ship beams and the specter of pirates-they were rewarded with one of the rarest sights on earth-the fluffy wh

Pulau Kalimantan–Borneo Island

East Borneo - Kalimantan Timur As a major producer of oil and timber, East Kalimantan is at present the most industrially advanced province of the island and the second largest province in Indonesia. It is also the home of the original inhabitants of Kalimantan, the Orang Gunung or Mountain People. The tribes are collectively called Dayak, although this name is not embraced by many tribes-people themselves, who prefer to be known by separate tribal names such as Iban, Punan and Banuaq. Local tribes traditionally live in communal long houses called Lamin or Umaq Daru. They are built on wooden piles, sometimes 3 meters high as protection against wild animals and flooding. The Punan people are nomadic hunter-gatherers, and only use the long house at the height of the rainy season.Steeped in tradition, the interior of the long house is typically divided into separate family quarters with a communal areas connecting each of the families. It is in these communal areas that village mee

The Ecology of Kalimantan

The Ecology of Kalimantan: Indonesian Borneo - Kalimantan , the Indonesian part of the island of Borneo, is a global centre for biodiversity. Because of its rich supply of natural resources, Kalimantan has also been a key player in Indonesia's economic development.

Banjarmasin Kalimantan Selatan-Kota Seribu Sungai

Sebagai ibu kota provinsi, Banjarmasin memiliki peran yang penting di kawasan selatan Borneo. Kota ini pun memiliki sejarah yang panjang. Kisah Banjarmasin bermula dari pemukaman yang disebut Oloh Masih yang dihuni oleh warga suku Melayu. Letaknya yang berada persis di tepi sungai menjadikan tempat ini ramai disinggahi oleh para pedagang dari berbagai daerah di Kalimantan dan lambat laun dikenal dengan Bandarmasih dan di bawah pimpinan seorang tokoh yang bergelar Patih Masih. Suatu ketika, Pangeran Samudera diangkat menjadi raja. Tapi hal itu rupanya tidak disukai oleh penguasa dari Negara Daha, Pangeran Tummenggung. Ketegangan antara kedua kerajaan itupun tak dapat dihindari. Untuk memenangkan perang, Pangeran Samudera meminta bantuan dari Kesultanaan Demak, yang kala itu adalah kesultanaan besar di Jawa. Pihak Demak pun setuju untuk membantu dengan syarat, Raja Banjar itu bersedia memeluk ajaran Islam. Sang pangeran menyetujui dan alhasil, balatentaranya pun semakin besar dan kua
