With 5 provinces in its territory, the heart of Borneo boasts biodiverse rainforest and home to wildlife including orangutans, sun bears, civets, fruit bats, etc. Also the homeland to the hill and forest-dwelling ethnic minority of Dayak people.
Most of foreigners only know Kalimantan (Borneo) as a rainforest or the orangutans. But actually it has more if we have much time to explore further. If you don't have much time to go travel around due to your work in office, so why don't spend your leisure time as voyeurs. LOL
Just sit tight, bro & sis.. you can witness the amazing world with your ass sticking to your chair/floor. So here are some photos of the off-beaten path travel destinations in Indonesian Borneo:

5 hours road trip by car from the nearest big city, Berau might be a pain in the ass. But what is waiting you in finish line is really worth for such a long journey.
The "magical" water in the lake is divided into 2 layers. Fresh water on the surface and the salt water deep inside the lake floor. You can also witness the color gradient of two different water density in the middle part.
