Palangkaraya is the capital of Central Kalimantan on Indonesian Borneo, on the Kahayan river. It was laid out with unusually wide avenues, having been planned in the hope of becoming the national capital, and remains low-rise and spread out.
River trips on the Kahayan and the Rungan are the main activity, and the Nyaru Menteng orangutan rehabilitation centre nearby is among the best known in Borneo. The peat swamp forests around the city are ecologically significant, and Dayak culture is documented in the provincial museum.
Motorcycle taxis and shared vehicles cover the city, which is too spread out to walk. Boats are the traditional means of travel in the region, and the airport connects to Jakarta and Surabaya.
The drier months around the middle of the year are easier for river travel. Haze from peat fires can seriously affect air quality in dry spells, which is worth checking before travelling.
Indonesia uses the IDR, calling code +62.
Indonesia uses the rupiah, and Indonesian is the common language with Dayak languages spoken in the region. Manner is relaxed, and cash is essential outside the city.
