MAHAKAM ULU: 31-Hour Boat Ride to Dayak River Tribes of East Borneo
In today's video, I go on an extraordinary journey to Mahakam Ulu, to meet the Dayak River tribes, deep inside East Kalimantan, Indonesia. I first ride from Balikpapan to Samarinda, to find a boat that will take me up there.
Brace yourself for a thrilling 31-hour boat ride up the majestic Mahakam River, where I explore the hidden gems of Mahakam Ulu. I visit villages like Long Melaham and Long Bagun, and meet the remarkable Dayak Bahau, Kayan, and Kenyah tribes. We taste traditional alcohol, learn about their story and experience some of the rituals.
This is a rare opportunity to witness an uncharted expedition and experience the challenges of reaching Mahakam Ulu.
Get ready for a remarkable adventure that few have seen before!
