North Hulu Sungai, Administrative regency in South Kalimantan, Indonesia

Description

North Hulu Sungai is a regency in South Kalimantan divided into ten administrative districts, including Danau Panggang and Babirik. The landscape consists of dense forest and wetland areas typical of Kalimantan's interior regions.

History

The regency was shaped by territorial reorganizations when northern districts separated to form Tabalong Regency in 1965, and eastern areas became Balangan Regency in 2003. These changes continue to define its current boundaries and administrative divisions.

Culture

The population of 233,412 residents maintains Indonesian traditions through local governance structures spanning 214 rural villages and five urban administrative units.

Practical

Amuntai serves as the administrative center where most services and offices are located. Visitors should start there to learn about local conditions and access to the other districts.

Did you know?

The region is shaped by river systems that transport water and nutrients through the forests, influencing the lives of local communities. These waterways naturally connect the various districts together.
