East Barito Regency

East Barito is an administrative district in the heart of Central Kalimantan with diverse landscapes and settlements. The area comprises several administrative divisions spread across tropical forests and river systems.

The area was established as an independent administrative district in 2002 following its separation from South Barito. This division was part of the administrative restructuring in the Kalimantan region.

The region maintains the traditions of Maanyan communities, whose language and way of life shape the identity of the area. Visitors can observe local crafts and daily routines of residents in the various settlements.

The best time to explore is during the dry season when roads and waterways are more accessible. Good preparation for tropical conditions and local transport options is advisable for reaching the various settlements.

The administrative center lies east of Palangka Raya and through its location has developed independent connections to southern provinces. This geographic position shapes the district's character and trade relationships in unexpected ways.
