North Kalimantan, Province on Borneo island, Indonesia
North Kalimantan extends across 72,275 square kilometers of northeastern Borneo, featuring dense rainforests, river systems, and coastal areas along the Celebes Sea.
The Indonesian government established North Kalimantan as an independent province on November 17, 2012, separating it from the larger East Kalimantan administrative region.
The province contains multiple ethnic communities, including the Tidung, Bulungan, Dayak, and Bugis peoples, each maintaining their traditional languages and customs.
Transportation within North Kalimantan relies primarily on Tarakan Airport and river networks, as many roads remain unpaved and difficult to navigate.
North Kalimantan shares international borders with two Malaysian states, Sabah and Sarawak, making it a strategic point for cross-border trade and migration.
