Palangkaraya, the capital of Central Kalimantan, is an unmissable destination for its unique blend of traditional and modern culture. The vibrant city is home to the impressive Tanjung Puting National Park, a protected area known for its orangutan conservation efforts and stunning waterways. Travellers also rave about the city's night market, Pasar Seni, where they can discover local handicrafts and try exotic street food. The best time to visit Palangkaraya is during the dry season from May to September, when the weather is cooler and drier. For first-timers, we recommend hiring a local guide to navigate the city's waterways and get the most out of their visit, as it's a unique and immersive way to experience the city's culture and natural beauty.
Budget travellers can explore Palangkaraya for around $20/day, covering basic accommodation (from $9/night) and street meals (from $2 each). Mid-range travellers should budget $38/day with comfortable hotels from $13/night. Upscale stays start at $23/night. All figures in USD based on 20+ live listings.
