Tanjung Puting National Park
Most travellers arrive in Pangkalan Bun for one reason: the extraordinary orangutans of Tanjung Puting National Park. This modern Mercure – the first international hotel chain in Central Borneo – serves as the comfortable bookend to what will likely be a multi-day klotok boat cruise through the jungle. After hours on a traditional wooden houseboat (or before heading out), the contrast is welcome: proper beds, hot showers, air conditioning, and a pool to decompress. It's not the main event, but it makes the adventure considerably more civilised.
