Where should you go in Indonesian Borneo (Kalimantan) in october when it comes to the weather?
Remember:
The climate in Indonesian Borneo (Kalimantan) in october ranges from good to bad depending on the region and city.
October is not the best month to go to in Kalimantan (Borneo). The weather in Batuampar, Betung Kerihun National Park, Banjarmasin, Bidukbiduk, Mempawah, Singkawang, Sesulu, Pelaihari, Teluk Tamiang, Palangkaraya, Muara Teweh, Puruk Cahu, Balikpapan, Barabai, Pemangkat, Temajuk, Banjarbaru, Martapura, Bontang, Handil, Samarinda, Kota Pagatan, Gunung Palung National Park, Borneo (Pontianak), Pangkalan Bun, Tenggarong, Kutai National Park, Sebatik, Amuntai, Tanjung Puting National Park, Sampit and Lontar is just ok. The sun is not there all the time and you risk you to be soaked by rain regularly. However, if you don't plan a beach and relaxation holiday in Kalimantan (Borneo) but rather cultural visits or hiking, this climate may suit. In addition, there are definitely fewer tourists during this period.
But it gets worse: in Bunyu, Tarakan, Putussibau, Derawan Islands, Kakaban Island, Tanjung Selor and Danau Sentarum National Park and surrounding areas where the climate is even worse. We really do not recommend you to go to these areas in october.
