July and August, in some years stretching through September, can be dry in tropical Central Kalimantan. River levels can drop significantly and upper river destinations become accessible only by smaller canoes. River communities are always happy to welcome visitors, whatever the season and children are quick to make friends. The holiday brings many people to local beauty spots. Bukit Batu, near Kasongan, is a favourite place in which to relax and pray for good fortune by festooning the rocks with yellow ribbons of cloth, and watch the sun go down after a hot day.
