Overland Travel Across Borders: A Tale of Two Frontiers
Entikong Tebedu Kuching Pontianak Jungle Highway
The entire 1,881-kilometer land border between Indonesia and Malaysia is located on the island of Borneo, a line that cuts through some of the world’s oldest and most biodiverse rainforests. This is a frontier defined by its wild, remote setting and the rich indigenous cultures that have inhabited the land for centuries.

The primary and most accessible crossing for you is at Entikong in Indonesia’s West Kalimantan province, which connects to Tebedu in the Malaysian state of Sarawak. This crossing lies on the main highway linking the major cities of Kuching and Pontianak. While several other very remote crossings exist, Entikong-Tebedu is the only one equipped to handle international travelers with relative ease.
