Located in Tabalong Regency of South Kalimantan, the Tanjung Puri Tabalong Botanical Garden is a relatively new gem in Indonesia’s green tourism landscape. This garden showcases a mix of ornamental, medicinal, and fruit-bearing plants arranged in thematic zones. Developed with a vision of preserving biodiversity while nurturing local pride, it is a source of inspiration and education for both locals and visitors.
The layout is family-friendly and encourages exploration, with wide, shaded paths and informative plant markers. The garden incorporates several cultural elements, such as a replica of a traditional rumah Banjar and a pavilion for storytelling events. It’s a place where ecology meets local history.
Tabalong is an area rich in Banjar tradition—marked by its elegant architecture, respectful social customs, and love for river-based culture. This is often reflected in the garden’s events and displays. Visitors may find seasonal exhibitions of woven fabrics or small culinary fairs celebrating forest fruits and spices.
Everyone is welcome at Tanjung Puri, from young students and local families to international guests. Guided tours and school programs run regularly, making it a lively yet serene destination.
