Situated in the remote interior highlands of Borneo island, this district occupies the eastern portion of the Krayan region along the international border with Malaysia's Sarawak state. Krayan Timur covers an area of approximately 1,200 square kilometers of mountainous terrain characterized by dense tropical rainforests and river systems. The district has a population of around 8,000-10,000 people, primarily consisting of indigenous Dayak communities, particularly the Lundayeh ethnic group who maintain traditional agricultural practices and cultural traditions. Krayan Timur is administratively divided into several villages (desa) including Long Bawan, Pa' Betung, and Pa' Umur, which serve as the main population centers and administrative hubs. The district is renowned for its production of high-quality organic Adan rice, a unique variety cultivated through traditional methods in the highland valleys. Access to Krayan Timur is challenging due to its remote location, with limited road connections and reliance on small aircraft for transportation to major centers. This district provides access to postal code information for its constituent villages, facilitating communication and administrative services for residents in this border region.
