Pangkalan Bun is a sub district, and capital of the West Kotawaringin district. The bustling little town was once the seat of power of the Kutaringin Sultanate in the reign of Sultan Imanudin reign in 1811-1814. The legacy of the sultanate can be found at the Keraton Kuning or Yellow Palace, in the heart of Pangkala Bun. The palace itself is reconstruced, since the original site was burnt down in 1986. Historically, the Kutaringin Sultanate was once a district of the Banjar Kingdom which emerged as a separate sultanate during the reign of Sultan Banjar IV Mustainbillah. The Sultanate came under the rule of Javanese Majapahit Kingdom, and therefore traces of Javanese culture are found abundant in the area.
About an hour’s drive from downtown Pangkalan Bun, a relaxing scene awaits at the Kubu Beach. The beach is a 3Km gulf of relatively flat surface, where the water is calm and perfect for recreational activities. There are also areas which are perfect spots for fishing. Along the shores, visitors can also watch and took part in the activities of the fishermen, as Kubu is also known as a fishing village.
