Mahakam Ulu shares borders with Kapuas Hulu (West Kalimantan) to the west; Murung Raya, North Barito (Central Kalimantan), and West Kutai to the south, Kutai Kartanegara to the east, and Malinau to the north. It is also the only regency in East Kalimantan to share an international land border with the Malaysian state of Sarawak (Kapit), to the north. Mahakam Ulu is also notorious for being geographically isolated from the rest of East Kalimantan. As a result, the public services and transportation access are still minimal.[6]
