Practical
Connectivity, currency, and other everyday practical details for your trip.
What facilities are actually available right now?
More complete than many people expect. Toilets, a prayer room, free drinking water, a range of food and drink, and a health post with a medical team and ambulance are now available at Rest Area IKN and around Plaza Seremoni. For fuel, still fill up before leaving Balikpapan or Samarinda.
What currency do I need, and are there ATMs?
Indonesian Rupiah is the currency, QRIS is widely accepted, and ATMs already exist, though not necessarily right on the tourist route.
What's the connectivity like, will I have phone signal and WiFi?
Solid. IKN runs on Indonesia's first 5G Standalone network, and if you already have Indonesian mobile service, you're set.
