Puncak Pandan Mekar is a local hilltop viewpoint overlooking Samarinda and the Mahakam River — great for skyline panoramas, river reflections and sunset colors. Accessible by road with limited parking; best at golden hour (sunrise for soft light, sunset for dramatic skies). Weekdays and early mornings are quieter. Expect local visitors and small food stalls; dress respectfully.
