Toraja Village

Reviewed By ElizabethBeka - Liverpool, United Kingdom

Toraja is situated in the north of makassar the capital of south sulawesi and has a culture that is still unique to be seen until nowdays also has beautiful natural scenery. Toraja's unique culture is important and interesting to see such as:Various of burial sites,the dead effigies,the dead person is still kept in the family house,Traditional houses and rice barns and the most interesting to see in Toraja is the traditional ceremonies such as:The funeral ceremony,wedding and a new house ceremony also ma'nene ritual but we didn't see the ma'nene ritual because we visited Toraja in february 2020. Toraja has incredible views for the nature such as:ricefield terraces,beautiful views of countryside with local houses,mountains,hills,bamboo forest even Toraja has very good coffee that's why we could see coffee plantations beside cacao plantations everywhere around the region. Torajan people are nice people and really welcoming also very tolerant. When we explored Toraja for 2 days a culture tour and 2 days trekking tour, we had a very memorable trip with an experienced and a very professional local guide Mr.Arru. Don't hesitate to contact Mr.Arru if the travelers will need information about Toraja tour and trekking,rafting,Toraja traditional ceremonies information and so on.he is a reliable and great guide in Toraja.

Batutumongga

Reviewed By yimin516 - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

A place to look at the paddy rice terrace from top, with buffaloes, stones and Tongkonan scattered in between. A beautiful viewpoint you would come to when you are visiting the stone graves as this is where they have huge stones in Tana Toraja. There is a resort if you wish to spend a day or two here.

Bori' Parinding

It is a combination of ceremonial grounds and burials. The ceremonial ground is an open space used for traditional ceremonies, including rituals for the dead and thanksgiving.

Many tours go there but after doing one tour in the south we walked there from Rantepao the next day. We walked the long quiet route via maps.me which took 3 hours through small villages. The large burrial stones are over 100 years old. Its 30,000 idr to get in. The buildings are well kept. The burial caves are intesting as well as the baby tree. We took a couple ojaks back to the town.
