In this 4-day tour of authentic Toraja experience, we take you into the rainforest of central Sulawesi to meet one the major ethnic group in the island. Torajans are known for their unique and complex death ceremonies and unusual ways of burial. Visit the unique stone graves in Lemo, where the people bury the deceased ones on a side of a cliff and hang wooden statue representing them. Also, step into the eerie yet mystical baby graves where they bury the child inside the trees. But beside that, being up in the highlands with lofty mountains and cliffs that protect the area, the land offers amazing landscapes and breathtaking views.
Welcome to the island of Celebes, an exotic and wild island with a very particular shape. Sulawesi has an impressive variety of animal species, tropical plants, and two extravagant ethnic groups; the mountainous Toraja, and the Bugis sailors.
Upon arrival in Toraja Airport, the guide will pick you up and take you to the hotel for check-in. In the afternoon, we will visit the market and the town to get to know the local life of the Torajas.

Accommodation: Hotel in Toraja
We will have two days of adventure in the Toraja Lands. It will be two days to explore not only its incredible landscapes but also its remarkable culture. And it is time to discover it during our stay in this magical land. The local people, mostly Christians, still practice animism according to their original religion called Aluk Todolo. Are you ready to soak up the Toraja culture?
We will visit Lemo with the cemetery on the rock walls and all the wooden statues called Tau-Tau that represent their deceased. The town of Ke’te Kesu, one of the oldest in Toraja where you will see the typical houses called “Tongkonan”. You will also see other hanging tombs in one of its caves. And in the towns of Bori, Nanggala, Suaya, are the baby graves in the trees. We may find it strange, but it is something that is part of this millenary culture. During your stay in this land of spirits, with “luck”, we can see their funeral rites up close. These picturesque funerals are frequent, but not every day, so we can’t assure you will see them. When we attend them, as an offering to the family, tourists are asked to donate about 100,000 Rupiah.
In addition to these visits, we will visit its attractive markets where the local people carry out their daily transactions. Every week there is a bigger market, so if you are here as it takes place, we will also take the opportunity to visit it.

Our favourite time for travel in Indonesia is between April to October. Although Indonesia is a great year-round destination, offering memorable experiences for all kinds of adventures. July to August are the peak summer months.
In West to Central part of the weather is delightfully warm and it’s a popular time for travellers to visit for holidays. Whilst if you wish to travel from October to April, the Eastern part Indonesia like Banda and Raja Ampat would be the best option.
If you wish to have a relaxing journey in Indonesia with less crowds, the shoulder months of April to June and September to October are ideal and slightly more economic. If you must travel in ‘high season’ but want to avoid the crowd, worry not. There are numbered of unbeaten track in Indonesia ready to be explored.
