Tana Toraja Indonesia: Travel Guide & Best Things To Do

The remote land of Tana Toraja, Indonesia (on Sulawesi island) is known for having one of the most bizarre and unique cultures in the world.

We spent several days there in 2020, and even managed to visit a traditional Tana Toraja funeral with the invitation of some friendly locals.

Tanah Toraja is a fascinating journey, with its unique cliffside graves, karst mountains, and notoriously unusual funeral customs and beliefs.

This travel guide will explain how to get to Tana Toraja, where to stay, all the best things to do, and everything else you need to know before you go!

Tana Toraja Culture In A Nutshell

The local religion in Toraja is called Aluk To Dolo (‘Way of the Ancestors’). It’s based on animist myths and traditions, infused with some elements of Protestant Christianity brought to Sulawesi by the Dutch in the 1920s.

Toraja culture is focused on death and the afterlife, and you can see this in the famously elaborate funeral ceremonies where they have days of feasting, dancing, and the slaughter of buffalos and pigs. The funeral is central to Toraja culture.

We enjoyed seeing the artistic tongkonan houses with their iconic curved rooftops, and exploring the hundreds of peculiar grave sites carved into the cliffs, caves, and boulders.

Toraja people are very friendly and welcoming to foreigners!

Where Is Tana Toraja?

The Tana Toraja regency is located in the highlands of south Sulawesi island in Indonesia.

The main town of Rantepao sits in a scenic mountain area surrounded by limestone karsts, rivers, and rice terraces, so it’s a great place to explore.

How To Get To Tana Toraja

Tana Toraja, Indonesia can be reached by air, bus, or private car.

You can find more info on each option below. Flying to Toraja is the easiest, but bus is the cheapest. Driving there in a car may be best for groups.  

All flights to Toraja have to transit first in Makassar (UPG), and then you can fly directly to the new Tana Toraja airport (TRT) which was just completed in 2020. The flight from Makassar to Toraja takes 1 hour and costs about 1 million Rupiah ($70 USD) for a one way ticket.

You can shop for flights to Makassar and Tana Toraja at Skyscanner. Lion Air operates this flight daily, and I would guess other airlines may start doing the route soon too since it was just opened recently.

Once you reach the airport, it’s a 1 hour drive into town, and a taxi will cost about 250k Rupiah. We asked our hotel to combine our airport pickup with a half day tour of Toraja, so we paid 400k total. This worked out great because we got to see some things on our first day there.

Personally, I think flying is the best way to get to Toraja Indonesia nowadays, but going by bus or car can have its own advantages as well. I’ve described these options below.  

The new Tana Toraja airport with its Tongkonan rooftop

There’s a daily morning or night bus to Tana Toraja from the bus terminal in Makassar.

The bus ride from Makassar to Rantepao takes about 9 or 10 hours and there are several stops along the way. The bus departure times from both Makassar and Toraja are 9 AM for the morning bus, or 9 PM for the night bus.

This is a very long journey, but it could make sense for solo travelers on a strict budget. It costs around 200k Rupiah per person (one way).  

A car + driver can be hired to take you from Makassar to Tanah Toraja for about 750k to 1 million Rupiah ($50-70). This is the most cost effective option if you’re traveling in a group with several people. The drive takes 8+ hours and the road is in good condition.

Alternatively, you can rent a car to self drive from Makassar for about 600k Rupiah, but I wouldn’t recommend this unless you’re already experienced with driving in Indonesia.

How To Get Around Toraja

Once you arrive in Tanah Toraja, the best way to explore the area is to hire a car + driver or rent a scooter.

It’s very cheap to hire a driver in Toraja. Our hotel owner was happy to show us around to all of the tourist sites for 400k Rupiah per day.

Best Things To Do In Toraja Indonesia

The cliff side graves at Lemo are one of Tanah Toraja’s most famous sights.

The first thing you’re greeted by is a row of creepy Tau-Tau statues staring down at you, as if they’re guarding the graves.

Lemo is very accessible. Our hotel owner took us there while driving us from the airport to our homestay in Rantepao.

Londa is a burial ground with two deep limestone caves filled with coffins and bones.

If you follow the caves far enough back, they connect with each other by a series of tunnels. A flashlight will be handy, otherwise you can rent a lantern at the entrance.

Londa is easy to combine with Lemo and other sights in south Tanah Toraja.

3. Kete Kesu

This is a popular collection of Toraja traditional houses (tongkonan) with a cave cemetery in the background.

Personally, I didn’t think the houses at Kete Kesu were as nice as the ones at Palawa (more on that later).

4. Yesus Buntu Burake

Torajan religion was mixed with Christianity after the colonials arrived, and it’s reflected in a giant Jesus Christ statue that stands on the hill above Makale.

It’s the second tallest Jesus statue in the world (after the famous one in Sao Paolo, Brazil), and you can drive all the way up to it from Makale. No hiking needed.

5. Buntu Pune

This is a small group of graves and Torajan traditional houses (tongkonan) that seem to be mostly overlooked by tourists.

Buntu Pune is located right in Rantepao , so you can reach it easily without a tour. We walked from our hotel in 5 minutes.

6. Bori Kalimbuang

Bori is a grave site in north Toraja with megalithic stones that were stood upright and used as headstones. It’s also known for having ‘baby trees’ where babies were buried if they died in infancy.

If you keep following the path, there’s a peculiar looking giant grave stone with more than a dozen tombs in it. I thought it was one of the most fascinating sights in Toraja.

7. Mount Sesean

Mount Sesean is one of the high points near Rantepao, and it has some of the best natural scenery in the area, with rice terraces for miles.

Hiking to the top from Batutumonga takes about 2 hours one way. The trailhead is pretty easy to find, and when you reach the top you get 360 degree views of the Toraja valley.

The peak of Gunung Sesean is 2,100 meters (6,900 feet) in altitude, and it’s one of Toraja’s most popular sunrise spots!

8. Loko Mata

Loko Mata is a giant burial stone on the main road near Batutumonga and Mount Sesean.

This is probably the biggest boulder we saw in Toraja, and it has dozens of tombs carved into the rock on all sides.

It’s a very interesting spot, but I thought the grave stone at Bori was better.

9. Palawa Houses

Palawa has some of the best traditional houses we saw in Tana Toraja.

These tongkonan are well preserved and super photogenic, with rows of water buffalo horns and skulls decorating the front.

It’s a very underrated spot that somehow doesn’t have as many tourists as we saw at places like Kete Kesu.

10. Limbong Lake

This is a lake near Rantepao with limestone karst mountains and water that changes color in the seasons. If you come here in the rainy season, the locals said the water turns a nice blue color.

Even if you visit during the dry season, when the lake is greenish brown, the karsts around the lake make for some pretty spectacular photos.

11. Tana Toraja Funeral

One of the most important events in Tana Toraja, Indonesia is the traditional funeral ceremony. These are extravagant, usually last several days, and involve the gory slaughtering of pigs and buffaloes as a gift/honor to the family of the deceased.

Toraja culture revolves around funerals, and it’s a big draw for international tourists too. Foreigners are very welcome to attend, but as a guest you’ll be expected to buy a small gift for the family (usually a few packs of cigarettes).

If you want to witness a Tana Toraja funeral, the best thing to do is check with your hotel and/or tour guide about when and where the next one will happen. Funeral season is generally July to September.

12. Ma’Nene Ceremony

Toraja’s most shocking and infamous tradition by far is the Ma’Nene ceremony that happens every year after the harvest season.

This is when the relatives’ corpses (dead bodies) are brought out of their graves like zombies , cleaned, and dressed in fresh clothes.

The locals don’t find this disgusting. In their culture, it’s loving and respectful, and they want to stay connected with their lost relatives. Keep in mind it’s an ancient tradition.  

Toraja Entrance Fees

Most tourist sites in Tanah Toraja have entrance fees, which for foreigners tend to be about 30k Rupiah ($2) per person. You pay this at each tourist site.

Where To Stay In Tana Toraja

Most Toraja visitors stay in Rantepao, which is the main town area.

Accommodation is pretty basic, consisting of homestays and small hotels, but the quality and value is surprisingly good.

Here are some of our top picks:

• Rosalina Homestay – Free breakfast/WiFi and the owner was very helpful arranging our airport pickup & Tanah Toraja tours
• Manubackpacker – Outstanding value for a twin room with private bathroom
• Toraja Lodge Hotel – Superior king room with WiFi & breakfast included
• Tongkonan Layuk Lion – Free dinner and breakfast with a village atmosphere and traditional Tongkonan houses
• Toraja Misiliana Hotel – One of the nicest hotels in Toraja, with beautiful grounds, free continental breakfast, and an outdoor pool

These prices may fluctuate from time to time, so just keep an eye out for a good deal.

Other Toraja Tips

• Credit Cards: Everything in Tanah Toraja is cash only. That includes hotels, restaurants, and entrance fees for tourist sites. So keep cash handy.
• ATM: There are plenty of ATMs in Rantepao with standard withdrawal limits. Foreign cards work fine.
• WiFi: Hotels in Rantepao generally have decent WiFi, and it’s quickly improving.
• Cell Service: Our SIM cards from Telkomsel had great reception in the Rantepao area.
• Restaurants: The streetside warungs in Rantepao didn’t seem great, but you can find good food if you look around. Two of our picks would be Raja Babi Waroenk and Monika Cafe & Resto .
• Safety: I’ve traveled all over Sulawesi, both as a solo traveler and also later with my wife. Toraja is very safe, and the locals are quite welcoming to tourists. Just take normal precautions.
• Mosquitoes: I’ve never heard of a tourist getting Malaria from mosquitoes in Tana Toraja. According to this Tribun News article from 2020, there haven’t been any local cases of Malaria in over two years. However, it’s still a good idea to wear repellant while out and about, just in case. Malaria can be nasty and dangerous.
• Apps: The Grab and GoJek ride-hailing apps aren’t available in Rantepao, but taxis and food delivery aren’t too hard to sort out if you need them.

Best Time To Visit Toraja Indonesia

Tanah Toraja’s climate is quite a bit cooler than the rest of Sulawesi, with average temps around 23 Celcius (73 F) all year.

If you want to see the Toraja funerals and Ma’Nene ceremonies, the best time to visit is from July to September (and especially the month of August).

Otherwise, any month is fine for visiting Toraja, although it’s more rainy from November to May.

Tana Toraja

Home to some Sulawesi's most stunning landscapes and one of Indonesia's most compelling traditional cultures, it's no wonder Tana Toraja is high on many bucket lists. The visual allure is immediate, with villages clustered around elaborately carved and painted houses with boat-shaped roofs, and towering terraces of emerald green rice paddies, all of which is overseen by a protective necklace of jagged jungle-clad hills.

Tana Toraja , literally "Torajaland", is a highland region of Southern Sulawesi in Indonesia . This article also covers Toraja Utara (North Toraja Regency).

Tana Toraja, the famed "Land of the Heavenly Kings", lies about 328 km north of Makassar, the capital of South Sulawesi Province, in the central highlands of South Sulawesi.

• -3.086028 119.846861 1 Makale
• -2.969 119.9 2 Rantepao

In the land of the Toraja people, many people are notionally Christian, but most are, in practice, animist. They are above all famed for their spectacular (and rather gruesome) burial rites . After a person's death, the body is kept — often for several months or even years — while money is saved to pay for the actual funeral ceremony, known as tomate . During the festival, which may last up to a week, ritual dances and buffalo fights are held, and buffaloes and pigs are slaughtered to ferry the soul of the deceased to the afterlife ( puya ). The deceased is then finally buried either in a small cave, often with a tau-tau effigy placed in front, inside a hollow tree or even left exposed to the elements in a bamboo frame hanging from a cliff.

Tana Toraja has unique culture set in stunning scenery. Globalisation and tourism may have impact, but if you venture away from the tarmac roads you will find soon a way of life that may seem to a visitor as if it has not changed much in the last 100 years.

Traditional Tongkonan houses stand proudly in this setting. These intricately decorated houses with upward-sloping roofs are the centre of all Aluktodolo (Torajan religion before the coming of missionaries; the ancestors' belief) rites; from storing the harvest in the carved rice barns, "alang", to slaughtering sacred water buffaloes at funeral ceremonies that last a week or longer. Tana Toraja's beauty is also reflected in its people. Although they are mostly devoutly Christian (there is a small number of Muslims especially in the southern area), they combine this religious belief with magic and mysticism, and welcome visitors to witness their ceremonies.

Tana Toraja is a sleepy rural region cultivating rice, cacao, coffee, and cloves most of the year. Toraja's arabica coffee carries a high reputation and is something that visitors may be interested in trying. During the dry season, from June until September, when children are home from school, the rice is harvested and it's time for a "rambu solo'", a complex funeral ceremony of the ancestors. During the time, Rantepao is transformed into a major tourist attraction for national and international visitors. Nevertheless, the region remains far less touristy than many other tourist spots in Indonesia (such as many places in Java or Bali ), perhaps due to the relatively long way to come until there (which includes at least 10 hours of transportation from Makassar ).

At 300 to 2,880 metres above sea level, Tana Toraja combines tropical lushness with alpine freshness, with daily temperatures between 16 and 28 degrees Celsius.

Bright green rice terraces, tall limestone outcrops and bamboo graves are set against a backdrop of blue misty mountains.

Toraja is in the UTC+8 time zone (known in Indonesia as WITA, Waktu Indonesia Tengah ), same as Western Australia , Kuala Lumpur , Singapore , Taiwan , Hong Kong , mainland China , Bali but one hour ahead of Jakarta .

Prime funeral season is after the harvest in July to October.

From the Hasanuddin Airport in Makassar , you can fly to Pongtiku Airport ( Rantepao  IATA ) with a 900-metre runway in Tana Toraja. TransNusa airline and Trigana Air Service fly to Makassar . The flight takes about 55 minutes.

The flight could be cancelled, however, at the last minute due to aircraft maintenance or insufficient passengers.

Buntukunik Airport has a 1,900-meter runway in Tana Toraja. It is going through technical trial operation, and will be opened soon to accommodate ATR 72.

Tana Toraja is a solid 300-km, 8-to-10-hour drive from Makassar with various stops between the route to take some rest. Most companies run both a morning and an overnight bus, with various degrees of comfort.

Frequent mikrolets/bemos leave from Makassar to the Daya Bus Terminal and take about 40 minutes.

The buses from Makassar to Tana Toraja come with various levels of comfort. Routes going further north are generally slower, in poor condition and far less comfortable. The most expensive are luxury class buses with sleepers, relatively clean and comfortable.

Generally, most regular commuters between Makassar and Tana Toraja understand the importance of riding new buses with better engines. Hence the ticket prices differ not only based on the classes but also on the engines as well. Better engine means the price will be more expensive.

Famous companies that provide more comfort include:

• -2.97024 119.89866 1 Departure point of most buses ( main crossing in Rantepao ). ( updated Jul 2016 )
• -2.97087 119.89844 1 Bintang Prima . 185,000 Rp (as of 2016), departure daily at 21:30 from Makassar, and 21:30 from Rantepao, arrival 06:00-07:00 in both directions. The most expensive buses (Scania) are not very clean but offer almost a bed (including blanket and pillow, though probably not washed often). No Wi-Fi, no electricity, no toilet. The bus stops often near Makassar and near Rantepao, but none in between, so make sure you have water and food (and no need to use any toilet). ( updated Jul 2016 )
• -2.96827 119.8998 2 Kharisma . Advertises free Wi-Fi. ( updated Jul 2016 )
• -2.97013 119.89853 3 Litha & co . 200,000 Rp (as of 2016), departure daily 20:30 from Rantepao (arrival 05:00 in Makassar ). Very modern (and fairly comfortable) buses. However note that the air-con temperature is incredibly low; boarding the bus in Rantepao (with an outside temperature of 18-19°) will make you feel like entering a fridge. Be sure to bring tons of warm clothes. No Wi-Fi, no electricity, no toilet. ( updated Jul 2016 )
• Putra Jaya , Veteran Utara No. 198 street, Makassar , ☏ +62 411 3624867 , +62 851 45988883 (Makassar), +62 471 326552 , +62 851 45988882 (Palopo) . Their recent units have 3 classes. VIP Class with electric and massage seats, executive class with reclining seats and leg rests, and sleeping cabin with bed facilities and amenities, plus tap card to gain access to the cabin for added convenience and security. ( updated Jun 2018 )

By taxi or charted vehicle

A chartered car usually costs 850,000 - 1,200,000 Rp one-way from Makassar. It is possible to find one for a few hundred thousand less if you can coordinate with someone who is driving in that direction. If you plan on staying for a few days and would like the return trip as well, a driver with car should cost about 550,000 Rp per day.

Please beware that if you are planning to drive your own car, the stretch of road from Makassar, starting from Maros district area up to the town of Pare Pare is undergoing a road widening works. You may have to suddenly switch onto the opposite lane, because the lane you are on is blocked for the construction work. Be very careful and watch out for this kind of roadblock, because road signs indicating this is virtually non existent. This problem is made incredibly worse during night time by the absence of proper street light, so exercise extreme caution.

The road from the town of Enrekang to Makele (the town before Rantepao) is a stretch of unlit, small, winding, uphill road, accompanied with some fogging and drizzle at night. Along this road, you will frequently come across big buses going downhill from Makele. Gas station is few and far between, with intermittent local shops along the way. Again, these conditions make night time self driving best avoided.

The best way to go around is by motorbike (about 80,000 Rp per day, as of 2016). This said, using public transportation is possible for most sites too.

Most of the spots can be visited without a guide (despite what your hotel will try to make you believe), though a guide may be useful for some of the more distant villages.

Bemo/mikrolet rides run from 2,000 Rp for short rides of a few kilometers up to 10,000 Rp.

• -2.95914 119.91254 2 Bolu Bus Terminal ( 2 km north east from Rantepao ). A good place to find public transportation, especially towards the North of Rantepao. To get there from Rantepao , flag down any bemo (5000 Rp). ( updated Jul 2016 )

Although it can be expensive if you are on a budget, a guide can provide a lot of insight into the local practices and customs. A problem is that most guides are not certified, and will not explain more to you than the Wikipedia page on Tana Toraja.

If you still want to hire a guide, the usual base price for one day is 375,000 Rp (as of 2016), plus the motorbike (about 80,000 Rp) if you don't drive yourself. Of course, the prices quoted first may be much higher. A price of 400,000 Rp for one day and one person that doesn't drive (and hence that will share the guide motorbike) is considered as a reasonably good price, as of 2016. If more than one person, the price shouldn't vary much, although you may need a longer time to bargain!

Of course, guides will try to make you believe that you should pay a lot of extras (lunch, tax, etc.), but it is a grift. A famous scam is to make you believe you will eat in a good restaurant (for which you had to pay in advance), and then change the schedule at the last minute to go immediately to the funeral (and hence skip the restaurant, which probably doesn't even exist).

• -2.96135 119.91158 1 Bolu Buffalo Market ( Pasar Bolu ) ( north of Rantepao; can be accessed by bemo for 5,000 Rp from central Rantepao (as of July 2016) ). Every Tuesday and Saturday (morning) . Free . ( updated Jul 2016 )

Can be accessed by bemo for 15,000 Rp from the Bolu bus terminal (that can be reached itself by bemo for 5,000 Rp from Rantepao) You may have to wait quite some time before the bemo becomes full though ). Several tombs in full nature (in particular a particularly impressive forest of giant bamboos). The site is much less interesting than other equivalent ones in Tana Toraja, but the road reaching Deri is very scenic, with many villages as beautiful as Kete Kesu but without any tourist (nor entrance fee) here. Free . ( updated Jul 2016 )

• -3.04161 119.87753 4 Lemo ( south of Rantepao, near the main road ). Lemo is also a cliff burial site with galleries of ancestor statues. One of the most interesting (and visited) sites. 20,000 Rp . ( updated Jul 2016 )
• -3.01501 119.87605 5 Londa ( south of Rantepao; best is to take a bemo, and then walk for around 2 km from the main road ). Londa is a grave site where two methods of burial are customary. One of the most interesting (and visited) sites. 20,000 Rp . ( updated Jul 2016 )

• Tumakke . The site of Tumakke displays a distinctive traditional house built on a raised terrace. ( updated Jul 2016 )

Itineraries

There are many walks (1-3 hours) that pass by many different types of grave sites, including the most popular sites. Most can be reached by short bemo rides from Rantepao and do not require guides.

Attend a funeral

If you come to Tana Toraja during the funeral season (peak is in July and August), attending a funeral is certainly a must-do.

Funerals (entrance fee 20,000 Rp) are public events and served by public transport. Avoid offers by guides, telling you that they are private or difficult to access!

Your hotel probably will not help you to locate the funeral, claiming it is hard to find by yourself (it is not). In summer, (fake) guides might tell you that you are a lucky person because there is a funeral exactly the day you came. In fact, during the funeral season (July and August), there are funerals virtually every day except perhaps Sunday.

To go to a funeral, simply spot the pick-ups loaded with people with (more or less) black clothes, that go throughout Rantepao all day long. Just flag one down, and they will certainly be happy to have you on board.

The custom is to bring a present for the family of the deceased; most guides will tell you to bring (several packets of) cigarettes, but tea or candies for children can also do.

There is no official tourist information in Tana Toraja, but you may go to Tora Tora Primitive Art Gallery, which has a very friendly English-speaking owner who provides free maps of the area. It is on the main street in Rantepao . Beware of every offer that may look suspicious, though.

Restaurants

There are some restaurants in Rantepao and Makale. They serve menus of Indonesian, Chinese and Western food. Torajan specialties, such as pa'piong (chicken/pork or fish cooked with vegetables in bamboo tubes), are also available and usually must be ordered in advance (usually at least 2 hours).

See the Rantepao page for restaurants in Rantepao. Some restaurants in Makale or along the road between Rantepao and Makale:

• Wae Rumbang, Main Road to Makale, Pao Rura
• Idaman Restaurant, 28 Merdeka St. , Makale
• Rama, Main Road Makale - Rantepao
• Flamboyan, Main Road Makale - Rantepao
• Sallebayu, Ke'te kesu' st.
• Damai, Main Road Makale - Mengkendek, Makale

Local Torajan palm wine, Ballo', is easily found. Buy it on the street. The darker, the stronger but be warned, it can be very strong.

The Tana Toraja region is famed for its coffee. In your local coffee house it will cost a small fortune. Drink the real thing here for a fraction of the cost. There are many places to drink coffee (see the Rantepao listings).

Besides Makassar , Tana Toraja is the only area in the Province of South Sulawesi which owns several star hotels. Some widely known star hotels in Tana Toraja are Toraja Heritage Hotel [dead link] , Toraja Misiliana Hotel , Toraja Prince Hotel and Toraja Sahid Hotel and Tongkonan Layuk Lion. There are also a number of non-star hotels, home-stays and local residences available for accommodation. Most of the hotels provide standard facilities such as single and double bed, hot and cold water, telephone, entertainment, meals while some provide additional ones like sports facility, spa and massage, laundry and others.

Do not get fooled by the relatively more comfortable temperatures than in Makassar (the temperature hardly goes above 28°, and nights tend to be cool): the sun is dangerous here, and you will use a lot of sun screen. Also bring a pullover for outdoor evenings or nights.

It often rains in Tana Toraja, even during the "dry season", and much more than, e.g., in Makassar . As a rule of thumb, it tends to rain more often in the afternoon or evening than in the morning.

There is a low risk of malaria in Tana Toraja. Contact your favorite tropical doctor before departure to decide whether you need a treatment. In any case, try to avoid mosquito bites, as the region is also infected by dengue.

Avoid contact with dogs and other animals that may carry rabies.

The air quality along the main road of Rantepao (along which most touristic facilities are located) is extremely bad, and bringing an N95 mask may be of great help.

The 3G connection is overall bad (and often non-existing) in Tana Toraja. Only parts of Rantepao have 3G, the rest only getting a slow edge network. Most tourist sites (Lemo, Londa...) won't be connected to any Internet network, and sometimes not even to any phone network.

14 Unusual and Exciting Things to Do in Tana Toraja

We’ve shortlisted 14 of the best things to do in Tana Toraja. The activities are in no particular order, so make sure to read all the way to the bottom to ensure you don’t miss anything. Let’s get started!

Lemo is a cliff funeral site 11km to the south of the provincial capital Rantepao. There are 75 niches carved into the walls of the cliff. Some of the niches are tombs, where Torajan dead are buried. Other niches contain rows of large tau-tau statues dressed in colourful clothing.

The wooden statues are effigies of the dead and represent dead nobles from the area. If you walk a little bit up from the cliff and you will find the house of a Tau Tau makers.

The Lemo funeral site dates back to the 16th century. To reach Lemo you need to walk along a small path from the main road between paddy fields. This site is just outside the village of Lemo in the sub district of Mengkendek.

Londa is another Torajan burial ground, though there are actually two funeral sites at Londa. It is similar to both Lemo and Ke’te Kesu. The first site has cliff burials, where tombs have been dug out of the cliff face. The second site has two caves where corpses are buried.

If you want to enter the caves you can do. Be warned there are bones everywhere and it is a bit creepy. You need a light to visit the caves. You can rent a gas lantern if you want, but you can also just use the light on your phone. Most tourists visit Londa as part of an organised Tana Toraja day tour from Rantepao.

3. Bori Parinding

Bori Parinding is a megalithic funeral site that is a combination of burial site and ceremonial ground. You can see the ceremonial ground from the main road. There are more than 100 menhirs (standing stone pillars) at the site. The pillars are supposed to celebrate an action by the dead nobles who are buried at the site.

Immediately to the left of the ceremonial ground is the burial ground where tombs are still carved out of rock. Behind the site away from the road is a modern cemetery. Bori Parinding has cultural significance for Torajans. Ceremonies and rituals for the Torajan dead are held at the site.

Bori Parinding is a 15 minute drive outside of Rantepao along clear open roads. It is close to Ke’te Kesu. You can visit both the sites in one afternoon. The countryside in this part of Tana Toraja is very beautiful and you will pass a lot of Tongkonan, traditional buildings with saddleback roofs on the way here.

Kambira is one of the most famous funeral sites in Tana Toraja. The village is the site of a forest where infants are entombed in the trees. Locals believed that this was a way of returning the babies to the spirit world, though it is more than 50 years since the last baby was buried in a tree.

To give you a quick history and cultural lesson; the people of Kambira believed that babies who died before they grew their milk teeth were sacred. The people from Kambira would carve a hole into the trunk of a Jackfruit tree and place the baby in it. Over time the living tree would grow around the hole sealing the baby into the trunk.

5. Ke’te Kesu’

Ke’te Kesu is one of the most famous tourist attractions in Tana Toraja. It is one of the best examples of a traditional Torajan village. The village is more than 300 years old and is classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The village has 6 Tongonan, which are the traditional buildings owned by Torajan nobles where the dead ancestors are kept.

The Tongonan have traditional saddleback roof. The design is supposed to represent the horns of a buffalo. There are also 12 traditional granaries where rice was stored. All of the buildings at Ke’te Kesu are beautifully decorated in the traditional Torajan style with stylised designs and geometric patters in red, yellow, black and white painted on the walls.

Even though Ke’te Kesu is very touristy site (you can see many souvenir stores in front of the site), I really liked visiting here. The countryside surrounding the grave site is beautiful with a view of paddy fields and buffaloes wallowing in the mud.

6. Sillanan

Another example of a traditional Torajan village that you can visit is Sillanan. The village is located in the isolated highlands of Tana Tora and unlike Ke’te Kesu it’s still very much lived in. The village has some beautiful examples of traditional Tongkonan, granaries and houses.

The Tongkonan in the village are beautifully decorated. When you pass the houses you will notice that in front of each one there is a post where buffalo horns have been nailed. These are the horns of buffalo that were sacrificed at the traditional Torajan funerals.

Sillanan is 35km South of Rantepao. If you want to sample village life there are home stays in the village where you can stay. It’s definitely something to experience. There is the local food to try, Torajan coffee to taste and the burial cliffs and megalithic monuments to explore.

7. Bolu Market

From Rantepao you can get public transportation to Bolu Market (Rp 3,000 = $ 0.3). The market is held every six days. There are hundreds of people trying to sell their buffaloes and pigs at the Bolu market. You should look out for the ‘ Tedong Salego ,’ which are buffalo worth more than $38,000. They usually have white colour on their head and back near the tail; and also have black skin colour around the eyes.

8. Gunung Sesean

If you enjoy hiking and beautiful views then you have to visit Gunung Sesean. The hill is the highest point in the highlands. It’s a 6-hour climb to the top of the hill. Most people start the hike to the top in the afternoon and then overnight on the peak. If you don’t feel like camping overnight you can always hike up and down again in a day. There are some great viewpoints over the valley on the hillside and the journey from Rantepao is picturesque.

9. Batutumonga

In a deep valley surrounded by hills with breathtaking views over the terrace rice fields Batutumonga is one of the best viewpoints in Tana Toraja. It’s 22 km out of Rantepao, which is a bit out of the way. There’s a nice cafe/ restaurant nearby where you can get some tasty food while taking in the view. Plus it makes a nice stopping point on a day trip from the city.

10. White Water Rafting

There are two rivers where you can do white water rafting in the highlands of Tana Toraja. They are the Sa’dan and the Mai’ting. Local tour operators offer custom white water rafting packages to both rivers. The packages normally last 3 days 2 nights and are for people who really want an adventure.

If you are looking for family friendly rafting then you should go to the Sa’san river. The Mai’ting is not for the faint of heart. Children under the age of 12 are not allowed to go rafting on the river and the rapids here are level 4 and 5. Definitely a lot of fun, but quite scary at the same time.

11. Hiking Tours

Hiking is one of the most popular activities for tourists visiting Tana Toraja and it’s easy to understand why. The highlands are mostly countryside dotted with villages that are linked by well worn paths. The countryside around Tana Toraja is also exceptionally beautiful. The rice paddies ripple in the wind and the traditional Torajan buildings look truly unique.

If you want to go on a serious hiking trip then the most popular ones last 3 days and 2 nights. The routes vary depending on your interests, but they generally offer the chance to visit isolated villages and famous Torajan funeral sites. It’s also a great opportunity to try the local coffee.

12. Drink Tana Toraja Coffee

Coffee from Tana Toraja is justifiably famous. The highlands offer the perfect environment to grow arabica plants and the crop offers some of the tastiest beans from the whole of Indonesia. Nice coffee from Tana Toraja has a distinct rich caramelised flavour. Most of the crops are still grown by local farmers with hand picked beans that are sorted in the traditional way.

13. Attend a Funeral

The way Torajan’s view death is one of the things that fascinates outsiders. For example the way Torajan corpses can be preserved for months and even up to a year until a proper funeral ceremony is held. The way and the sheer number of animals that can be sacrificed at one persons funeral. A chance to attend a Torajan funeral is to come face to face with these customs.

Hints from me: Go visit Tana Toraja on December, they will have a big ceremony. You will have a chance to see the mummies as they are walked in a liter around the village.

14. Talk to The Locals

The best way to learn about local culture and customs is to talk with the locals. You can find out about the caste system used in Toraja, the meaning of the wood carvings in Tongkonan, the history, the culture, where you can get nice coffee and other facts that will make you smile. It’s one of the most fun things to do in Tana Toraja.

Final Thoughts

The highlands of Sulawesi are one of the cultural highlights of Indonesia. They offer a mix of culture, adventure, beautiful landscapes and of course the delicious coffee. I hope this article has given you a few ideas and inspiration for things do in Tana Toraja. For more information about the region you can read our guide to Tana Toraja .

Thanks, Ayu

Hi Ayu! Yes for sure I can send you the details. I’ll email it to you.

Hello, I want to visit Tana Toraja on the 19th of January. My time is very limited so unfortunately I can stay there only one day. I am looking for a night bus to and from Rontepao. Any suggestions?

I took Litha bus (which is also good), but Batutumonga bus looks a lot fancier.

[…] places that you should visit in Tana Toraja on my next post and I will not forget the highlight, Londa, the natural grave site that made me goosebumps. Have you ever been to Tana Toraja? What was the favorite place you […]

How much is the overnight bus? And from where i can take it? Thank you

Hi Sandra, The bus ticket around Rp. 120,000 ($12) one way. You can take the bus from their bus stop/terminal in Makassar (to Rantepao, Tana Toraja) or . There are several choices of busses; Batutumonga, Litha, Bintang Prima, Liman, etc.

Hi Firsta, This is really nice post. But there is a little missed: Bolu market is held every 6th day instead of every sunday. So if you came on sunday, in the next week would be held on saturday. Can I please write as contributor in this lovely blog about Toraja? It would be like a guide from the local girl. Thanks.

Hi Linda, Thanks for the correction 🙂 About contributor, sure why not? Read here for more info about it: http://discoveryourindonesia.com/give-me-a-hand/

[…] Firsta’s articles about Tana Toraja, you can find the introduction to Tana Toraja here, and some things to do there and best restaurants in the highlands here. On top of that I would like to share more information […]

Sebage anak Makassar, aku merasa ada yang kurang karena belon ke toraja. Haha.. kapan2 aku ke sini nyontek itinerarymu ya kaak..

Boleh dong Kak Tiw.. Emang rada perjuangan sih 10 jam naik bis nya tapi Toraja unik sekali 🙂

Halo sis. can I also get a handful of your itinerary for yogyakarta or this itinerary. Thank you so much!

Hi! I’m planning to go to Toraja this month for a few days, boleh minta itinerarynya ngga? 🙂

Hi Tata, Saya tidak punya itinerary 😀 Cuma tinggal di sana aja selama 4 hari (atau 5 hari ya). Dua hari keliling Rantepao, satu hari ke Batutumonga, satu hari ke Makale. Kurang lebih seperti itu.

Toraja can be reached via numerous bus companies from Makassar. It takes the whole day to reach Rantepao the city where tours can begin from. In rantepao there are numerous hotels and guesthouses to choose from.

There are several western restaurants and excellent local markets to walk around and explore. You can rent a motorbike or car.

Hi Randal, Please get in touch through email if you would like to partner up for tours in Tana Toraja. 🙂

Hello Firsta,

I am doing my thesis at the moment, it would be a video based advertisment, title is “Visit Toraja, the land of kings to increase local tourism”. I’d be flying this december from 12th to 18th, and it would be appriciated if you could help me out by giving foresight about what to visit there. My main focuses are in culture and adrenaline-based activity to be later combined together.

Any ideas or tips are greatly appriciated

Hi Yudhi. Sounds like a really interesting project. I’ll email you regarding recommendations.

With regard to the weather and rainy season what tome of the year is best to visit Tanah Toraja? Thank you

Hi Jack, sorry for the late reply. Rainy season usually at the end of the year November-December and continues until March. I think it is better to avoid to visit the area during rainy season. I would recommend to go there around July-August or check the tourism calendar to see if there is any events that you can attend.

Great post! It’s beautiful what you do. I am interested particularly in the Mount Sesean hike. Would you have any recommendations on the local tour guides that arrange such trips for tourists?

Highly appreciated.

Hi Lawrence, Sorry for the late reply. Unfortunately I don’t have any recommendation 🙁 I hope you have a great time in Indonesia.

Rainy season until March?? Oh noooo i’m flying there tomorrow.

Hahaha. Hope the weather is good at the moment. Let me know. Have a great time in Toraja. 🙂 Happy New Year, Mas Anes.

I am proud to be A Torajan, Tana Toraja is a promised Land.

A guy I have met on the bus told me to go to “From palopo Negeri Di atas awan toraja”. Have you ever heard about it? Is it worthed to go? From makassarHe also told me to sleep in palopo before reaching toraja.

Hi Joe, I never been to Palopo. The famous area for for view “negeri di atas awan” is Lolai. You can easily access Lolai from Tana Toraja by motorbike taxi or car rental (around 1,5 hours journey). Should be a super easy day trip and can be combined with other destinations in Tana Toraja, but you have to start early. Alternatively you can stay overnight nearby Lolai, then you can walk in the morning to see the view. Hope you have a great trip!

Ultimate Guide to Tana Toraja

August 27, 2019 by Local-Guides Leave a Comment

• Tana Toraja

The Ultimate Guide

What to do in Tana Toraja

The must-do activity in Tana Toraja is to visit several of the many mysterious burial sites of ancient villages and royal families, that are mostly located in the South. Find below a selection of the most beautiful sites in Tana Toraja.

Burial Sites in Tana Toraja

Bolu Livestock Market

Another popular activity is to visit one of the animal markets. Palau Bolu (Polu Market) is the biggest market where mostly buffaloes are sold by small herders, and where significant sums of money is spent by locals. It is here where family members buy buffaloes to be sacrificed for the the deceised in a burial ceremony.

The deceased is thought to being its journey to Puya after the burial ceremony, and the buffalo is considered to be a vehicle to make the journey. Therefore, family members want to buy as many buffaloes as they can afford for the deceased to do the journey as fast as possible. The Bolu Market is open only once or twice a week depending on the season.

Another famous animal market is the Makale Market where the main commodity is pigs.

Beautiful Landscapes in the North of Tana Toraja

The beautiful landscapes around Tana Toraja are mostly located in the North of Tana Toraja. While the most famous village around is Batutumonga , other beautiful villages with scenic landscapes include Tinimbayo, Limbong, Parinding, Tina, Perangian, Pana, Salu, Lolai and other picturesque places that are discussed in more length in the day-to-day itinerary of the 4D Toraja & Village Stay tour below.

Recommended Tana Toraja Tours & Scenic Treks

The must-do activity is a 2 Day Toraja Tour during which you spend one day to see the burial sites in the South from Rantepao – such as Kambira, Kete Kesu and Tampang Allo – and spend another day to see the beautiful landscape and mountains in the North around Batutumonga, and ideally do a short trek through the rice fields and remote villages.

As Tana Toraja is famous for its unique funeral ceremonies, many travellers overlook that it is a paradise for hikers as well! Unfortunately, most guides are only familiar with the touristic and marked trails, and are not familiar with the beautiful off-the-path mountain treks just a bit further from Rantepao, so choose your guide wisely.

If you also want to experience the beautiful landscape around Sulawesi and stay overnight in remote villages among locals, you should do at least the 3D Toraja Tour & Village Stay Tour, but we recommend the 4 or 5 Day Toraja Tour & Village Stay to fully enjoy the serenity as you trek through rice fields, bamboo forests, cacao- and coffee plantations, and meet friendly locals as you stay overnight in their remote communities.

Find below the day-to-day itinerary of the 4D Toraja & Village Stay Tour. Other day-to-day itineraries can be found in our Tana Toraja Tour Page (click on the tab above the image slider).

For a good preparation of your Tana Toraja Tour, read the The Ultimate Guide to Tana Toraja

How to get to Tana Toraja

Makassar is the gateway to Tana Toraja, and Rantepao is the base from which to explore Tana Toraja.

Fly to Sultan Hasanuddin International Airport in Makassar . From here you can reach Rantepao both via land and by air.

By Air . Take the morning flight from Makassar to Palopo Bua Airport (±1 hour), located ±2 hour drive from Rantepao. We pick you up here for free if your tour starts on the same day. Use SkyScanner to search for international and domestic flights.

Taxi . Take a private transfer from the airport to Rantepao (±8/9 hours). You could make stops at interesting sites on route (Bugis village, Erotic mountains), make a detour to visit Rammang Rammang , or break the journey with an overnight at Sengkang .

Bus . The cheapest option is to take the bus (±9/10 hours). There are many bus companies with different prices and each bus has several seat classes. Always take the “VIP” seats as these are the most comfortable. Bus companies include Litha & Co, Manggala Trans and Primadona. Usually you need to buy the bus tickets locally, but Primadona has a (primitive) online booking system and an email address ( [email protected] ).

Where to stay in Rantepao

While nowhere near the high-end resorts in Bali, the best and relatively luxury accommodation in Rantepao is Toraja Misilliana Hotel .

What is the best period to visit Torajaland

From a climate point of view, Tana Toraja can be visited all year long. While the temperature is fairly constant throughout the year, chances for the best weather are in the dry season from mid April to early October. However, the rain season in Tana Toraja is not as wet as in other places in Indonesia; typically there is short rain shower in the late afternoon, if it rains at all. In the worst case it could rain half a day.

The best period to visit Tana Toraja to attend a funeral ceremony is July – August. In these months you will be able to attend a ceremony with near certainty if you stay in Tana Toraja for 3 days or more. At the same time this is the busiest period with crowds or visitors.

The best period to visit Tana Toraja for scenic trekking are the shoulder periods in the dry season April-June and September-October, although the off-the-beaten-path experiences are also fun in the rain season October-March and the super peak season July-August.

What to bring to your Tana Toraja Tour

The general pack list:

• Comfortable shoes
• Insect repellent (DEET 40%)
• Small backpack for the day trips

Pack also the following for the Tana Toraja treks:

• Pocket light
• Mobile charger for your electronic devices (or a spare battery)

In case you visit a ceremony, you could consider bringing ceremony gifts (e.g. sugar, chocolate, cigarettes) with you, or alternatively just ask your guide to make a stop at a store on the way to the ceremony.

Where to go after Tana Toraja

The Tana Toraja Tours can be perfectly combined with visits to Rammang Rammang, Lake Tempe and Bira Beach.

• Rammang Rammang (±1.5 hours from Makassar by car) is part of Batimurung National Park, famous for its limestones. You need to cross a mangrove river by canoe to arrive at Rammang Rammang, where you can do several short hikes, visit the viewpoint on a hill or the caves with ancient drawings.
• Lake Tempe is the largest lake in Sulawesi and known for its floating villages. You cruise by boat between the houses, and can make stops for a coffee or desert in one of the floating houses.
• Tanjung Bira is known for its white beaches and turquoise water and considered to be among the most beautiful beaches in Indonesia. Located ±200 km from Makassar, it is relatively remote and therefore not crowded with tourists.
• 5 Day Makassar > Rammang Rammang – Lake Tempe – Tana Toraja > Makassar

14 Amazing Things To Do In Tana Toraja

Lately it was the Indonesian Tourism Board who took me away from the islands around Bali and showed me more of what Indonesia has to offer. I felt like I was exploring a different country as the Trip of Wonders showed me parts of North Sumatra, Central Java and a region in Central Sulawesi: Tana Toraja.

The walking dead of Toraja

In my weekly blog The Walking Dead of Toraja I already explained a little why this region is so extravagant to visit. It may sound a little creepy, but the believes of the Toraja people are just a little different than ours and therefore extremely interesting to experience.

Toraja people live for the afterlife and death is welcomed as a celebration. They live a simple life and departing is not seen as something sad. In fact it is a huge ceremony where buffalos are sacrificed and the meat shared among other villagers. Torajans live in so called castes systems, which defines your social status through their ancestors. The higher your social rank the bigger your Toraja funeral ceremony will be. Life of the Torajans is about death!

So why do people talk about the walking dead of Toraja?

When someone dies they are not buried straight away but it can take up to several years before someone will be put in a coffin and brought to their final resting place. As the family wants to give the departed a great funeral they have to save up enough money to pay for all the rituals. In the meantime they keep the corpse at home and bring offers to it every day. They keep the corpse of their deceased beloved ones in a good state by balming them from time to time, some even dress them up, wash them and take them for a walk around the village. This may sound creepy in our believes, but this is Toraja culture and I think it should be respected as it is extremely fascinating. Now you know why people talk about the walking dead of Toraja if you still can't believe it, check out this little video. This video contains dead people! ;)

Some say if you have not witnessed a Toraja funeral ceremony you have not experienced the real Toraja culture. Of course this is one of the best things to do in Toraja as this place is mainly about the extraordinary rituals of the Toraja people, but there are more things to do in Toraja. But first let me tell you all about their cultural highlights.

1. Toraja funeral ceremony

Clearly this is among the best things to do in Toraja and many tourists from around the world are willing to experience this extraordinary aspect of Toraja culture. For more information about the Tana Toraja funeral ceremonies and how to experience them contact have a look at the Indonesia Tourism Board website .

2. Tour around burial sites

In my weekly blog about my Tana Toraja tour I explained that Toraja people are not buried under the ground but as close to heaven as possible depending on your social class. Therefore one of the great things to do in Toraja is the visit their burial sites.

3. Bori’ megalithic burial site

If you take a Tana Toraja Tour for sure you will be brought to this place where huge megalith stones eract from the ground symbolizing the land and its entirety. They all look like massive gravestones, but it is only symbolic. Coffins are placed in the caves around the burial site.

4. Lemo Burial Caves

In Lemo coffins are perfectly places in crevices of giant boulders and is believed to be one of the oldest burial cliffs in Toraja.

5. Londa Toraja - Most Famous Burial Site

This burial cave is probably the most famous tourist spot and among the best things to do in Toraja. Keep in mind that things get real here. You will see numerous coffins, human bones, skulls and even open coffins. You are able to enter a cave where thousands of people have found their last resting place. It was my first time that a saw human bones and not just one, but piles!

6. Tampang Allo - Bone Crusher

Another cave similar like Londa though a bit more organized with bones and skulls from departed neatly arranged. Get one of the guides hanging out in front of the entrance to get permission to go inside. Bargain is a must!

7. Kambira - Burial Site For Babies

This is not a place for the faint-hearted as Kambira is the burial site for babies. When a baby died before it grew teeth it was giving back to Mother Nature and therefore places in the tree without a cover. Over time nature would take care of the baby corpse and take it back. Talking about some interesting things to do in Toraja this certainly cant be missed!

8. Lo’Ko’Mata - Rock Burial Site

This is another incredible stone burial site, but different than the others. It is a massive rock formation in where many burial chambers are carved out and can hold up to a couple coffins. The higher the burial chamber is located in the rock formation the more important that person was.

Now that you know all about their burial sites you must wonder is there are more things to do in Toraja besides touring from one graveyard to antoher. But yes there is definitely more to explore of the Toraja culture.

9. Ke’te Ke’su - UNESCO Village

When on a Tana Toraja tour you cant miss the Unesco Word Heritage site of Ke’te Ke’su. This tradional village is one of the most complete settlements in the region and therefore popular with tourists to visit. Try to see if you can fix a traditional dance performance. This is the place where a lot of Toraja funeral ceremonies are held.

10. Stay in a local home

May be not among the standard things to do in Toraja is to stay with a local family and experience the Toraja culture first hand. As this region is far from developed staying with a local family is an incredible experience, but keep in mind that it can be really basic. Some houses lack electricity and families live super simple. Although they hardly have anything they love to share whatever they have and don’t ask anything in return apart from respecting their culture.

As the Toraja culture is so rich most people have no time to do something adventurous, but as we are in the misty highlands aka jungle up here, there are some adventurous things to do in Toraja as well.

11. White water rafting

Only very few people know about white water rafting in Toraja, but where there are lush green misty mountains there are also endless waterfalls and fast rapids. Chasing waterfalls in Toraja is a great adventure itself but if you are looking for a bigger adventure try to arrange white water rafting in town.

12. Shopping - local souvenirs

Being an isolated and self-sufficient etnic group for many decades the Torajans created their own style and endemic art. You will find many handwoven clothes and if you visit local villages they will be proud to show you how they make it. The same counts for the many carvings you will find on your way. Some wooden sculptures are incredibly detailed displaying the Toraja culture. Prices vary incredibly bargaining is strongly advised.

13. Hiking in Toraja Land

As Toraja Land is located in the hilly countryside this is definitely a must do. Best is to arrange a guide to guide you over the lush green hilltops, find traditional mountain villages for you and who guides you through coffee plantations. This is the jungle prepare to get wet so bring a rain jacket, but if the rays of sun pierce through the lush vegetation this place is a hiking madness and one of those things to do in Toraja that not many people experience.

14. Try the famous Toraja Coffee

Because of its geographic locations close to the ocean but still high up in the misty highlands this region became famous for its distinctive coffee flavors. The exceptional taste of Toraja coffee was discovered by the Dutch and in the time the coffee trade was highly valued Toraja became a coffee mecca. Find yourself a spot with a great view over the highlands and sip a Toraja Coffee.

Getting to Tana Toraja

A Tana Toraja travel guide would not be complete with some advice on how to get there. You can reach the central highlands of Toraja by car, bus and plane easily, but it still is a little adventure.

Getting from Makassar to Toraja by car

If you decide to rent a car in Makassar and drive up North to Toraja you will be blessed with an incredibly scenic ride, but keep in mind that this trip will take around 6 - 8 hours. On your way up North you will pass the lofty karst mountains of Maros, which are supposed to be the second largest in the world after the ones in China. Other stops along the way from Makassar to Toraja are: Pare a traditional harbour town and Enrekang a mountain village with exquisite views of Gunung Nona.

Bus from Makassar to Toraja

There are also busses available from the Makassar Bus Terminal located 30 minutes from the airport.

Flights from Makassar to Toraja

There are two options to get to Toraja by plane: a flight to Palopo or Pongtiku. Palopo is still a 2 hour busride away from Toraja land but is serves multiple times a week. Pongtiku is a tiny airport in the middle of Tana Toraja but is served very infrequently from Makassar.

Getting around in Toraja

There are two main tourist hubs: Makale and Rantepao and there are local busses running between them but basically public transport is not worth it. To get around rent a motorbike as this will take you anywhere you want to go at any given time. Getting lost is a great thing here as rural life is still super authentic and people are extremely friendly. There are zero safety issues, so be adventurous and don't be afraid.

Stay online during your trip in Toraja

When you are traveling through Toraja it is easier to stay online to look things up if people dont speak English or when you are getting lost on your motorbike. Staying online is the best by buying an Indonesia prepaid sim card . Click on the link to read the article in where I did the research for you.

Where to stay in Toraja

There are a couple traditional places to stay and recommended if you are looking for a bit more comfort. There are no 5 star resorts in this region but some at least come close to these standards. Food and drinks in these places can be really pricey. But if you are looking for upscale accommodation check out: Toraja Heritage Hotel ,

For mid-range I can recommend these: Toraja Misiliana Hotel , Luta Resort Toraja .

You are not really spoiled for choice with budget accommodation but this guesthous is doing a great job to cater the budget travelers, plus you will meet other like minded travelers here: John's Family House .

Tana Toraja

The Land with Spectacular Nature and Uniquely Culture

Tana Toraja is safely protected beyond the lofty mountains and rugged granite cliffs of the central highlands of the island of Sulawesi and the home of the Toraja people. 'Discovered' and opened to the world from their long isolation only since the beginning of the last century, the Toraja today still adhere to their age-old beliefs, rituals and traditions, although many of her people are modernized or have embraced Christianity.

The nobility of Toraja are believed to be descendents of heavenly beings who came down by a heavenly stairway to live here on earth in this beautiful landscape. To keep up the energy of the land and its people, the Toraja people believe that these must be sustained through rituals that celebrate both life and death, which are attached to the agricultural seasons. Tourists to Toraja, therefore, are either attracted by its unique culture and rituals, most of which are mostly centered around graves and death ceremonies. While others prefer to avoid the morbid images and go trekking through the spectacular, almost untouched Toraja countryside visiting remote villages, or exhilarate in rafting the Sa'dan river rapids.

A Bemo, the local transport, is the best way to get to know the locals, besides chartering vehicles (minibuses or Jeeps) with or without driver. Enjoy walking around villages.

To get to Tana Toraja one must fly to Sultan Hasanuddin airport in Makassar , capital of the province of South Sulawesi. As a hub for East Indonesia there are many airlines flying to and from Makassar. The only way to Toraja from Makassar airport is overland. There are no flights between Makassar and Toraja.

There are also buses to Rantepao that leave Makassar daily. The journey takes around 8   hours and includes a meal stop. Tickets must be bought in town but coaches actually leave from DAYA bus terminal, 20 minutes out of town by bemo.  Several companies in Rantepao run buses back to Makassar. The number of buses each day depends on the number of passengers. It is best and easiest to contact an experienced travel agent to arrange and take care of your full itinerary to the Toraja highlands.

Notes on Tana Toraja: Torajan homes and traditional funeral ceremonies in South Sulawesi

November 4, 2015 By James Clark 5 Comments

Tana Toraja (also referred to as Toraja) is a region in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. It is a landlocked regency and it is famous for the Torajan homes (Tongkonan) and traditional funeral ceremonies.

For the purpose of this guide I have listed the region rather than an individual town, as most of the sightseeing involves driving around numerous villages.

Funeral Ceremonies

[This section contains photos of animal sacrifice, so if you prefer not to read may I suggest reading about my plan for saving the pandas of Chengdu .]

The funeral ceremonies of Tana Toraja are among the most elaborate in the world. There is a season for the ceremonies, so the funerals are held weeks, months, or sometimes years after death. The body will be kept in the family home until funds are raised to hold an appropriate ceremony.

Torajan funeral ceremonies are held during the dry season, from June to August (some sources say through to September). I arrived in Rantepao on September 3 and there was a funeral taking place the next day. I don’t know how far into September the funeral season lasts so go earlier to be sure.

If you are here during funeral season ask at your hotel if there is a funeral (they will most likely tell you anyway). I walked around Rantepao and found a guide who would take me to the funeral, as well as driving me to the burial sites in the region.

You can go to the funerals by yourself if you have your own transport. For me it felt more appropriate that I went with a guide who knew the family. Before we went the guide suggested to buy a carton of cigarettes as a gift. Smoking is an acceptable habit in Indonesia is so it’s not an inappropriate gift.

The funerals are held in stages, and the day we went was animal sacrifice day. A big funeral has as many as three hundred buffalo. The Torajans are a Christian minority (with a dash of animism), so pigs are also on the menu in this part of Indonesia.

The funeral we attended was a smaller one, with “only” seven buffalo being sacrificed that day. We arrived and met the host family, where I presented the cigarettes to the patriarch. we sat with the family and drank Toraja coffee while waiting for the sacrifice to begin.

The ceremony began with a buffalo being lead to the open area in front of the coffin platform. I was surprised with how festive the occasion felt. I was expecting it to be more somber. Instead, the crowd was cheering and laughing as each buffalo was brought out.

The first blow to the buffalos throat brought on a loud cheer as the buffalo staggered with blood spraying everywhere. The butcher found his footing and struck the final blow.

Each buffalo was left where it fell while the next buffalo was brought out for slaughter. One of the buffalo burst out of the grip of the butcher and careened wildly toward the crowd.

After the final buffalo fell the men began the task of butchering the carcasses.

Memorials and Burial Sites

If you can’t time your travels to be here for funeral season (or if you don’t want to see it) the landscape alone is worthy of a visit. The combination of Tongkonan homes in the rice fields with the mountainous backdrop is a beautiful sight. The burial sites throughout the area make for a good reason to drive around and enjoy the scenery.

Tampangallo Cave

At Tampangallo is the “natural grave” site, where coffins are stacked in crevices of the cave. Next to the coffins are carved wooden figures.

There are also piles of bones throughout the cave.

Kembira – Baby grave

At Kembira is the burial tree for babies. The little niches carved into the tree are the saddest of all the burial sites I saw. There is a 20,000 IDR charge to visit this tree, which makes it feel like a tourist trap.

Around Tana Toraja there are cliffs with niches carved into them for burial.

Londa is a grave site with cliff and cave burial sites. Ignore the touts who say you need a guide to see the cave.

Accommodation

For visitors the best place to stay is in Rantepao as it is the biggest town with the most hotels/guesthouses. Another option is Makale (the capital) but there aren’t as many hotels here.

I stayed at Riana Homestay , which is a typical budget guesthouse with basic amenities. The cheap places aren’t on booking sites so the best option is to look when you arrive.

If you prefer to book online or stay in a hotel with a functioning bathroom then search here for hotels in Tana Toraja .

Bringing out the dead – In addition to the funerals, every three years bodies are exhumed to be cleaned and redressed. I’m not sure if this process is open to the public, or if it’s ethical to attend.

Getting to Tana Toraja

Bus There are several bus companies that ply the Makassar – Toraja route. The trip from Makassar to Makale takes 8 hours, and 9 hours to Rantepao. The buses I travelled on were very comfortable “Executive” or “VIP” buses, with big, comfortable seats that recline, and plenty of leg room.

I was concerned to be on such a long bus trip but it was one of the nicer buses I’ve used in Indonesia. It appears that the best buses are being used on this popular route, so any travel north of Toraja won’t be as luxurious.

I travelled with Litha & Co from Makassar to Rantepao. I bought the ticket at their office at Jl. Gunung Merapi 135. On the way back I traveled with Manggala Trans and a ticket was 130,000 IDR.

Flights Pongtiku (TTR) is a small airport that serves the Tana Toraja region. Remember that this is Indonesia, where regional airlines go broke, crash, or cancel flights at a moments notice. I saw at Makassar Airport that Aviastar fly there, but a test booking on their site didn’t work.

Check the Pongtiku Airport Wiki to see if there are airlines currently flying there.

Getting Around

Getting There

Tana Toraja, high in the mountains near the center of Sulawesi , is one of the few places in Indonesia where you can still see a unique culture that keeps its traditions alive, and not just for the benefit of the tourists. In the high mountain valleys, you will see traditional tongkonan houses set in terraced rice fields. The culturally distinctive Torajans are perhaps most well known for their elaborate death rituals, which includes funerals that can last for several days, followed by burials in rock tombs .

Thanks to its high altitude, Tana Toraja has a rather temperate climate. While days can be warm or even hot, nights are usually so cool that none of the hotels in the area have air conditioning. The cool dry season runs from March to September or October. If you want to see a funeral, the best months are August or September. This is when the farming people of the area have free time before the rains arrive in October.

While some guide books suggest that Toraja is already over-run with tourists, I practically had the place to myself in early October, and the truth is that there is very little in the way of tourist facilities in the area. You'll find only a small number of locally operated hotels to chose from, and there are few restaurants or other shops catering to travelers. Still, the unique culture and friendly people make a visit to Tana Toraja worth the effort it takes to get there.

Tana Toraja

Situated in the northern mountains of South Sulawesi , Tana Toraja is a beautiful region with a traditional culture that involves an interesting burial ritual.

The mountainous top region of South Sulawesi ranges from 150 meters above sea level to over 3,000 meters, providing a stunning landscape of mountains and jungle. There is a regional airport with limited flights in Rantepao , making travel to Tana Toraja relatively easy.

The main attraction of Tana Toraja is the spectacular natural surrounds and the traditional culture. There are several tour companies offering overnight and day treks through the jungle, which are challenging and rewarding.

A must-visit while in Tana Toraja is the Tora Tora Art Gallery. Filled with local art works from past and present, the art gallery is a popular tourist attraction. Perhaps the best insight into Toraja culture, however, is witnessing local traditional funeral rites. These can be seen during the months of September and October, when most locals are buried.

Makale is the capital city of the Tana Toraja Regency and offers some interesting attractions to see as well as a host of restaurants and hotels.

Getting There & Away

Travelling to Tana Toraj is relatively painless, with the regional airport in Rantepao offering flights three times a week to the South Sulawesi capital city of Makassar . Makassar Airport has frequent flights to the international airports at Bali and Jakarta . It is also possible to take a private taxi or bus from Makassar to Tana Toraja although the journey will take in excess of 9 hours.

Indonesia Travel Guide

Tana Toraja, South Sulawesi

Tana Toraja, literally means land of Toraja, is a highland situated in the region of Southern Sulawesi, Indonesia. It is well known as the Land of Heavenly Kings. A place almost lost in time, it spans with green lush rice terraces, tall limestone and bamboo graves with misty blue mountains as backdrop.

The Toraja people still practice many ancient rites, despite many adopting Christians beliefs after the Dutch colony, and many say that they are obsessed with the idea of death, not in a morbid way but as something significant to them. You may find cave graves, hanging graves, tau tau (life-sized wooden effigies), baby tree graves and even mass slaughter of buffaloes, all these bringing you a sense of strangeness yet captivating.

Where is it

In the central highlands of South Sulawesi, about 328km north of Makassar , the capital of South Sulawesi Province.

To see the rare, ancient rites and unique of the Toraja people, almost impossible to find nowadays inaccessible areas.Tana Toraja, almost unchanged for the last 100 years, is set in a stunning setting far out from globalisation or tourism, but still accessible given some small effort.

When is the best time to go

June – September is the dry season here and you may see more influx of tourists at this time too. This is the season where children are home from school, rice is harvested, and complex funeral for ancestors are done.

Located in the highlands of 300 – 2880 meters above sea level, Tana Toraja is generally cool at around 16- 28 degree Celsius thus making it ideal in terms of weather for travelling at most times.

What to see

Observe the burial rites of Toraja people. After the person’s death, the body is kept for several years while they save the money for actual funeral known as Tomate!

Marvel at the traditional Tongkonan houses . These houses with upward-sloping roofs are decorated with intricate design, and they have been used as a center for Aluktodolo (an old Toraja people’s religion or belief) rites. The Aluktodolo rites are like storing harvest in a carved rice barns or water buffaloes slaughter for ceremonies. Places with houses, granaries and/or ceremonial grounds and burials are Pallawa, Bori Parinding, Kande Api, Nanggala, Buntu Pune, Londo, Lemo and Tumakke.

Visit Ke’te Kesu as it is nominated for having a completed settlement with houses, granaries, burial place, ceremonial ground, rice fields and water buffalo pasture.

Pala’ Toke’ , for although principally only a burial place, the location with towering limestone hill with rice field extending all around is almost sublime.

Take walks around the place to visit various grave sites or other popular sites, normally around 1 – 3 hours walk. If walking is not your thing, you may try taking short bemo (minibus) rides from Rantepao

Where to stay

You may find ranges of guesthouses to hotels to homestays here easily, as although they are more remote than your usual tourist place, it is well known enough to receive enough travellers to have accommodations set up. Most travellers will choose to stay at Rantepao * as it is the most convenient. A popular hotel here is The Heritage Hotel * .

What and where to eat

You may find restaurants in Rantepao or Makale and they serve mostly local Indonesian Food and some Chinese or western food. Remember to try the Torajan specialty called pa’pion which is chicken / pork / fish cooked with vegetables in bamboo tubes while washing it down with local Torajan palm wine known as ballok. Coffee lovers may also find that Tana Torajan region is famous for their coffee and drinking it here is not only fresh but really cheap as well!

How to get there

Fly into Makassar, Sulawesi , Indonesia. The Sultan Hasanuddin International Airport is located 20km away from town and has domestic flights from various points in Indonesia while international flights from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and Singapore.

From Makassar , you may take the bus to Tana Toraja, which is 300km away with at least 8-10 hours drive away. It would cost 80,000 Rp for an air-conditioned bus from Makassar to Rantepao, with a choice of morning or overnight bus. To get to the bus terminal, you may hop on the frequent bemo (minibus) and would take about 40 minutes.

How to get around

Walk to feel the surroundings and blend with the people. But if you are going further or covering large areas, you may take a ride in bemo (minibuses) that cost around 2000 Rp to 10 000 Rp.

Indonesia Tourist Attraction

• Tana Toraja
• Destination

Toraja is an ethnicity in the South Sulawesi province of Indonesia. Located on a ridge, Toraja depicts a mini heaven on earth. Blessed with pleasant weather, incredible views of rice paddies and stunning landscape Tana Toraja is one of the top tourist attractions of Indonesia . Torajans are very humble and polite in nature and treat all travellers with great hospitality. This close knit community was isolated in the past, now live in utmost harmony with each other. However, it is quite astonishing to know that in Toraja culture, death is considered as the most important event in one’s life. Death of a person is celebrated by sacrificing buffaloes and pigs in order to appease the dead soul. The meat is then distributed as a fest to all those who attended the funeral. Such unique practices of Torajans have developed keen interest amongst travellers to visit this village in large numbers.

Torajan culture and ritual is definitely a big draw for travellers, however the rugged terrain of this countryside offers some great adventure opportunities to its travellers. Trekkers and hikers can walk up locally and explore various places. White water rafting in couple of lakes offers a thrilling experience. Trekkers will have great time trekking up on the paddy fields and trees around. The land of Toraja is quite fertile for coffee plantations and some of the best coffee beans of Indonesia are grown here. Inhabited in a remote hilly village surrounded by mountains and forests and getting to know one of its kind rituals, makes it a perfect reason to visit Tana Toraja once in a lifetime.

Tana Toraja to the Togean Islands: Travelling from Tentena to Ampana via Poso

Slowly moving from Tana Toraja towards Togean Islands.

After two nights in Tentena, we headed to Ampana via Poso. Ampana has boats to the Togean Islands.

This article is about the journey from Tentena to Ampana via Poso.

Bemo ride from Tentena to Poso

Getting from poso to ampana, arrival in ampana.

The journey from Tentena to Poso is approximately 57 km, and public transport is provided by the ‘bemo’ shared-ride minivan service.

You can get on at the intersection where the bus terminal is located, but we were able to get a seat reserved at the Victory Hotel, where we stayed, and boarded at its gate.

We were told that the bemo would be in front of the hotel at 10am, but it arrived 10 minutes early! It then went round the city to pick up passengers and luggage.

We wanted to travel from Poso to Ampana, so we did not go to Poso town, but got off at the intersection in front (Tagolu village). The bemo fare was Rp 40,000 per person.

We arrived at the intersection before Poso at 11:50 am and a shared taxi for Ampana was already parked where we arrived.

When I asked the driver of the car to Ampana about the price, he said it was 150,000 rupiah per person. We negotiated the price and it soon dropped to 100,000 rupiah.

We got in and soon afterwards we were off. There was one passenger in the passenger seat, but we were the only ones in the back seat.

It is about 145 km to Ampana. The driver told us it would probably take about four hours. Shared taxis take you wherever you want to go in Ampana. I told him the name of the hotel where I was going to stay.

We arrived at Hotel Oasis in Ampana at 3pm. The journey took three hours. It was a much earlier arrival than we had expected. Moreover, we were dropped off right in front of the hotel, so it was easy.

Tomorrow, we will take the 9am boat to the Togean Islands.

TANA TORAJA TOUR WITH TORAJA TOUR GUIDE

Sulawesi toraja tour, visit toraja tour while the culture still intact.

Tana Toraja, Sulawesi Island – While it stands out as one of the beautiful regions in South Sulawesi, it is undoubtedly the third tourist destination in Indonesia after Java and Bali. Tana Toraja is thought to be one of the most breath taking terrains in Sulawesi and as well as Indonesia. Your Toraja tour will surely be worth the miles journey because on top of everything else, there is absolutely nothing like watching a sunrise from Gunung Sesean.  The village is surrounded by mountains, tombs, lush greenery and rice paddies. The village has their distinctive Tongkonans which is a traditional ancestral house shaped like a boat where the deceased are often kept and cared for. The Toraja language is only spoken, since there is no writing system you will find carvings on wood that have special names in symbols.

Although Mostly a Christian population it’s also mixed with Muslims. It’s one of the only locations where you can visit a traditional village and be witness to their ancient burial rituals which are known to be some of the most complex in the world. On your Toraja tour, as a guest it’s common to bring bags of Sugar for the family of the deceased.

Toraja Tour for Tau-Tau Effigies

Lemo, the Royal Graves of Suaya and the oldest Effigies “wooden dolls” is known for its 75 niches. Book your Toraja tour package and see the Lemo funeral site that dates back to the 16th century.

11 Jam Perjalanan Darat dari Makassar ke Toraja, Sulawesi Selatan

JEJAKLANGKAHKU – Ada yang bilang, cuma 8 jam koq perjalanan darat dari Makassar menuju Tana Toraja, ada yang bilang yaaah kisaran 8 s.d 9 jam deh. Tapi, ternyata perjalananku kali ini nyaris mencapai 11 jam perjalanan dari kota Makassar menuju Tana Toraja di Rantepao dan itu bukanlah menjadi masalah, karena bagiku berapa lamapun perjalanan yang kamu tempuh, kalo perjalanan itu bermakna dan berbobot bagimu, ya gak akan terasa lama dan gak akan terasa capek, karena semuanya akan terbayar dengan keindahan, keunikan dan pengalaman berbeda yang bisa kamu jumpai dan nikmati di sepanjang perjalananmu.

Jika sudah berada di kota Makassar dan merencanakan untuk berlibur ke Tana Toraja, maka terdapat beberapa cara untuk dapat mencapainya. Cara tercepat dan termudah memang adalah dengan menggunakan moda transportasi udara, karena saat ini juga sudah banyak maskapai penerbangan yang melayani rute Makassar ke Tana Toraja / Rantepao. Namun tentunya dengan biaya yang lumayan mahal dan juga dengan jadwal penerbangan yang cukup terbatas, jadi kamu harus menyesuaikan dengan budget dan waktu perjalananmu. Cara mudah lainya yang lebih murah dan nyaman adalah menggunakan moda transportasi Bus Malam, dimana sangat banyak operator Bus yang tersedia melayani rute perjalanan ini, mulai dari Bus yang biasa-biasa saja, Bus AC, hingga Sleeper Bus yang fasilitasnya sama dengan Sleeper Bus yang ada di luar negeri, juga bisa menjadi pilihan transportasimu. Nah soal harganya, mulai dari kisaran Rp 150 ribuan (Bus AC malam biasa), hingga Rp 250 rb s.d 350 rb per seat untuk Sleeper Bus (perbedaan harga bergantung pada fasilitas yang tersedia, semakin lengkap, akan semakin mahal tentunya), silahkan googling untuk mencari info lengkapnya ya gaes, sudah bisa dipesan online juga koq.

Cara lainnya yang juga lumayan nyaman, apalagi jika perjalananmu adalah rombongan sekitar 5 s.d 7 orang, maka kamu bisa menyewa mobil L300, yang kalo dihitung-hitung biayanya jauh lebih murah (sudah termasuk biaya sopir dan BBM) ditambah lagi kamu bebas pilih waktu keberangkatanmu dan bisa mampir di mana saja di sepanjang rute perjalananmu yang artinya kamu akan lebih bisa menikmati perjalananmu dengan sangat bebas dan nyaman. Nah berhubung trip gue kali ini adalah bersama keluarga dengan 3 orang ponakan, maka menyewa mobil L300 inipun menjadi pilihanku. Thanks to Mas Yadi yang sudah mengatur semua akomodasi di Toraja ini, lengkap dengan drivernya yang super duper cerewet sampe bikin gue kaga bisa tidur sepanjang perjalanan karena hobinya ngoceh mulu hahahaha, tapi lumayanlah dapet info yang banyak dari dia plus bonus dikasi ketawa mulu hihihi. Oiya, kalo kamu merencanakan untuk sewa mobil ke Toraja, bisa menghubungi Mas Yadi ya gaes, ini nomornya (081342773677), dia adalah salah satu pengelola tour di Makassar yang juga merangkap guide spesialis Bahasa Perancis wew (temen kuliahan kk gue, pengumuman !), sampe sempat-sempatnya foto-foto bareng kk gue dengan para turis Perancis sa bus wkwkkw.

Nah kenapa harus pake tipe mobil L300 dibanding Innova? Karena ukuran ruang tempat bagasinya luas banget booo ! Bayangkan aja gue sampe bawa 6 koper super duper gede, dan semuanya muat masuk dalam satu mobil plus bonus barang belanjaan saat pulang dari Toraja hihihi (ada cabe rawit, rambutan, langsat, jeruk nipis, jeruk bali, salak, jagung rebus, ikan asin, dodol, bipang, kue khas Toraja, baju kaos, de el el wkwkkwk). Trus enaknya lagi, kursinya tuh satu-satu gitu, jadi bisa buat tiduran plus AC mobilnya yang duingiiinnnya minta ampun, pokoke berasa di bus dah !

Kapan saat yang tepat untuk memulai perjalananmu menuju Toraja ? terdapat 2 (dua) pilihan ya bro sis, pertama kamu bisa memulai perjalananmu di pagi hari dan bisa tiba di Toraja saat sore hari, atau jika ingin mengirit penginapan, kamu bisa pilih berangkat malam hari (sekitar jam 9/10 malam) dan tiba pagi hari (gak perlu menginap di hotel lagi). Tapi ada plus minusnya ya, kalo perjalananmu pagi hingga sore hari maka kamu bisa menikmati panorama dan keindahan pemandangan selama perjalanan, tapi jika perjalananmu adalah malam hari, ya tinggal tidur aja sih di mobil, hehehe. Jadi supaya dapet semuanya, perjalanan gue kemaren lengkap banget, perginya sore tiba tengah malam (bayar hotel satu malam) dan saat baliknya, gue pilih perjalanan pagi dan tiba malam di Makassar (lama amat ya, ya iyalah, mampir mulu sih hahaha).

Perjalanan kami ke Toraja mengambil salah satu rute dari beberapa rute yang ada (kata sopir gue sih, ada beberapa rute kota yang bisa dilewati), namun kali ini rute kami adalah dari kota Makassar melewati Maros, Pangkep, Barru, Pare-Pare, Pinrang, Enrekang, Tana Toraja dan kemudian berakhir di kota Rantepao. Nah apa saja yang bisa kamu nikmati selama sepanjang perjalanan tersebut ?

• Forever Online : Browsing, Googling, SocMed. Buat kamu yang tidak begitu suka perjalanan jauh dan lama, pastinya bakal sibuk main HP kan? Dan kudu mesti online doonk, biar kata mau di gunung, di sungai, lewat jurang, lewat lembah wkwkkw. Makanya, jangan lupa pake simcard Telkomsel ya gaes, karena cuma Telkomsel yang sinyalnya nongol bahkan sampe di puncak gunung paling tinggipun tetap eksist, Forever Online !

Jadi, begitulah kira-kira sekilas gambaran perjalanan selama kurang lebih 11 jam menuju Toraja yang penuh cerita dan kenangan. Semoga bisa menginspirasi bro sis untuk bisa juga menikmati keindahan Tana Toraja di Sulawesi Selatan !
