Toraja the Mystical Paradise

I want to share my experience back in 2015 when I and some friends visited one of the incredibly beautiful landmarks of Indonesia, Toraja.

It is situated in South Sulawesi province, around 8 hours away from Makassar, the capital city of the province. Toraja is very popular for its unique yet mysterious culture.

We visited the most famous place first, Kete Kesu. It's basically a traditional village with rice fields and full of traditional houses. Damn, it's a paradise! The vibes brought me to another world.

Traditional houses a.k.a Tongkonan.

A little pose before entering the village.

Flying because of the excitement hehe.

With my new friend, the sacred white buffalo.

Exploring the cave graveyard.

Next is Londa, another cave graveyard located in north Toraja. It's a high cave, located between the hills. You can find a lot of Tau-tau, wooden puppets that are used as replication of the bodies buried in the location of Londa also coffins with different shapes and colors with the corpses inside (it was horror!). 

Londa from afar

last destination was Lemo, a stone grave. It's another wondrous site I've ever seen in my life. It has Tau-tau as well, the puppets you can find in Londa, but you can see them closer from this place. Lemo was marvelous, though there was not much to do but it offered a view that you cannot find anywhere else in the world.

The cool gate to Lemo.
