Welcome My Blog. My name is Andi Fikram.  'm a 3rd semester travel student,makassar  Tourism Polytechnic. I would like to share a story about my experince while doing a nature field trip in northern toraja district. On 14,15,16 october 2019 me my classmate department of travel study program travel businness tour conducted nature field trip activities in the north toraja regency. We travel for 3D2N
Day 1
We left the campus at 08.00 and headed to Barru district for lunch. During the trip, each student is assigned to be a tour guide. From Makassar city to Barru Regency, it takes about 3 hours.


   We arrived at kupa beach restaurant, barru district. There we were welcomed by the owner of a welcome drink restaurant. Like the color of milk but not the taste of milk. Like the taste of coconut milk, but delicious and fresh to drink. After that we had lunch together, pray, rest and then continue the journey to Bambapuang, Enrekang Regency. From Barru Regency to Bambapuang, it takes around 3-4 hours.


  In Bambapuang, Enrekang District, we did a coffee break and enjoyed the beauty of "Mount Miss". Miss Nona is also one of the tourist attractions in Enrekang Regency. Besides being able to do coffee breaks in Bambapuang, you can also buy ole ole typical of Enrekang district because there are so many different types of food that can be used as ole ole. After traveling from Bambapuang we continued our journey to Toraja Regency, it was great to be able to set foot again in Tana Toraja.


 The place is so beautiful with the characteristics of the Tongkonannya house and is one of the places I wanted to go to when I was in high school. We arrived at the senses hotel to check in, and our tour leader gave directions to get ready to do dinner at the penyet ria chicken. And our last activity was closed overnight.Our first day trip was spent on the road because from Makassar city to Toraja district it was very far and took around 8-11 hours.


 Day 02

 Our activity on the second day was started with breakfast at the senses hotel and continued with a trip to Timenbayo. At Timenbayo we enjoy the beautiful views of northern Toraja. After timenbayo we continued our journey to Lokomata. Along the road to our locomata we were amazed by the beauty of very thick dew.

Arriving at the locomata, we observed the stone grave. And while the observation was taking place we met a tourist from America along with a local guide. These tourists and guides taught us a lot. Tourists tell us how the tracking experience he did. And Gudie tour explained to us about the history of the tongkonan, tedong and stone grave houses in Toraja. After that we continued our activities on foot to the restaurant mentiro tiko.


 Along the way we saw a number of Toraja communities doing mutual cooperation activities. The activity aims to replace stones from the tongkonan house as well as to tighten the ties of the Toraja community itself. The men work pushing stones using ropes and pick-up cars while women are in charge of preparing food for those who work. In addition, along the way we also saw many new stone graves were dug. And the scenery that we found was very beautiful.


We arrived at the restaurant, we had lunch, rest for a while while performing prayers. After about 1 hour we were ordered to take the bus and go to the next tourist spot, namely to the starting point of the Bangko.

  We also did tracking from the Lempo to Bori. During the trip, we were accompanied by views of a vast expanse of rice fields with cool breeze that has not been polluted by pollution. Morning or evening is the right time to visit.We also visited baby grave.

  Baby grave is a stone grave made by Toraja people to bury babies under the age of six months. They were buried in a tree called 'Tara'. And it is said that the tare tree has a lot of latex which is believed to give breast milk to the baby in the tomb. Also when visiting baby grave we accidentally met with tourists from France. He taught us many things including teaching us the language.

 After baby grave we proceed to the next tourist attraction, Bori ’Kalimbuang. This tourism object is one of UNESCO's world heritages which is located on the Poros Barana road, Pangli, Bori Village, Sesean District, North Toraja Regency. These rocks are not through natural processes, but are formed in advance and planted in the ground. The formation and planting of stones cannot be done by just anyone. This Menhir is a neat fusion with the Toraja traditional house, Tongkonan.

 We rested for a moment and sat on the edge of the rice fields while enjoying the beautiful view of Tana Toraja. When we were resting, we saw many tourists passing by and many people in Toraja were wearing black clothes, which they said would do solo signs. We really want to see it but time and schedule do not allow us. So we continued our journey.And the last place we visited was todi. Todi is a place that sells typical Ole Ole Toraja. In addition, there we can see firsthand the weaving process carried out directly by the Toraja community itself.


 A very nice place to visit to buy Ole Ole in North Toraja. After from todi we returned to the hotel, dinner and over night.


Day 03

Our third day starts with checking out the hotel and having breakfast.


 After breakfast we went shopping at Ole Ole at the Toraja traditional market. In the traditional Toraja market, there are many Toraja tribal souvenirs and toraja special foods.But we were only given 1 hour to shop and the next trip was to continue to lakipada.

Lakipadada is a descendant of Puang Tamboro Langi, who also was the first king with the nickname Puang Tomatasak I in tana toraja.

After from lakipadada we continued our journey home to return to Makassar. We do lunch in the town of Parepare right terrace restaurant empang and dinner at the restaurant of the dream city of Maros. After that we arrived at the campus safely.
