FIELDTRIP TORAJA REGENCY
Assalamualaikum Wr.Wb
Hi, My name is irnaruswinda, and I'm a 3rd semester travel
student, Makassar State Tourism Polytechnic, I want to share a story about my
experience while doing a Nature Field Trip in the northern Toraja district.
Happy reading, don't forget to give your comments
On 14,15,16 October 2019 me and my classmates of the
Travel Department study program tour travel business doing Nature Field Trip
activities in the north toraja district. We travel for 3D2N. And before we do
our marine trip activities we do a meeting first with our tour leader. We
gathered at our beloved campus (Makassar tourism polytechnic) at 07.00 and our
tour leader gave directions and gave us other tour equipment such as (songage
tags, ID cards and refresmants).
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 Tongkonanya
house as well as the culture there. 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 view that we found was very beautiful. We
arrived at the restaurant for my monteret lunch and the location was also very
good to be a place for photos like the picture below, then the lunch break for
a while at the same time to pray. 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 do tracking from Lempo to Bori. But we passed through
the forest and also the rice fields.
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.
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.
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 last day in Toraja, we have breakfast at 6:00 so
before that we must prepare beforehand, we have to take a shower, take care of
the goods, and if we have directly gathered in the lobby of the intersection of
goods and eat then chack out the hotel after that we go to the Bolu market
coincidentally the market is near skaliji from the hotel so we walk to the
Balinese article for the ballad of typical Toraja food, bags, clothes and so
on, after shopping and then taking the bus to go to the men in Padada,
ohh yeah yeah the man in Skali was very well known by the
Toraja people until he was made by a very big Paris man this padada is very
familiar with powerful or powerful humans, who no one can match his strength,
and are loved by many people because they are kind, so if you go to Toraja you
have to stop at a man to a friend, then walk again then we stop at Mount Nona
to rest and drink tea and coffee with fried bananas while enjoying the scenery
at Mount Enrekang, then we continue the journey to Barru, there we eat at the
Empang terrace for lunch,
after that we go straight to Maros for dinner at
Toar to eat the dream while praying isya and we take me to campus and we arrive
at the campus at 9:30, then return to the house to rest.
That was my activity during the tour which was very fun,
thanks for wanting to read my writing, sorry if there is a word written by a
friend, wait for my writing to continue, yahh see you
Have a nice day
Assalamualaikum wr.wb
