Indonesia has so many different cultures, local language, tradition, etc. When you guys were in Bali, actually there is also a village called Trunyan not so far from Kintamani - Lake Batur. Its the only village in Bali who are not Hindu but they have their believe similar than the Toraja, dead bodies are not buried but just on top of the soil till you can see the skulls and bones after a while, the same in Toraja where they put the coffin in a cave, after a while then you only see the skulls and bones. Normally in that particular cave, is like a family grave. Another thing you may notice, people in South Sulawesi and Toraja, they eat more buffalo meat rather than cow meat cos its more expensive and also not their habit.
@@NataliesPassportyes, in Trunyan Village they put the dead bodies under the trees named "Taru Menyan" (I bet the village name was taken from this tree) . It means the tree that emits fragrance. And so, there is a miracle come from. Although the bodies were left in an open space, it didn’t emit a foul odor. Thanks to the existence of the Taru Menyan Tree, which is able to eliminate unpleasant odors.
hello sir and miss. I am Aditya from North Toraja (Rantepao). Thank you for your visit and I hope someday you can come back to visit Toraja again. Thank you
I’m an Indonesian from another island (Borneo), so visiting the graveyards in Toraja was awkward for me because I felt seeing all these skulls and skeletons somehow felt taboo and disrespectful, but locals assured me that it was OK. It was an experience, and it made me think about how people from different cultures view death in different ways as well. Bori Kalimbuang is reserved only for Torajan aristocrats so not everyone can have their funeral there. Water buffaloes are fine, I’d be scared of North American buffaloes though. Hope you enjoyed the rest of your stay in the province of South Sulawesi!
😅menurut saya pulau sulawesi adalah pulau yg harus nya di bangun banyak fasilitas modern. seperti gedung pencakar langit yg banyak, stadion kelas dunia, dan banyakin bikin hotel yg super mewah. kasian makassar ga punya stadion😂, stadion nya udah di bongkar, gubernurnya di tangkap kpk. negara payah, ga bisa memanfaatkan sumber daya alam di indonesia. kita masih se kelas sama negara prindapan😊, rakyatnya kurang memiliki kesadaran soal lingkungan. sampah dimana mana. pemerintahan nya bobrok.
@@bayulimitedid9130 saya mengerti keinginan untuk maju, tapi gedung tinggi bukan indikasi kemajuan. Saat berkeliling Eropa, saya lebih suka pendekatan mereka yang melestarikan bangunan lama alih-alih membangun gedung tinggi, memperluas akses angkutan umum agar kendaraan berkurang, dan menghadirkan alam di tengah kota dengan mengadakan taman dan memberdayakan sungai. Saya juga pernah ke India, kota-kota India banyak gedung tingginya lho. Mereka maju dan banyak fasilitas modern, tidak seperti bayangan orang Indonesia kebanyakan lah pokoknya. Tapi pembangunan di negara-negara Asia seperti India, Tiongkok, dan termasuk juga Indonesia itu tidak mumpuni. Hanya berkutat pada ekonomi tapi lalai akan lingkungan alam dan sosial. Saya lebih memilih metode Eropa yang selain membangun ekonomi juga membangun rakyatnya. Toraja dan daerah lain di Indonesia memang perlu maju, tapi bukan dengan mengorbankan tradisi dan alamnya yang indah. Maju bukan berarti merusak apa yang sudah kita miliki dan menjadi warisan dari nenek moyang.

Happy traveling to wonderful Tanah Toraja, South Sulawesi💑! Gracias Natalie & Carles for the beautiful Vlog🎥 at the church with giant statue of Jesus💒!
1:27 😮 no wayyy, you guys went to my gramps coffeeshop, Kaana Toraya Coffee. They roast arabica and robusta beans, they also pack mixed of those two beans. By the way, the owner is my gramps cousin, Elifas Pongrekun. We proud to serve Torajan authentic coffee and thank you for visiting Toraja 😊.
WOW MANTAP PESONA NUSANTARA ALAMNYA,BUDAYANYA, KULINERNYA DLL MEMPESONA DUNIA INTERNASIONAL I LOVE INDONESIA GOD BLESS YOU🤝👍👍👍👍🏕⛰🏞🏖🦍🐒🦌🐎🐂🐦🐤🦅🕊🦏🦋🐟🐳🌳🍀☘🌿🌾🌴🌱⚘🌷🥀🌹🏵🌼🌻🌺🌸🍝🍜🍛🥗🍲🥘😍😍😗😗💖🇮🇩🌏
Thanks for sharing the video about Toraja, this reminds me when I lived in Makassar in 1982-84 and visited Toraja several times, your video is great, showing more places than I had ever visited.
Finalmente Natalie y Carles también llegó a Toraja. Me siento orgulloso si ambos pueden venir a Toraja. La mayoría de ellos son cristianos. Yo también soy cristiano.
Hai natalie & carles, jangan lupa berkunjunglah ke banggai, pulau sulawesi juga tapi bagian lain, disana alamnya juga sangat indah, ada pantai dan gunung...selamat menikmati keindahan alam indonesia...
Apakah anda masih di Toraja? Coba ke daerah sebelahnya tidak terlalu jauh, ada Erotic Mountain( gunung Nona).. Lokasinya di pinggir jalan... Jajaran perbukitan yang sangat unik dan indah.. 👍
Born and raised in Indonesia, but I am of Batak tribe. I've heard this Toraja culture and views of death since I was young, and I used to think that it's such a weird culture. But then growing up and getting older, and losing all my maternal and paternal grandparents, I now appreciate their culture. Losing someone you love is never an easy process, the shock and the transition from living with them to living without them, is just hard. In our Batak tribe, we just have funeral ceremony for 7 days, especially if the dead is considered as old old people. And yet for the Toraja people, they release their grieve in such a gentle way, that I cannot help it but feel a bit jealous. Owww.... it's already August... Independence day in Indonesia is CRAZY~~~~...... Enjoy the experience... LOL... Can't wait for your videos then.
@@NataliesPassport Are you still in Indonesia for the Independence Day celebration (Aug 17th)? Hope you get to see and join some of the traditional games and foods.
The view is amazing, the culture is amazing, Natalie & Carles is also amazing ....😀 As far as I know Buffalo in Toraja, Batak culture etc. is the symbol of prosperity, richness, degree, high ranks... that's why they sacrifice buffalo or decorate house/cemetary with buffalo horn. I will be waiting for your next video, keep it coming
You can see another unique burial in the village of Trunyan - Bali, where people who have died are only placed under a large tree and only covered with coconut leaves and their bodies don't smell at all during the decomposition process because the smell is absorbed by the big trees there, even before the smell around there is good even though there are many corpses.
Maybe if you still have time, you can visit Rammang Rammang too (the lime stones view in the middle of rice terraces), Kakaban Island where you can swim with non-stingy jellyfish. Btw, you can join an adventure together with Sam Indowild and Kristian Hansen, they're there at the moment.
Ya , its beautiful landscape nature n unique too , terima kasih-thx Nthli-Chrl for share your trip in toraja land , hope both enjoyed nature n new experience culture from eastren part indo , ❤ tetap sehat tetap vit stamina untuk kalian , keep healty stay safe
Tana Toraja, many places in there was skip in 2013 cuz we dont have much time to explore. just visit Kate kesu, Bori Kalimbuang ( megalith / menhir stone ), baby graves Kambira, Londa Cafe and The graveyard Suaya. There is a guide in there you can hire.
for indonesia part you must try 1 hour video..dont worry, we have alot of internet quota..and you bring us, especially indonesian to go trough another place of our country from foreigners side
What an amazing exploration, many things that I have never seen before. Do you have plans to make some kind of documentary to capture your experience and share it with the world?
5:11 i am pretty sure they provide a tour guide for this is one of international tourist destination. maybe the guide was on vacation or something 😂 there are many beautiful places like Bali where the majority of the population are non-Muslims such as Tana Toraja, Manado North of Sulawesi, Medan North Sumatra, Sumba & Flores NTT (Komodo island), Papua and many other places. the Muslim population is indeed large, but the majority are concentrated on the island of Java, Sumatra, Kalimantan (Borneo) 26:53 i hope you paid for the tour 😊 he is obviously a local resident. Please support the local 🙏🏼
Ah yeah we didn’t see guides at the first place.. we actually didn’t see many guides waiting at locations in Sulawesi (just at the caves in Londa) and then you could get separate guides for a day. In our next video we spent 2 days with a guide and it was SO much better than running around on our own as they were able to tell us so much information about the culture and locations! 😍 And yes, of course we tipped the guide at Londa! He was so nice!!! ❤️
Awesome video,, I hope you can visit Papua someday, there you will see Papuans from Melanesian tribes and beautiful nature, you can go to Jayapura city, 3 hours flight from Makassar, have fun guys
Wow a beautiful view. You were made a great video. I never been to toraja. Even tho i am live in indonesia also. A bunch of beautiful places in indonesia i have to visit. ❤ thank you so much for inviting us to sightseeing indonesia country more close.
I grew up in this region. I lived there from 1987 to 20th of august 2016. Now I live in my natal village in Bone regency, about 6 hours from toraja. Thanks for your content. It reminds me to almost every single memories I had there.
Toraja is one of the most amazing place l've ever been, as an Indonesian myself. Fun fact, at that graveyard, nobody are allowed to touch the skeletons except their families. Even if the family intended to move the remains to other spot, they have to throw a spiritual ceremony first. And toraja's burial ceremony is insanely extortionate (without disrespect of the culture), they need to sacrifice dozens or even hundreds of buffaloes, horses, pigs, etc, depends on their status in society. If you're a nobleman lineage, you have to sacrifice Tedong Bonga (Toraja's unique pink buffalo) that can costs up to a billion rupiah for each. That's one of the reason they preserve the corpses of their beloved ones (with special concoction) for years at their homes, until their descendants have enough money to hold the funeral ceremony.
As Torajanese myself, this video make me miss my hometown so much after 6 years not going back.😔 Enjoy your trip btw, every foreign tourist had different reasons why they should visit Toraja. Sending hugs from West Papua ❤
There are two vascinating in term of culture and atmosphire land scape area in indonesia, they are Bali and Toraja, they equal to keep culture ceromonial funeral and tradisional unique houses. The different both of them are Bali serving his beautifull beach while Toraja serve mountain and valley view.
FYI, TOP 10 Indonesian National Food Dishes 1. Nasi Goreng (“fried rice“) made with kecap manis, shrimp paste, garlic, shallots, tamarind, and chil 2.1 Sate Ayam (chicken) seasoned, skewered, and grilled chicken meat served with a sauce. Best is Madura variation 2.2. Sate Padang is a beef satay served with a thick yellow-brown sauce1 3. Ayam Goreng (fried/grilled chicken) isrubbed in a spice mixture made from a multitude of ingredients like garlic, shallots, turmeric, lemongrass, bay leaves, and galangal before being deep-fried. Ayam goreng Menado (north sulawesi island town) was once named as best ever fried chicken by top world chefs many years ago. 4. Gado-Gadosalad made with slightly boiled, blanched, or steamed vegetables served with a peanut sauce dressing and with hard-boiled eggs, potatoes, bean sprouts, tofu, tempeh (cooked fermented soybean caklet) and krupuk ( cracker made from starch or animal skin) 5.1 Soto soups made with meat and vegetables, each region with own variation 5.2 Sop buntut is a delicious and hearty oxtail soup 6. Rujak is a traditional Javanese fruit and vegetable salad dish y made with sliced fresh fruits and vegetables served with a spicy sugar palm dressing. Rujak tastes tangy, sweet, and spicy thanks to the dressing made from ground chilli, palm sugar, shrimp paste, and peanuts. 7. Rendang, a meat dish made with beef or others which is slow-cooked for several hours in coconut milk and spices until it becomes tender. 8. Bakso - Indonesian springier meatball made from finely ground beef mixed with a small amount of tapioca flour and salt. 9. Siomay fish dumplings served with a peanut sauce, a derivative of Chinese shumai 10. Tumpeng is a Javanese cone-shaped rice dish served with a multitude of sides on a banana-leaf
looks like you two are only afraid of heights not afraid of ghosts. otherwise I might never be there. just seeing your video makes goosebumps especially coming to the location directly. But thank you so much for making this video. so I know more about Toraja, which so far I only know in several history and culture lessons, at school. always feel like traveling online, following your youtube channel.
Aww thanks so much 🥰🥰 honestly the first time we saw skulls (which you can see in this video) we were like 😱😱😱😱😱 but after 4 days in Toraja it seemed a lot more normal to see them 😅 the caves were a little spooky but I think that’s also because I don’t like caves very much (even without bones in them) 🤣❤️❤️
Banyak kopi toraja Dan jangan lupa ke Malino tempat wisata Dan air terjun Dan pohon vinus Dan Gunung wisata...kerbau memang mahal ditoraja sampai puluhan juta Dan ratusan juta rupiah
Once the train is done across all of Sulawesi it’ll be so convenient to travel there! 😍 we hope we can come back next year and make it to the north of Sulawesi too! 🤞
We rarely seeing a youtuber goes to Toraja... sometimes they only travaling in Java, Bali and Lombok... If I may ask, where did You learn about Toraja?? did You guys know about it from the internet or from someone whose been there before??
We saw something about it I think on Netflix?! And we love traveling to places that aren’t as touristy, so we really wanted to go! 😍 we hope we can come back to Sulawesi soon because there is so much there that we still want to see!!!
Have fun, Charles and Natalie, remember that Makassar has the deepest lake in Asia, and is the number 5 deepest lake in the world. the name of the lake is lake matano, you have to go there, the place is not dangerous, the place is beautiful, the cost is cheap. come on please, don't miss this opportunity, you are already in Makassar. the place is close to Makassar. Lake Matano has a depth of more than 500 meters.😮
Kak mumpung anda berada disulawesi, datang juga kabupaten pangkep dan maros, dan nikmati pemandangan perbukitan exotis dan penangakaran kupu2 di banti murung.
In minute 12.46 Charles so scare of buffalo, maybe he was remembered of matador in his home country Spain 😂... and thankfully those young man is really helpfull in the cave and they're not scammer like the old guy who also can speak very well English in Yogyakarta. I watch this video after I watch Shelbs video @NatalieandCharles
🤣🤣🤣 it was so funny! But in person the Buffalo are so big that it is scary to walk so close to them! And yes, we only know about Spanish bulls, not Buffalo, so maybe that makes it worse 😅🤣 The boys were SO nice!! And that’s great you also watch @chaseandshelbs - we met them in Nusa Penida and they’re great people! ❤️
Don't miss our second Toraja video where we explore with a guide and get SO much great info! ruclips.net/video/lydVxfHyMUU/видео.html

Toraja is one of the most amazing place l've ever been, as an Indonesian myself. Fun fact, at that graveyard, nobody are allowed to touch the skeletons except their families. Even if the family intended to move the remains to other spot, they have to throw a spiritual ceremony first. And toraja's burial ceremony is insanely extortionate (without disrespect of the culture), they need to sacrifice dozens or even hundreds of buffaloes, horses, pigs, etc, depends on their status in society. If you're a nobleman lineage, you have to sacrifice Tedong Bonga (Toraja's unique pink buffalo) that can costs up to a billion rupiah for each.
That's one of the reason they preserve the corpses of their beloved ones (with special concoction) for years at their homes, until their descendants have enough money to hold the funeral ceremony.
It is so amazing! 😍
As Torajanese myself, this video make me miss my hometown so much after 6 years not going back.😔
Enjoy your trip btw, every foreign tourist had different reasons why they should visit Toraja. Sending hugs from West Papua ❤

There are two vascinating in term of culture and atmosphire land scape area in indonesia, they are Bali and Toraja, they equal to keep culture ceromonial funeral and tradisional unique houses. The different both of them are Bali serving his beautifull beach while Toraja serve mountain and valley view.

Ya tapi Bali pengunjungnya lebih banyak, karena perjalanan ke Bali lebih mudah, sedang kalau ke toraja terlalu sulit dan terlalu mahal.

Amazing Video, Natalie & Carles🌴🌳🌴🌳
Thank you ❤️❤️
looks like you two are only afraid of heights not afraid of ghosts.
otherwise I might never be there. just seeing your video makes goosebumps especially coming to the location directly.
But thank you so much for making this video. so I know more about Toraja, which so far I only know in several history and culture lessons, at school.
always feel like traveling online, following your youtube channel.
Aww thanks so much 🥰🥰 honestly the first time we saw skulls (which you can see in this video) we were like 😱😱😱😱😱 but after 4 days in Toraja it seemed a lot more normal to see them 😅 the caves were a little spooky but I think that’s also because I don’t like caves very much (even without bones in them) 🤣❤️❤️
Thats amazing trip 😍😍😍

We rarely seeing a youtuber goes to Toraja... sometimes they only travaling in Java, Bali and Lombok... If I may ask, where did You learn about Toraja?? did You guys know about it from the internet or from someone whose been there before??
We saw something about it I think on Netflix?! And we love traveling to places that aren’t as touristy, so we really wanted to go! 😍 we hope we can come back to Sulawesi soon because there is so much there that we still want to see!!!

So cool! 😍
Have fun, Charles and Natalie, remember that Makassar has the deepest lake in Asia, and is the number 5 deepest lake in the world. the name of the lake is lake matano, you have to go there, the place is not dangerous, the place is beautiful, the cost is cheap. come on please, don't miss this opportunity, you are already in Makassar. the place is close to Makassar. Lake Matano has a depth of more than 500 meters.😮
We haven’t heard of that lake before we went to Sulawesi! It sounds like a great place to visit! 😍
Thank you very much for coming to Toraja❤
We had a great time in Toraja! 😍
Pemandu nya sama yg jd tour guide si dale philip 😂, like your videos guys 😊
Thank you ❤️ the guide at the cave?? I think he just works there at the cave so that makes sense 🥰
Kak mumpung anda berada disulawesi, datang juga kabupaten pangkep dan maros, dan nikmati pemandangan perbukitan exotis dan penangakaran kupu2 di banti murung.
There’s so much more if Toraja we need to explore!
In minute 12.46 Charles so scare of buffalo, maybe he was remembered of matador in his home country Spain 😂... and thankfully those young man is really helpfull in the cave and they're not scammer like the old guy who also can speak very well English in Yogyakarta. I watch this video after I watch Shelbs video @NatalieandCharles
Iya sih, soalnya di negaranya banyak Banteng, trus banteng itu agresif banget, main seruduk aja. 😅
🤣🤣🤣 it was so funny! But in person the Buffalo are so big that it is scary to walk so close to them! And yes, we only know about Spanish bulls, not Buffalo, so maybe that makes it worse 😅🤣
The boys were SO nice!! And that’s great you also watch @chaseandshelbs - we met them in Nusa Penida and they’re great people! ❤️
amazing❤
❤️❤️❤️
