Sulawesi is one of the five main islands in Indonesia. It is a geographical tapestry of coastlines, jungles, highlands and tropical islands surrounded by coral reefs. While the island is less popular than Java and Sumatra there are a lot of things to do in Sulawesi. I have spent 5 weeks to explore the wonders of the island.
Tana Toraja was the best experience in Sulawesi. No doubt,Tana Toraja was my highlight..
The region is famous for its elaborate funeral rituals and burial grounds.
There are funeral sites where the dead are embalmed in living trees, cliff face burial grounds and you can even find mummified dead bodies in everyday houses.
The large funeral ceremonies are usually held from June to August.
The other thing that Tana Toraja is famous for are the Tongkonan houses and the delicious highland coffee.
