The Village of the Dead

The Village of the Dead in Tana Toraja is famed for its one-of-a-kind, exquisite wooden Tongkonan homes, as well as the rice barns; the hanging tombs at Lemo; the megalithic stones at Bori that have been there for thousands of years; and so much more. All of these fascinating areas of interest have a trained guide to assist you to understand their rich and distinct culture.

For Tana Toraja locals, the walking dead are more than a phantasmal phenomenon—they're a reality! These bodies do not come back to life, unlike those from popular TV programs, and despite online rumors to the contrary. Tana Toraja, often known as the "Land of the Heavenly Kings," is located on the mountainous island of South Sulawesi, deep in the heart of eastern Indonesia's lush forests. Torajans are famous for their beautiful tropical surroundings, delicious arabica coffee, and chocolate beans, and unique funeral rituals. Toraja's inhabitants follow cultural norms that revolve their life around death. Funerals, in keeping with their forefathers' customs, outstrip weddings, and birthdays, and, in some ways, are year-round celebrations in terms of cost and splendor.
