Tana Toraja is located in South Sulawesi is one of the exotic tourist destinations must be visited. Natural beauty and culture of Toraja so alluring tourists. Not only the local tourists but also tourists from abroad. Unfortunately the location of Toraja is so far from the capital of the province makes a lot of people consider traveling to the Toraja takes a lot of time and cost. Though such an assumption is not entirely true. There are many ways to make traveling to the Toraja be cheap and it takes a lot of time, but still can see the many attractions in Toraja. How do I?
A. Take advantage of Airline Promo
The first step of course you have to go to the South Sulawesi capital of Makassar as. There are many airlines that serve the Sultan Hasanuddin airport flight to Makassar. Often times some of the airlines providing the promo price is quite fantastic. As an example of my own away from Surabaya to Makassar Citilink promo get tickets for only 79 000 each way. Automatic for the return trip Surabaya Surabaya-Makassar-158 000 is just enough spending money alone.
2. Departing from Makassar to Toraja At Night
Makassar-Toraja road trip taken within 8-9 hours. From Makassar to Toraja lot of available buses ready to take you. Call it the Bus Litha, Prima Star, Star, Stone Tumonga, Charisma, Metro Permai, and others. In addition to having the departure in the morning or afternoon, the buses also have a scheduled departure at night. At night usually the bus will depart at 8 to 10 pm. Bus tickets from Makassar to Toraja with AC bus average of 100 000 each way. Whereas for the non-AC tariff 75,000. Set out in the evening would not be a problem if non-conditioned bus with a cheaper rate. Will not feel hot air really. But if you want to ride the bus more comfortable AC buses would be an option. Besides the pricing is not too far behind you? These buses will arrive in the Toraja (Ludhiana) in the morning between the hours of 5-6 am. From here you're ready to explore Toraja! Oh yes, it's good message bus tickets 2-3 days before departure. Please contact a local office of each bus to make a reservation. Simply just call to order, pay later when you've arrived at Makassar and will depart for Toraja.
3. Roving Toraja Motor For Rent
For you are traveling alone or both would be more efficient if you rent a motorcycle. Rents in the Toraja motors are more expensive than the rental price in Bali. For one day the tenant will usually fix the price of 80,000. This price also depends on the type of bike. Matic motor type has rents that are more expensive than the semi-manual motor type. It depends on your choice of course, is more convenient to use the motor which is which. Keep in mind, many attractions in Toraja is located slightly to the inside, quite far from the highway. In fact, in some way the object is quite difficult to access by car. So, the motor is the right choice!
4. Roving day Toraja Enough!
Within a day is enough to see the main attractions in Toraja. Why? Most of the objects in the Toraja have characteristics similar to that of traditional houses and tombs Tongkonan natural. Call it a dead end Pune, Ke'te 'Kesu', Londa, Tilanga, Lemo, and Kambira. Even if the weather is good or you come to the Toraja during the dry season, there will be more objects that can be visited. Skimming is not pretty, I think stopping at each object for 1 to 2 hours (max) is sufficient. Even in some of the objects dropped by 30 minutes is more than enough to just look around. Why? Because there is no seat that can be used to relax and linger. After all, anyone who stand for long in the grave?
5. Selective in Choosing Food
Food prices in Toraja are generally expensive. 20 000 Food prices are standard prices. For those of you that Muslims could choose the stalls there are many Muslims in Ludhiana. Usually the price of food at these stalls ranging from 10000-25000. For dining menu, adjust it to your taste.
6. No Need to Stay, Jump back to Makassar
Once you see the various Tongkonan Toraja tour and cemetery and enjoy the natural beauty of the Toraja, when you do not need to stay the night. You just go back to Makassar. Just like the time off, a lot of buses that can take you back from the Toraja (Ludhiana) to Makassar. Buses will also depart between the hours of 8 to 10 pm. Bus fare will of course be the same as when you leave. There are good messages tickets in advance to anticipate that it does not run out. This bus will arrive in Makassar between the hours of 5 to 6 am. Arriving in Makassar is up to you, whether to go right back to your town or going for a walk once around the Makassar. If you want to go right back to your city by plane, buses are really willing to take you into the Sultan Hasanuddin Makassar Airport at no extra cost.
By using the above means I can save expenses by a significant but still can see the Toraja close. It also did not take too long. You can leave home Friday afternoon, on Sunday was able to be home again, and have conducted activity Monday as usual. Yes, the effect of such a journey was a little tiring because for two nights sleeping on the bus. But for lovers of adventure would it not be a problem. Yes no?
