Exploring Toraja, Indonesia

This 13-day Indonesian adventure combines the popular island of Bali with the less trodden Tana Toraja Regency. Beginning in Singapore, you’ll have the opportunity to get acquainted with its colonial and cosmopolitan sights on a guided tour before heading into the Indonesian jungle. In Tana Toraja, the isolated indigenous mountain region north of South Sulawesi, you’ll get a feel for daily life as you meander through its market, dine at local restaurants and visit villages engulfed by cliffs adorned with suspended wooden coffins. Take hikes into the surrounding tropical countryside, observe customs and traditions in the quaint villages of Lempo, Tinongbayo and Bori and call into nearby weaving factories to learn new skills. For the final part of your 13-day Indonesian adventure, you’ll head to Bali. Enjoy a couple of restful days relaxing by the tropical beaches of Jimbaran Bay, get lost in Ubud’s verdant rice paddies and take in some of the island’s best temples, Uluwatu and Tanah Lot.
