Batumonga

Our next stop was Batumonga, where I had lunch at a scenic spot. Ritha recommended I try buffalo meat. I’m not much of a meat eater, but I reluctantly agreed. Buffalo turned out to be chewy, and just a little gamey. It wasn’t that bad actually.

After lunch, we went for a short one hour hike through some rice fields and villages. Here, I got to see the abovementioned buffalo care in action, along with real, lived in villages, and graves. Graves in Toraja are scattered everywhere. The padi fields are littered with large boulders, so there were carved out graves everywhere, as well as modern house graves.

North of Rantepao, stone tau tau were common. We saw a few modern concrete graves with stone tau tau.
