I Love Toraja

Tana Toraja is the most unique place in the world. thousand of tourists visit this city annualy. Tana Toraja is located higland, rocky mountain; approximately 300 kilometres from Makassar, the capital city of South Celebes Province. nowdays Toraja divided into Two mayor regencies; Tana Toraja itself with Makale as the capital and North Toraja with Rantepao as its capital city.
Tana Toraja can be reached by Bus from Makassar for approximately 8 hours. its really along trip, and quite exhausted journey. but dont worry, if you took early bus, well you we will be offered with some fascinating view from the sea side to the rocky mountain. the bus will took rest in higland site in Enrekang Regency, about 100 miles from Makale. the view is amazing with erotic mountain. and never forget to taste the local traditional cake called Deppa Torik.
speaking of bus, well if you considering travel without using travel agent, then there are 3 main branded buses that you should put in your mind. they are Litha, Alam Indah, and Bintang prima. the buses mainly equipped with air conditioner,music, and very nice chair for passengers comfortable. infact in some bus also has toilet inside. buses schedule basically the same one another. morning trip will start around 9 (nine) a.m and 10(ten) a.m. afternoon bus will leave at 1(one) pm to 2 (pm), all local time. while the night bus usually leave at 8 (eight) p.m and 10 (ten) p.m. for local people in common there is no need reservation or booking. just go to the bus office and get you ticket. exception must be considered on june-july and december.
in this page i'll provide you Bintang Prima office phone number. i choose it because its terminal/office located in very strategic place. in front of the bus office we can find a quite large mall (Makassar Town Square). beside their buses are the most convenien.
