BANJAR MASIN - SOUTH BORNEO UNIQUE
ADVENTURE TRIP
Nice villages visit along the way from Loksado to Haratai. Can mingle with
locals who take doggies and piggies as pets. Locals addressed piggies as gunik.
And greenery forests during trekking. Tropical and rainforest vegetations along
the way.
Loksado is a small town about 5 hours ride from Banjarmasin, the capital city of
South Kalimantan. Or about 3 hours from Marabahan.
From Loksado, travelers can start trekking to Meratus Mountaineous Range with
itinerary Loksado-Malaris-Haratai. With additional attraction bamboo rafting in
Amandit river.
Trekking from Loksado to Haratai is nice, especially if the time close to sunset
and evening. Passes wooden bridge and forests and small rivers and several
villages. And the evening sky showing thousand stars that feel so close to the
earth.
And in Haratai, you can stay with locals. If you're lucky, you can witnessing
the locals who are still have Hinduism beliefs [called Hindu Kaharingan] arrange
a ceremony called Jujuran. A pre-wedding procession where both sides of bride
and groom doing Beruji in Indonesian so called pantun or poem in English] for a
dealing about expenses should be paid for the wedding ceremony.
This Jujuran can take all night long! With intermission traditional music and
song using drums in trance conditions. This event will be held in a communal
house, which connected with several families' houses from the same ancestor.
