SPECIAL NOTES :
Overland drive to Tana Toraja is an about eight hours leisure drive
including one hour lunch stop and some other stops on the way. Therefore,
arrival at Makassar Airport should be in the morning between 09.00
a.m. -10.00 a.m., and departure flight in the afternoon, any time
after 4.00 p.m. Otherwise, extension of stay at Makassar will be
required, before or after going to Tana Toraja
To do Toraja excursion effectively, we limit places to be visited
to maximum five places. We intentionally mentioned only four places
to anticipate if there is a funeral ceremony in the village that
can be visited
Since there will be no funeral ceremony on a Sunday therefore we
will have no departure on a Saturday |
