Tana Toraja, Indonesia
The hanging graves in Toraja – Lemo
Passing through a small muddy path from the Lemo village amidst rice paddy fields, visitors will get to the best known and most crowded burial site in Toraja. Here, you will see an impressive burial cliff riddled with hanging graves and a series of balconies with Tau-Tau, wooden effigies of the dead persons. They sit lined up in rows, held in place by beams of wood and staring out at the fields below, making the whole scene hauntingly stunning with the eerie mystical atmosphere. Near the base of the sheer rock, there are also two small charming traditional Tongkonan houses as you see in typical Toraja villages.
