Banjarmasin 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

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.
