Journey to Baduy Tribe

Journey to Inner Baduy

Indonesia has some traditional tribes who don't want to follow modernity. They keep the tradition and rules from great great ancestors! Live with nature, beliefs and instinct. 
Baduy tribe in west Java, a tribe that
isolated its self in somewhere they belong, Lebak Banten area near Rangkasbitung. Every 16 years they will move to another place, nomadent. Baduy are divided into two sub groups, Baduy Dalam (Inner Baduy) and Baduy Luar (Outer Baduy), only pure Indonesian blood can enter to Inner Baduy, foreigners disallow to enter their land. Outer Baduy's people is lit bit open minded, has Tv, Handphone, electricity and accept foreigners.

The journey to Baduy tribe was great! I had to do trekking for 5 hours up down the hills, damn perfect sunny day, hot, good views and no slippery. I asked porter to bring my heavy bag pack :p (25000 IDR=2 USD/bag). The porter it self was a Inner Baduy tribe people, can you imagine barefoot he can lift 4 backpacks by himself for trekking about 5 hours! Gosh!!!! How could small body like kiddo can be so strong like Rambo?!!
