Hiking SESEAN MOUNTAIN

Mount Sesean (height about 2100 meters above sea level) is located south Sulawesi Tana Toraja, precisely in sub Sesean, North Toraja Regency (now Tana Toraja is divided into 2 districts). The cool mountain air all day to make the environment here feel fresh and exciting to add atmosphere to enjoy the natural scenery around the mountain. Toraja tana itself can be reached from Makassar using intercity bus transportation, which charge between 60  -100thausand rupiah.
On the way (count start of Toraja) Sesean the mountain, we will see many interesting places. One of the best is by author Batutumonga. Many travelers who say "If you want to enjoy the beauty of Tana Toraja height, go to Batutumonga"Please see for yourself the truth. Batutumonga itself is located on the slopes of Mount Sesean (post 2 Mount Sesean), about 2 km from Lokomata (one of the tourist attractions, the cemetery on the rocks / cliffs). This place is famous for its natural beauty in addition, it also has a cool air. Here also there are lots of lodging and dining / restaurants for tourists visiting.
Sesean mountain itself consists of 9 post, is around 3-4 hours to arrive at the summit. Travelling from post 1 to post 6 is not so difficult as it still passes homes and estates. In post 6, there is a very clear springs. In this post hikers often stay because in this post last springs. It  not too high but fog and cold weather can strike suddenly because the mountain is open valley the wind blows very freely. Post 6 is an ideal place to set up camp really because apart from the view from here is very good, the place is also extensive.
Heading towards 7 must be careful because over the edge cliff, upon arriving in the post 8 is very uphill and slippery roads, post 9 is the peak of the mountain with the elevation of 2100 meters above sea level Sesean the form of a huge stone. If you want to stay on top in a tent in tissue would suggest that because harsh winds of the valley are very hard and don't stands close to the abyss because very dangerous, the water must also be below the heading at the top 6 because there is no water source.The mountain is very crowded in the visit even by foreign tourists, most of the mountain is crowded in the visit at the moment of the new year, August 17, the day the earth and vows youth for nature lovers often hold ceremonies here in those moments. Before burning, supposedly haunted mountain, the climbers banned using black costume.
