Meaning of Bukit Batu

Bukit Batu, are mountains around Indonesia with a deep Dayak culture meaning.
These extraordinary formed rocks,
are made from nature and have a huge spiritual attraction.

King of Rulers

Bukit Batu is the residence of the King of Rulers. Only certain people who have a spiritual high level are able to interact or even see him.

Sacrifices for the King of Rulers

People are bringing sacrifices for example chickens, goats and even cows. In addition, they also put yellow cloth along the places where they begged for success, a good life or different things. Therefor are the sacrifices.

Therefore you should respect the culture and avoid disturbing or doing unnecessary things, like throwing trash around or engrave your name into the stones.

Home of Ghosts

In here everyone strongly believe,
that Bukit Batu is attractive to ghosts and a home of ghosts.

Me as a traveler believe in it too, since I have been there.
The energy you feel around this area is unusual.

The Area around Bukit Batu

Beauty of Nature

The beauty of the nature and of the jungle around Indonesia is incredible, but sadly most of the jungle got cut down and burned by people already, for creating palm oil farms most of the area is not even being used, so it's a shame that people destroy the jungle for basically nothing. A huge amount of animals for example Orangutans and plants become extinct because of this.

THIS IS NO ADVERTISMENT

If you would like to help and change something you should check out
BOSF - Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation.

It is a company who is helping Orangutans who got lost, got no place to live, got no mother, and never learned skills for surviving. After they got teached how to survive they get into a special place which is untouched by humans, where no one disturbs them. It is worth to take a look.

Thank you for reading. In the future I will post more pictures of my journey with some content about culture, nature and people. Please leave your opinion in the comment section.
