Batu (STONE) Suli: Between Stone or silience stone

Nature tourism is considerable potential in Central Kalimantan pretty much scattered in the area, often in remote villages can be found. This is a regional asset that must be preserved and maintained its existence, because in addition contains a tourist attraction for its beautiful landscapes are also many stores that cultural values ​​of high and rich cultural diversity. One of them is a natural site, located at Batu Suli Diamond Mountain District. Distance district from the provincial capital about 200 km with the distance using the ground transportation for approximately 5 hours drive. Travel by boat from the port engine Tewah can be achieved in less than 2 hours. 

batu suli

Location of natural objects that stands firmly Batu Suli is adjacent to the location of the former concession areas. Flycatcher Wana Raya and HPH PT. Domas Raya Subdistrict Tewah, entrance area Kahajan and Miri River, precisely in the village of Batu Nyiwuh. The type of soil in this region are generally red podzolic and podzolic yellow red and alluvial soils are often found along rivers. This argillaceous soil types including fertile enough to grow a variety of plant species. Moreover, supported by climate type A (the value of Q = 5.2%) with relatively high rainfall that occurred from October to May, supporting the establishment of climax wet tropical rain forest type (tropical rain forest) is very rich biodiversity in it.
According to the story, the name Batu Suli was taken from a forest fruit that grows on the hill the stone of fruit Suli, cream-colored skin, thin translucent colored flesh and black seeds. The shape and size of the fruit is somewhat rounded oval of the little finger with a teenage girl about 10 cm long. Flavor is very sweet fruit with a distinctive aroma. It is very unfortunate because the existence of these fruits have started a rare and difficult to get it.
Enjoying the scenery during the journey to where it will be found many of the family tree-merantian meranti (Dipterocarpaceae), the type that dominate tropical rain forests, with canopy height and width combined with the beautiful architecture of the stem. Every now and then decorated with a panoramic view of nature that stretches green hilly lies with the form of a winding road like a snake crawling on the hill add treasures its natural beauty. Do not miss the feel of a typical residential Dayak communities with houses that dot the stage by the river and Lanting (houseboat) that line the rivers. All combined to create natural atmosphere in the interior of the exotic Borneo.
When viewed from a distance looked like giant Batu Suli mighty tower that stands on the banks of the river, while his leg playing in the ripples of water rushing along the beautiful rocks. What is interesting is the presence of Antang Stone is shaped like a small cave or hole, is a part that can not be separated because it is located in Batu Suli region itself. Stone Antang contains rituals and mystical values ​​that are still upheld by the local community. There are still a handful of legendary myth that if someone can get through the cave or hole is then life will improve, rejekinya will increase and other positive things. However, to reach the Stone Antang we must be patient and could take up many hours because the road through some rather difficult and steep. But the difficulty will soon feel neglected when the cool air that surrounded him.
It seems that the existence of Suli Stone is quite popular and has inspired the founders of the villages located in the vicinity and along the stream Kahajan and in the headwaters of the Katingan region to give the name of their village by the name of the stones. It is said that the stones are fragments of stone which restrict the flow of Suli Kahajan and Barito River until drifted aground in certain places and by local communities immortalized as the name of the village. Some of them are located in the village of Stone Mahasur Tumbang Pajange. Badinding stone located in the Katingan region, Stone Nyapau located in the village close to the District Tewah Nyapau. Ampang Batu Batu Nyiwuh adjacent to the Village. Nyiwuh stone itself is the name of the village where Batu Suli sturdy upright standing, and the other is the Batu Ampar.
Until recently, natural attractions Batu Suli condition was still very poor, far from the expectations surrounding communities who want to hang life from existence. Surrounding community life generally work and are still dependent on the environment, farming, looking for rattan, resin and hunting animals to fill spare time. This condition is possible because the location is very far from the provincial capital and the cost is still relatively expensive and the facilities and infrastructure in place that have not been adequate for visitors who want to spend the night and there tired release. This is certainly made of natural tourist attraction is to be left behind Batu Suli. Moreover, due to the lack of mass media in exposing the existence and uniqueness.
If we consider carefully the asset is very supportive in order to increase revenue (PAD) and is also capable of creating local jobs for local people and be able to introduce and raise the city of Diamond Mountain District in the eyes of other areas, because here is promising for refressing to enjoy nature and clean air above the towering rocks on the riverbank. Not enough, under this tourist attraction is quite swift flowing water with a rocky steep cascade, quite challenging for the younger generation who like water sports, especially rafting sport. Even allowing also to serve as the arena rafting on a national scale.
Judging from the uniqueness and natural beauty, attractions Batu Suli potential existence if managed properly. This would be the existence of human intervention and hard work proactively with communities and with relevant parties in promoting and managing tourism object is later. In the end, is expected to manage natural tourist attraction is able to contribute significantly to the surrounding community. The road toward tourism promotion has actually been there a speck of bright light, which is the name Batu Suli has been used as a street name and name of the star hotels in the city of Palangkaraya, Central Kalimantan provincial capital. Often people wonder about this unique name, but not yet satisfactory information is available to guests about the existence and potential.
As a final note, if we make Batu Suli as one of the prime tourist destination, let us start from now to maintain its sustainability and promote it to the outside world. Do not let happen rather than famous to the ears and eyes of the travelers, Batu Suli even more forgotten and eventually just become one of rock rock forever silent! (Yos)

Bukit Batu Tangkiling Save clamps Sin

Along the hilly areas in the district municipality of Palangkaraya, it's not complete until they've been up the hill on this one, Hill Tangkiling. Located far from downtown, to be exact Jl Tjilik Riwut 32 km outside the city direction. From all corners of view, looks lush hill overgrown with trees.
To enter the area of ​​the foothills, from the village Banturung must travel a distance of 1600 m again. Do not imagine the field difficulties that must be traversed to the bottom of the hill, because it is no longer the path, but are occasionally unpaved roads flooded when it rained heavily. Difficulty, a new feel after being on a ridge, and steep uphill road lay in front of the eye.
Tangkiling a high hill about 500 m, are believed to save millions of legends and magical powers. Standing sturdy, towering sky at the border village-Tangkiling Banturung Bukit Batu subdistrict, Palangkaraya. It takes about 40 minutes to reach its peak.
Kapit Stone Sin That said, first, the area surrounding a river, covering an area of ​​the eye could see, the water looks alone. Similar to the master Kundang story, the prodigal son, Tangkiling too, condemned for kedurhakaannya. Place the river was changed to sail into the mainland and the hills. Medium boat and all his luggage, changed into rocks the size of houses.
Tangkiling itself, because of the sins he assumed, must be willing wedged between the cubicle, now known as the stone clamps sin. Indeed, stone kapit sin, it is believed, came from the booth that also Tangkiling wind and then turned to stone like any other object.
"If the person concerned is no sin, it can not pass between two stone, squeezed," said Nyai Handang call it so-called-a village resident who often climb the hill Tangkiling with his family. He admitted, what he has just be published, based on the belief that they receive from generation to generation. In the past too, he said, there is a kind of memorial or ritual performed near the rock, its function to ask forgiveness for sins that have been done. The offerings also presented, lay a variety of traditional cakes and incense that stings the nose. "We read the prayer according to religious beliefs that we profess," he added. Has anyone stuck there? Laughing, he said, knowing he was, indeed unprecedented, except that befall Tangkiling karma, until it wedged between two rocks.
"Perhaps, because his time had changed, that power is never dinampakkan again," he said. Even so, he argues, the belief in the magical power of the stone, are still outstanding and trusted community. In fact, several accidents have occurred in the surrounding hills Tangkiling.
About this belief, Head of Mining and Energy Kalteng Mahmuda Drs H Nawawi, assess, it is only a mere phenomenon or natural event. And, no association with magical or supernatural power. "That was purely a natural phenomenon, nothing to do with magical or supernatural power," he said. This belief proved a group of students from a high school in Palangkaraya. They spent the weekend up the hill, like it or not, they have to tilt the body so as not wedged between two stones. The result? They reached the summit and back again safely. Viewed from the distance between the two stones that range from 15 sentimeteran, situated on a ridge, it is rather difficult to pass, should tilt the body. Under the stone itself, it turns out there are voids or empty spaces, so that when we stepped on it, feels there are footsteps, echoing. Left-right, the streets where, not the plains, but a gaping chasm deep enough. Thus, caution is that capital must be owned. "If you looked down, heart felt vulnerable," said Ayesha who has a tea shop in the Port Tangkiling.
Medium Juhran former official in the village Banturung Radio Communications, said, in the Mount Tangkiling there are a variety of stones, stone clamps sin is just one of them. Called also, banama stone, stone rings and stone crater located on the hilltop. Stone crater, believed to be the incarnation Tangkiling boat which sank, and then petrified. Stone crater, the surrounding community is also known as the stone rinjing, because its shape resembles rinjing or skillet. "When I was in charge, every day I go up the hill. For on bukitlah place most effectively convey and receive information, his voice more clearly," he explained.

Giant centipede Public confidence again, according to Aisha, around the stone kapit sin, lived a giant centipede, the size of a coconut tree. "In fact, besides the stone kapit sin, there is also halilipan (centipede-ed) registration bar coconut (coconut-red)," he said from the Barito River upstream of this. However, as with stones kapit sin, this giant centipede never again shows itself, disappeared like a swallow the earth.
"The period that has changed, making them never again manifest themselves," he reasoned. Just as the narrative Nyai Handang, arrival back at base camp, in the pouring rain, a group of school children were shocked screams one of her friends. Suddenly, people who were there gasped, turned out to teenage boys were bitten by a centipede at hand thumb. Indeed, including the animals crawling centipede that has a can (poison). The poison can cause the body fever, prolonged.
"Do-do, these centipedes, giant centipede grandson who ever told that, apart from stone tongs tongs sin, uh, actually bitten by a giant centipede grandson," said they shouted.
