Meet the Mentawai Tribes
Take a trip into the wild & immerse yourself in ancestral practices and traditions. Discover heavy spiritual semi-nomadic hunter-gatherer people who have chose to continue living their traditional tribal lifestyle.
Culture

The Mentawai lifestyle should be of interest to almost every society for it contains elements of hunter-gatherer, animal husbandry and subsistence level settled farming traditions; all of these forms of existence are at the roots of every contemporary scociety. However traditional Mentawai communities can not be reduced only to a lens on the yesterday of our modern technological societies, they are also an example a sophisticated socialization that balances subsistence with a unique pattern of family well being, in essence a window on a potential tomorrow. Dr Philip Cook, University of Victoria, BC. Canada

If you can move beyond the perception of the Mentawai as only «primitive», then you may be able to appreciate a culture whose veneration of the child, centrality of healing, and the emphasis placed on a rich web of connectivity linking the individual to his or her clan and community, ancestors of the past and future, as well as the spirit of creation manifest in the natural cycle of daily life in the rainforest, makes our own lives seem narrow & disconnected. Dr Philip Cook, University of Victoria, BC. Canada

The Mentawai People have lived for centuries on their unique Archipelago of Islands, now reduced to a few settlements on the southern tip of Siberut Island, they still have a strong traditional lifestyle though their future is threatened by external forces such as logging, introduced diseases, and large scale settlement of Non Mentawai due to economic and population pressures in other parts of Indonesia.

Is giving money a mere means of easing our western conscience? Money is an inevitable part of modern life, even for these tribes. We give them money for experiencing their life, but our aim is to help them use this money to preserve their culture. Have some chats with your guide along that week, as you will be staying in his family & friends’ houses, he will help you to understand the situation more deeply. He is the son of tribes’ people.

Mentawai, one of Indonesian islands, with its millions of beauty, inhabited by one ethnic people, Mentawai, having tattoes all over their bodies. Its exotism and the existence of endangered primate, called pigtail monkey, dwarf siamang and beruk that live wildly and freely side to side with the people in a traditional house inhabited by group of people.

Ricky's Beach House Backpacker Holiday

Ricky's Beach House is a place for you if you are easy going, if you like and want to meet local people and if you are looking for authenticity and nature. You might be disappointed if you are looking for Balinese service with confort. Traveling thought Sumatra is not easy, its a root destination.


Unique in Indonesia, you will be part of the Minangkabau community as living with the local people, sharing and meeting them while enjoying this fabulous place between jungle and ocean, fauna and flora, rice fields and coconut trees.




 Our village is a small fishermen village with strong traditions. To respect the villagers and the community, we suggest our female travelers to do not wearing bikini on the village's beach (swim with t-shirt and short). But we have many "privates' beaches around or even paradisiac islands where you can wearing bikini without any problems.

 For our men travelers, please wearing t.shirt when you are walking on the village.
-You can wear anything you want if your bungalow is located in our private beach : bikini all day long is ok.
•If you have never been to Indonesia before and even never been to Asia, you might be surprised to see garbage everywhere (roads, beaches...). Indonesia is still far from this problem and almost nobody is educated about it, especially in villages. Our future goal is to to make local people aware of environment, green and garbage recycling but for the moment, the village is like all the others villages in Indonesia : dirty.
•If you are invited to someone's house, don't come in with your shoes : always take it off before come in. To great someone, shake his/her hand and always with your right hand. Try to eat with your right hand also as its not polite to use left hand. If you are invited to someone's house for eating or drinking, never start eating before you have been told to.

Kerinci trekking 5 Days 6 Nights Backpacker holiday tour







Kerinci is most active volcanoes in Indonesia, with nearly annual phreatic eruptions. Kerinci last erupted in 2004, and continues to spew clouds of sulphurous smoke, with plumes reaching as high as 1,000 m (3,281 ft) above the summit. While there is farmland in the area, and a tea plantation on its southern slope, Kerinci, being located in an Indonesian national park, and perhaps out of respect for its frequent growlings as well, sits in an area that is sparsely populated by Indonesian population-density standards.
Kerinci can be climbed from the village of Kersik Tuo, 6 or 7 hours away from Padang by car or bus. The climb and descent normally takes 3 days and 2 nights, if you choose to go to the summit. You may also choose to go up only till Camp 2 or 2.5, skipping the summit attempt which is a night climb; and take 2 days and 1 night instead.
