Overview
The Baduy are a traditional Sundanese ethnic group that live in the province of Banten, a few hours outside of Jakarta. The villages where they live are famous, because the Baduy do not use modern technology, though this is changing. The Baduy are split into two distinct groups. The first are the communities who reside in the area known as Baduy Luar. There are 22 villages that are considered a part of Baduy Luar. The communities that form Baduy Luar form a barrier to the outside world for the 40 families who live in the area known as Baduy Dalam. The journey will begin by looking at the houses of the Baduy tribe whose outer parts are still made of straw, if you are lucky you can document their joint activities (outer baduy), continue the journey again you will find a slightly rocky path and up and down. You will also pass through many small rivers and barns belonging to the Baduy. The houses in the Baduy village are still made of bamboo and palm fiber and all face the rising sun.
