Baduy Village

The Baduy people are an indigenous ethnic group native to the Lebak Regency in Banten, Indonesia. They live a very traditional lifestyle and limit their interactions with the outside world to minimise outside influence and preserve their ethnic traditions.

Baduy is divided into two parts: Baduy Luar (or outer Baduy) and Baduy Dalam (or inner Baduy). Those living in Baduy Dalam have very limited contact with the outside world; and those living in Baduy Luar act as a barrier between Baduy Luar and the 'outside world'. Life in Baduy Dalam is very traditional, and they rely heavily on the natural ecosystem. The only modes of transport there is to walk; they do not use electricity nor chemicals like soap or toothpaste; and there are no proper bathrooms or other infrastructure projects. While foreigners are generally not allowed to visit Baduy Dalam, it is said that if you look Southeast Asian, it would be possible for you to enter the village. Otherwise, it is still possible for visitors to visit Baduy Luar.

Rules and etiquette about visiting Baduy Village

If you are planning to visit the Baduy Village, it is crucial for you to abide by their rules. Be respectful and mindful of the traditions of the village.

The rules are much stricter in Baduy Dalam, so if you have the chance to enter Baduy Dalam, these are some things you should take note of:

1. No electronic devices allowed: The Baduy Dalam people do not use any electronics, including smartphones and cameras. As a guest to their village, switch off all your electronics and don't use them while you are in the village. You are almost certainly not going to be able to get any signal anyway.
2. No photography: Photography in the village is strictly not allowed. But since you shouldn't be using any electronics, there shouldn't be a way for you to take photos anyway. Photos are fine in Baduy Luar though!
3. No chemicals: That also means you wouldn't be able to use soap, shampoo, or toothpaste. If this isn't something that you can accept, then you probably shouldn't spend the night.
4. Don't be rowdy, and keep the place clean: Don't disrupt the peace and tranquility of the village. Also be mindful to keep the surroundings clean — do not litter or vandalise.
