The Badui tribe in Indonesia represents a unique case of cultural preservation, where communities living in extreme geographic isolation (200 km from Jakarta, requiring 14+ hours of travel) maintain traditional lifestyles without electricity, internet, or modern amenities. The Badui people, divided into Badui Luar (accessible to tourists) and Badui Dalam (completely isolated), demonstrate how physical isolation enables cultural continuity, with villagers preserving traditional housing (bamboo structures), clothing (blue and black garments), and social practices while selectively adopting certain modern technologies like TikTok. This case illustrates that geographic isolation can serve as a protective mechanism for cultural preservation, allowing communities to maintain their traditional way of life and resist external influences.

Whoever wants to marry come here || Indonesia village girls life
Added:Friends, I welcome you all to another new blog of my Indonesia series.
Friends, today's blog is going to be very interesting because in today's blog I will explore a tribal village where people neither use electricity nor internet nor any other modern things.
So friends, I am currently about 200 km from Jakarta city of Indonesia.
away. To tell you the truth friends, it is very difficult to come to this village and meet these tribal people because it is 150 km away. Brother, you will reach there easily by car, bus etc. but after that friends, no vehicle will run, so you will have to use your own transport and by using your own transport you will have to travel about 40 km. Will have to come. There is a village named Badoi Lohar on this village. And after reaching this village, friends, you will have to walk for about one and a half hours. And only then you will reach there and you will be able to see the tribal people of Badui and you will have to walk for 7 more hours, only then you will be able to see another tribe called Badui Dalam, so brother it is very difficult to reach there, nothing works, you cannot go there by bike or cycle, you will have to go on foot only, so it is very difficult to meet those tribes and go there and make videos and friends there are two tribes living here, one Badui Lua and the other Badui Dalam. So brother, there is a lot of difference between the two. There is only one open for tourists which is Badui Lohar. So you can go there and see, but brother, you cannot go to Badui Dalam because to go there you will have to walk for about 8 hours, 7 hours and to go and come back you will have to walk for 14 hours. Then if you go and reach there, it is very difficult.
I have reached these tribal people, friends, after a lot of hard work, I reached here last night around 8:00 pm. So I slept here. Here itself, a hut has been made entirely from bamboo. So I slept here yesterday. And it's about 9:30 in the morning right now.
And now I am going, after trekking for 1 hour, after walking for 1 hour, I will reach that village brother and show you how people live there? How is people's life? And we will also ask them questions like why do people live like this here?
Why don't they use the internet? Why don't they use phones? Those people, brother, never use sandals, brother, I will show you that too here. So friends, let's go without any delay. Let's take our bags etc. from here and let's go.
Friends, if I come up about 200-300 meters from the bottom and show you here, you will get to see such houses. You are seeing, I mean, they are made of bamboo, brother, from bamboo leaves, so here a house has been built and you can see here, people live like this in the main village, brother, I have not come here yet, only the people who live outside, in the village near the city, I have just come there and such people live here, you can see, here this bamboo, brother, they have made such a house by cutting the bamboo and these people, brother, use all the things like slippers, etc., electricity etc. It is not that these people do not use it.
So you can see that such a house has been built here. And if I show you this, this is their traditional food which these people cook and eat here. This is chicken chicken chicken yes.
Here there is something like chicken etc. which is traditional, this is traditional food, traditional food, traditional food, traditional, so they are not able to understand, so this is some traditional food of theirs. I have seen some chicken cooked like this here.
After that some rice remains and this is called Nasi Nasi i.e. rice and after mixing both of them, these people sit together and eat it. And this is cloth ah badui. So this brother is Badui clothing that the Badui people wear. So you can see that all the girls, one by one, are wearing the same clothes. I am wearing it.
You can see and there are a lot of girls here. And if I show you here, you will see similar houses here too. Right now brother, I have not reached the main building, the main brother village.
Still you can see that people are sitting here and having picnic.
You are from here No you are not from here outside This brother is from outside You can understand from her clothes that she is from outside Picnic picnic yes picnic ok these people are here for picnic You here ok she is from here She is from Badui tribe ok ok brother the one who wears this type of clothes belongs to Badui tribe and the one who wears different clothes, brother the one who comes for picnic is different, what business business [laughs] here business business ok ok so these people have come here for some picnic etc. and you can see here these people are frying potatoes etc. here these people are frying potatoes probably for sale and there are other girls sitting here too, beautiful ones Hello you can see, quite beautiful your name is Nama Nama and how old are you How old is it C How old is it [laughs] they don't understand English brother these people are a little short of English so you can see like this here People sit here and sell goods etc. Some goods etc. are kept here. Like brother, it's mostly coffee etc. Coffee, tea etc. are electrified here. And you can see that there are only girls here.
Why only girls, friend? No boys boys men.
Now I'm asking I can see only girls.
No man. There are only girls here.
I can't see the boys. So let's go to your mother's. Your mother's C. Yes.
So friends, let's move forward from here and go towards the main village, where it is very difficult to reach.
Okay bye-bye bye bye -bye bye-bye friends, to reach Main Badui Village they are saying approximately 30 kms. I will have to walk. You can see from such roads that people are selling clothes etc. on the side. The kind that people who travel wear. So here these people are doing business etc. by building such houses here and if I show them here then a lot of people are coming from there also. Right now, a lot of people who were going were trekking early in the morning, brother. And we will have to move upwards now.
So let's go upstairs. While walking from the bottom, I came up a little. And if I show you here, how people drink water. Let me show you. Brother, these people do not drink filtered water. Do not use like filters. So look, there must be a waterfall somewhere, brother.
Water is coming from there brother. And look, it is kept like this. And this water is going to their house brother. People drink its water. Are you watching? And friends, you have to pass through some such forest paths because as I was telling you that those people do not use internet etc., so you will see that you will find very steep paths and you will face a lot of difficulties in reaching here. Friends, you see, everywhere these people have created waterfalls using bamboo.
Brother, you can drink water anywhere. Let's go drink water, friends.
Friends, after walking a lot, I have just come here, there are many similar houses built here and people are selling clothes etc. here and similarly many tourists are also coming here. You tourist, tourist brother, you don't know English, so I am facing a lot of difficulty in talking to them.
So these people are just tourists, brother.
Coming here to visit. It is evident from their clothes. And these clothes that you are seeing are worn by the local people here.
You can see that their local clothes are of blue and black colour. And there is a local child sitting here. And there are some girls sitting here. And she is working here. What are you making here? What are you making?
Lung.
Lung? Can you show me?
So she is making something like this. Brother, this girl is making something like this and here basically this tribe of theirs is from Badui tribe, Badui right, so brother, she is a girl from Badui and she is making all these things. And she is selling it here.
Here you can see that goods for the people are also kept here. Like something to eat or something I basically ate in front of me. I won't take it now.
I'll take some of this when I leave.
But I will buy something only after I do some trekking. Thank you, thank you. Yes. Let's go now friends. You will still have to walk on this side for about 30 minutes.
And friends, you can see that here we go to Badoo Trab.
These people use this method to sell and bring goods. You can see that these people are selling a lot of things etc. Some are like lemon and some are like corn etc. So now we will have to go that far. Will come again. So there is some scene like this brother. Have to walk a lot. Friends, as you go down, you will see such huts. You can see that such small huts have been built all around here. These people are selling something here. What is this?
Nasi dis darling. Dularang, there is one thing here called Dulha Rang which is being sold here, it is packed on this and here you can see water etc. and all these things are being sold here, this is a girl who lives alone in this house, you are at home, no no home, so this is not her house, she probably sells stuff etc. here and as I was saying, brother, you will find everyone wearing such blue clothes, these type of girls live here wearing these types of clothes and yes, here she sells all these stuff etc. So friends, now I ask them whether they have electricity and internet? This means they do not have electricity or internet.
So why do you have F F F, they have F but they are saying that there is no electricity. So is there any such scene brother? These people live here without electricity.
So you can see this village friends. It looks very beautiful. If I walk down and show it better.
Look friends, this is the tribal village I was talking about.
This is a tribal village called Badal Lohar. You can see. Now I will go inside and show you everything that the people here do. I will take all the things that you eat and drink and show them to you. So friends, I have just arrived at Badui Lohar Tribal Village. So now I will go to this tribal village and show you what kind of people live here. What do they eat here, what do they drink, what do they use and what do they not use. So now I will take you inside this tribe and show you all those things. So without any delay let me take you inside this tribe and show you what all is available here.
And you can see that this tribe looks very beautiful brother. It feels like I've gone back about 500 years, brother. You can see that you will get to see such houses here. So come on brother, let's go inside this village. So friends, before coming to this village you will have to cross this bridge and as soon as you cross the bridge you will see all these houses. You can see here that there are many houses on one side, brother.
So now I will go slowly, one by one, and show you all the houses.
So friends, I have come inside the village and now I will show you here.
What you see here brother, clothes etc. are drying.
So first of all brother, these people do not use washing machines etc. If you have a washing machine etc. then people do not use it. Normally brothers wash clothes like this. They do not have any source of water.
Like tank etc. or anything else does not come. The stream water here is like waterfall water and these people drink the same. So if I show here, these people are making clothes and so on.
Some are probably sewing clothes etc. Now you can see that this woman is making some stuff etc. and if I show here, then these people here are also making clothes, this is probably their business here, if I show, then this woman here is also making clothes, some white colored, this is their house, you can see this house looks something like this from inside, if it is possible then I will take you to some house in front and show you and here these people, this aunty is drying paddy etc. Now friends, I am in this village, Badui Lohar village, so you can see that it looks something like this, brother, all the things here, the roads etc. are made of stone, these people have made these roads here and if I show you the house, then brother, you can see the set above that it is made of some leaves, the sets above, now I will show you properly, brother, this set is made of coconut leaves, you can see the roof above and here these people are making things etc. in this manner and here you can also see some small children who are from this village, they wear similar clothes. So friends, I ask them whether they study etc.? This do you study apa ka mouth belajar no no study. So these people do not study etc. These people do not go to school etc. So now I will ask many more people whether these people go to school etc. or not. Then I go to them and ask them whether they go to school or not? Don't be so why? So these people are very shy brother. I will ask him right now. Do you study this?
No understand yes.
So she studies etc. Now I ask him some more similar questions etc. So these people are very shy. So this is the biggest problem. So she is making some clothes etc. So what you can see here is that this girl is making similar clothes.
Your name is Shanti Shanti, yes Indian name Shanti, Indian name, so brother, the name of this girl is Shanti and I ask her how old is she? I ask him how old are you?
How old is he?
Dagbalus Dagbalus Dagbalus What is Dagbalus? Will this tell how old it is? So friends, she is just a 13 year old girl and you can see that she does all the household work. Oh good good, so brother, you see a 13 year old girl does all the household work. It manufactures and sells such goods etc. You see, she is making some such stuff etc. This is what you can see above and it sells it to tourists.
You can see a lot of tourists. There are a lot of tourists there too.
So there is a scene like this and here also there are some small girls. So let's go down further, friends, and see that we have more houses further down. You can look there. So let's go down that side. So friends, if I show you downwards, you will see more houses downwards. You can see those girls making clothes there right now. And these girls are feeling very shy because an outsider has come and is recording the video. You can see that wood etc. is cut and kept here. Perhaps some separate houses etc. will be built here, perhaps for lighting a stove etc. here. In this way these people sew some clothes and sell them to the tourists here and perhaps even outside.
So friends, let me ask them now how many people live in this house?
Triga Three.
Or so, three brothers live in this house.
So friends, you can see that this is a village like this.
And there are probably more villages further down.
If I take you along, I will see if there is any more village down below. So you can see here also a woman, an aunty is sewing clothes here and you can see tourists here and this is how this village looks like.
This village is very lovely brother.
After coming to this village, I feel as if I have gone back about 200-300 years.
But it is not so brother, such people still live in 2025. We preserve our culture.
So friends, when I came down from the top, you can see that I have reached a different village again. That was a different village up there and there is a different village here. Meaning it is the same village. But people live a little differently.
So let's go inside and see what people do here. And such a bridge has been made here with bamboo and only bamboo, brother. So friends, when I came from there to this side, two girls were sitting here. Hello, you can see here two girls are sitting and they are selling the same stuff as they were selling at every shop there.
Here also these people are selling all those things.
And what is the name of this village?
Marengo. Maring this village Marengo. So the name of this village is Marengo. So let's go to Marengo Village and see what this Marengo Village looks like. It looks very beautiful to look at. So friends, I have come again to a different village. I have just left the village that was shown to me and have come to this village. And if I show you some such things here, these are some wild brothers, some food which the people here eat. So she is cleaning them brother etc. These people have built some such shop outside every house so that they can sell goods etc. and earn their livelihood. So friends, let us see this village and how much of it we can see. What kind of people do we get to see? Come on friends, I have just come here with a family.
Here this cute little region, region, Riso, Riso, Riso, I met Riso, this brother, ah, this is their child, but he is divorced, he is divorced and he is very naughty brother, this child, and if I talk about him, he was married but he is divorced now and you separate right, your son, Swami, no right, yes, or divorced brother, or [laughs], so he is divorced now and you want one right now, he needs a husband, basically [nasal sound], Mama Noska [laughs] and this sister, okay, this brother is his sister, this is his son, and this is his mother, and you live here, five people, you sister's son, then uncle, uncle and father, so brother, these five people live here and his husband is divorced, so now I talk to him, I get some more information etc., this child has started a blog, friends, and I just asked him if he wants to live here for the rest of his life, then he said yes. I will stay here in this village all my life and I talked to him a lot, no electricity, no fan, right, no fan, nothing, brother, there is no electricity etc. in his house.
Like these people don't use fans and such. Do n't use any things. To tell you the truth, brother, his life is a very simple life. So let me translate it and ask him.
Like you want to go to another country? Are you asking her whether she wants to visit a different country? No no.
Oh, this brother doesn't even want to visit any different country.
These people want to live here and they want to die here. So you can see that these people are exactly what they say, they are fanatic people who do not want to leave this village. There are people who want to live in their own culture.
So you are asking them that they want to preserve their culture.
Yes brother, she wants to preserve her culture and wants to live in her own place.
Meaning, just like that without electricity. Now you are asking whether it will never use electricity in the future? That's why I am asking them whether these people will ever use electricity in the future?
So let's see what she says.
