Description

Instead of being known and dubbed as a " Thousand Rivers land," this land is also known as the swamp buffalo ranches region. Its farms are mostly found around the town of Amuntai, the capital of the Hulu Sungai Utara district - South Kalimantan. Buffalo cages are built mainly by breeders on small lakes or marshes that are full of water, especially in the rainy season. Almost all pens form like an open stage, standing in the middle of the vast green field for miles. Such a landscape, with its natural charm, including the activities of farmers, ranchers, and lake swamp fishers, captivates the attention of anyone passing through this area for the first time—such a fantastic view I have never experienced in another region in Indonesia.

Every time we conduct church services in the village of Ipumea - East Barito Regency, Central Kalimantan, we have to stop and rest for a while around this area for lunch - because traveling from Banjarbaru to Ipumea village usually takes more than five hours by car.

Bahasa Indonesia

Alih-alih dikenal dan dijuluki sebagai “Negeri Seribu Sungai”, wilayah ini juga dikenal dengan julukan negeri peternakan kerbau rawa. Peternakannya banyak terdapat di sekitar kota Amuntai, ibu kota kabupaten Hulu Sungai Utara – Kalimantan Selatan. Kandang kerbau sebagian besar dibangun oleh para peternak di danau-danau kecil atau rawa-rawa yang banyak airnya, terutama pada musim hujan. Hampir semua kandang berbentuk seperti panggung terbuka, berdiri di tengah lapangan hijau luas bermil-mil. Pemandangan alam dengan pesona alamnya, termasuk aktivitas para petani, peternak, dan nelayan rawa danau, menarik perhatian siapa pun yang baru pertama kali melintasi kawasan ini—pemandangan fantastis yang belum pernah saya alami di wilayah lain di Indonesia.

Setiap kali kita melakukan kebaktian gereja di Desa Ipumea – Kabupaten Barito Timur Kalimantan Tengah, kita harus singgah dan istirahat sejenak di sekitar kawasan ini untuk makan siang – karena perjalanan dari Banjarbaru menuju Desa Ipumea biasanya memakan waktu lebih dari lima jam dengan menggunakan mobil.
