Bada Valley Megaliths

Bada Valley Megaliths is an extensive megalithic complex in South Lore District, Poso Regency, Central Sulawesi, within Lore Lindu National Park. The valley contains more than 400 granite megaliths including statues, kalambas and stone jars scattered across villages such as Gintu, Bewa and Kolori. Notable for the 4.5-meter Palindo statue, the site represents one of Indonesia's largest megalithic traditions dated between approximately 3000 BCE and 1300 CE.

Visitors can expect an open rural valley landscape of rice fields, grasslands and rivers dotted with large granite statues, cylindrical kalambas, flat stone lids and jar-like structures. Megaliths are spread across several villages including Gintu, Sepe and Kolori and are reached by walking paths and short treks. The area is quiet and agricultural, with local villages, simple homestays and guides explaining the forms and carvings of human and animal figures.
