Location: East Kalimantan, Indonesia
Description: In the middle of a forest here sits a huge and tall rock standing almost 10-stories high called Batu Sicien. Since the early days when the hives are full, the local people here will ascend to the peak at night then precariously abseil to harvest honey from massive beehives. They do this by cutting off pieces of honeycomb using a sharpened bamboo. Honey which comes from here is claimed to be of very high medicinal value.
