    Kaolin Lake image
    The blue color of the lake hust contrast with the white surrounding. Just careful when you come here, do not let your feet get into the water since you will get stuck and very hard to pull you off. REMEMBER: follow every words from your TOUR GUIDE! The white kaolin surrounds the lake could suck you up if your feet got into the water. The sunrise moment is just the amazing one! You should see it! See more..

We were very lucky, because we saw the Independence festivities in the villages and people had on their beautiful and colourful traditional costumes. In a village, we also saw a family making the famous cakes with durian fruits!!! See more..

    Bodies of Water
    Lubuk Nyarai image
    I rent a motorcycle in Padang. Cheapest rate I found is with Riverside Hostel where it only charge 60k rupiah. 2 hours drive from Padang. If u lost perhaps 3hours. There is a counter where you need to register urself before u go in. With a local guide. Trust me, just pay for the guide if u are alone, think like this, you paying for an insurance, if anything happen there is someone to assist. Not much 100k rupiah for it. I tip another 50k after that. Is bad to travel in wet season, is slippery and alot of liches. Can't swim too. But this is the best waterfall I visited in Sumatra. On that day, no tourist or local. Only me, my guide and a cat. Just be extra careful when u trek in wet season. 3hrs trekking in another 2hrs out. GPS location : 00°40′12.73″S 100°20′08.48″E Dun miss this place. Cheers.

    Lake Kaco image
    12 Km to and fro. Mandatory to wear rubber boots because the track is muddy. Do not wear your hiking shoes because they are going to get wet - at least 5 small streams to be crossed. Track is not so steep. A good deal walking. Bring protection against mosquito and leech. The water is cool, blue and refreshing. A sip of fresh tea at the bank of the lake is a truly peaceful moment indeed. See more..
