Could not find a way down there with my car. The Google Maps directions are wrong and route you through the trees and dirt.

This place is not decorated at all and so many gravity and looks like abandon place, well I think it's not recommended for family weekend place..

Amazing

Very good spot for picnic n nature lovers but neglected from government side

Great place to contemplate, peace & natural

Nice place to hide out from your daily routine

Big and beautiful mosque in the city center of Pekanbaru, capital of Riau province. It has vast courtyard with many functional rooms and meeting spaces on the first floor and the praying space on the second floor. The courtyard has big umbrellas as well, somehow remind me of Nabawi mosque in Madinah. The praying room is spacious, clean and well maintained. The carpet is also clean. At the ladies area, there are clean praying attires or Mukena that we can use. The ablution room is also big and clean. Love it! The parking lot is also spacious. At the entrance I saw ramps for ♿️. But to go up to the praying area on the second floor, I only see the stairs. Maybe they have dedicated room for those using wheelchairs on the first floor.

I've seen much better provincial mosques. The interior seemed old. The outdoor white tile was so slippery

very big mousqe in Pekanbaru.. praying area situated on 2nd floor.. clean and comfortable properly..

Beautiful mosque in Pekanbaru, Riau, Sumatra. Built between 1963-1968. Architecturally, An-Nur is similar to the Indian Taj Mahal. The mosque was designed by Ir. Roseno. The building consists of three floors; the top level is used for prayer and the lower level for offices and meeting rooms. Tourists: make sure to be properly dressed (head scarf, fully dressed, bare foot). Pekanbaru citizens are not used to tourists at all, so they will be curious and children might ask if you are willing to take a photo with them.

What a unique experience we were able to share with our friends here in Pekanbaru as they shared their religion and culture with us. We had never been to a mosque before or attended prayers at one. This mosque is beautiful, and we were able to explore and take pictures.

It’s Big.. yeah Really really big Mosque MashaAllah.. so blessed have been here in Ramadhan. When you in pekanbaru you have to visit this mosque, huge parking space and outdoor area, huge pray area inside the second floor. A very soothing place in the city of Pekanbaru Riau.

Biggest mosque in Pekanbaru, huge parking space but not much tree, air conditioned, very cool inside, nice ornament, the good thing is that there is an escalator , instead of a stairs

Complete and affordable. If you're looking for imported shoes, bags, clothing brands, even snacks, this is the best place to visit. Not recommended to bring your kids along.

Love it. I always buy oleh-oleh here everytime I go to Pekanbaru. They have many varieties of snack with very cheap price..

Crowded. But we can find almost everything here. Raw or ready to eat foods, snacks, cakes, fresh fruits and vegetables, fresh fish, meat, bulk local souvenirs, shoes, cloths, Muslim wears, etc.

You can find chocolate, biscuits, teh tarik, candy, and other food here, and the price is not expensive. Many food is imported from Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Turki, etc.

Cool place for souvenirs, there's a big souvenir shop on basement which has everything u see on internet Not really clean (just like traditional markets generally), but a good place to get a souvenirs with cheap price

2nd floor is very recommend if you looking muslimah clothes, Very complete and various types of clothing, pants, hijab and skirt available here

This traditional market provides many things that not available in other place in Pekanbaru. House dishes, carpets, imported foods (snacks), imported bags and shoes, etc. Be dare to ask for discount ☺

The biggest library in Riau, the conditions was clean and tidy. The service was friendly, the instructions are clear so that all visitors can be comfortable doing activities. Hopefully there will be more new books procured every year, because books now have interesting covers and perspectives, thereby increasing people's interest in reading.

I don't expectact this place is so wonderful, thunsand book on the desks and very wide building. There have restorant, mosque, large parkir, fish tanker, garden, toilet and others. The main building have 5 floors and every single floor always have Wi-Fi.

Awesomely calm and serene place to spend time even if you are too lazy to read some books.

Beautiful design new building of library. The collection are quite good. Great job

We love to hang out here every weekend with my sisters. The book collections are great and the canteen provides nice meals!

Nice place with the unique architecture, like an open book. Awal buka dulu sering ksn, nyari free wifi ☺️.

Very nice, conducive and informative library...

Much help with the Lift, as the location of the elevator, is designed so that not easy to move fast between floors.

Very nice small mall. Got some great stores n shopping to do.

Nice place for shopping, eating and hang out

Great shopping mall in town. Quite complete tenants for all ages. Good job.

Ciputra Mal is near from my house. We went here for shopping, refreshing, eating in the weekend.

Relatively small-sized Mall in Pekanbaru, but packed with lots of places to visit. Fashion centre, culinary, cinemas, supermarket, pharmacy, electronics and more. Toilets were clean, but the prayers room should be improved. Parking lots is, well, lots of problems. Parking space is really lacking for a crowded mall, parking system is such a big business opportunity as well, such as showing available parking place, but there isn't. Or you can put your vehicle outside if you wish, i'm not.

Compact and have enough place to visit. Kids playing ground looks new, clean and bright lighting.. Car park seems to be an issue during weekend, not enough space but overall, it is a good place to hang out

Souvenir and art store, the materials price are moderate 👍

One place to buy souvenir

Product is good but expensive

Souvenir dan textile

Complete

(Translated by Google) Shop for friends there are clothes, food and souvenirs (Original) Toko oleh2 urang awak ada pakaian, makanan dan cinderamata

(Translated by Google) The place is spacious and the parking area is also spacious Easy to reach because of the position in the middle of the city the price is also affordable including cheap compared to other places there sells many typical foods and sells a lot of songket cloth, clothes, headscarves, etc The only thing lacking was the cashier's waiting time but overall good (Original) Tempat nya luas dan parkiran juga luas Mudah dijangkau karena posisi ditengah kota harga nya juga terjangkau termasuk murah dibandingkan tempat lain ada menjual banyak makanan khas dan banyak menjual kain songket, baju, jilbab, dll yang kurang hanya bagian kasir yang agak lama menunggu tapi overall bagus

This place is best choice for you, your children and family, they have some game zone, even the one that take your adrenalin. However it seems not well managed, ground area that have not cemented make the floor and even the water is dirty. More than that if you visit during working hours you just pay Rp.15.000/persons but at the weekends it is Rp.20.000/persons.

Good place for short a day escape holiday. So good for kids learn and play water. Good theme park and so cozy. Parking slot and access entrance so cheap. Recommended place for quality family Time

I came in on sundays and promo days, the pool was dirty

to much rules, minimum services, it's really inconvenience when they check all your bags to know you don't bring any food..., please spend money to buy x ray machine.

dirty, not managed well, far from downtown, bad road to location, dirty toilet and changing room. Overprice for service. Waving pool not continue wave.

Its a fun for swimming

Good place for kids, some spray didn't working as before COVID

Cool place to shop and bring your children. But if you are price conscious then it might not be the best place for you. It's a new conceptual frame for shopping in the neighborhood but it's not good for you, if you want to stop by and pick up a few things, as the parkir charge is quite higher than other malls. Even, the kartu game is 100.000 rp which is almost 2 times than other malls.

This place is so amazing. For The first week opening this mart, many citizens have visited this place. My experience about this place is a innovation mart in pekanbaru and I'm satisfied with the facility and The park is very joy.

The staff working in the supermarket would deserve 5 stars for their kindness and politeness. But the supermarket is really below anyone's expectations. Scarce variety (employees evidently try their best to spread the same items along the shelves to cover a LOT of empty spaces) many of the products don't have the due price tag, some areas smell like unclean, and the "fresh" products are anything except fresh, some of them are even rotten (check the photos) On top of that, prices are really high compared to other supermarkets.

One of the new mall in Pekanbaru city. Its is transmart retail shop. This mall have mini trans studio, so its right place for spend your time with your family.

Very nice place for people in pekanbaru

I like this place. Can shop groceries, clothing, eat and play all in one place. 1 give 4 star because the cleanliness need major improvement or it will look rundown after a while, the ticket for the amusement park on 4th floor is too expensive. I sugest them to make day pass or such so visitor can play all they like at a price. This is major marketing defect.

This place is quite crowded especially when it's a weekend, it's different from Transmart Carrefour Tangerang Center and South Tangerang which are even quiet when the weekend. There were still many empty stands when I went there. There was a lot that needed to be fixed about the arrangement of the items in here.

One of the most favourite mall of Pekanbaru. Always crowded and heavy traffic jam on saturday and sunday. If you want to go to the hypermart the escalator is behind the A&W restaurant. Not too many choices of food restaurant, i ended up at chir chir, good food but a bit expensive. Modern mall. For me, the best is the arcade, very positive and educative for kids which is located on the top floor of the mall.

Mall with largest parking lot. Since they renovate larger, restaurants and snack tenants are more complete. One thing I like the most about SKA is they left several squat toilets. Mall's design flaw is it is square shaped, make you need to take a big turn if walk wrong way.

I very loved this mall, this mall got games, cinema theater, shopping, hair salon, et cetera.

Good mall with many shops, catch a movie, eat fast food, drink kopi. Go thru the underpass to cross to Living Mall.

Very good and a clean big mall. But often it's really hard to find parking because too many people are shopping and hanging out with friends but I still love the mall. Lots of restaurants, cafés, stores and an ice skating rink. But I haven't gone to the ice rink before.

As a first time goer I would say it's okay with the location and providings. You would find a lot of cheaper products than a few minutes away from Transmart. Relatively small though it has some world famous brand outlets.

mall with the most complete store, there are places to eat, hangout, cinema, jewelry store, electronics store, clothing store, toy store, etc.the best place to shop.

One of the waterfalls inside Harau Geopark. Gorgeous view while enjoying coffee and banana fritter.

It was hot so no waterfall. The valley is inundated with home stays. Haphazard development without regulations will eventually spoil this beautiful place.

This is definitely the West Sumatra's Angel Falls. The valley surrounded by majestic walls beautify with several falls, mashaAllah

Very beautiful but dirty place. There is swimming pool under the waterfall. Toilet, street food and drink.

Pros: great valley, great waterfall. come, see. nuff said Cons: place and space in vicinity are not beautifully design and managed. Shops, street and parking space are too close to the waterfall. So its a bit crowded and hectic. Its lost serenity

You can reach this waterfalls nearby the road, enjoy the food near this waterfall, dont forget to waste the garbage into the garbage bin

Beautiful landscape and waterfall. Recommend to visit it. Fresh air, nice scenery and warm people.

Well. As a national treasure heritage, the palace was stunning. Amazing building with so impressive story of minangkabau. But as tourist we want to be threated more affordable price of traditional costume rent and taking picture by their photographer.

Nice experience to know everything about Minangkabau.. the place that you will find the first monarchy in Minang highland. Information about the palace will you find easy. Scan barcode on the wall and the historical automatic describe. Happy holiday

What an iconic palace in west sumatera. one of the biggest and a proof of historical kingdom that ever existed

Worth to visit. It was clean and well-maintained. Beautiful architecture and unique culture. Unfortunately, it was too quiet inside of the castle. Better to add some traditional music or instrument to give more Minangkabau vibes.

Beautiful & huge traditional castle from the Kingdom of Pagaruyung. This one is actually the third replica, after the first and the second caught in fire. Such a masterpiece in architectural design, have look closer to the pillars inside where they have few degrees non-straight structure. The carving is mesmerizing as well. I suggest you to come on the weekdays and after 3pm to have more time walking around, admiring every single details of the castle.

This is just a symbolic palace. Location and the parts are not real. For photo and see how it looks like you may visit. But not very interesting to me.

The place you must visit in West Sumatera. Legendary Traditional Minang Palace. Great architecture with three levels of building, nice scenery, spacious parking area. nice facility, unfortunately the stalls are mostly empty. You can rent the traditional Suntiang Dress for photos.

The stone has a historical background about the quarrel between two brother Datuk Parpatih Nan Sabatang from Agam and Datuk Katumanggungan from Limo Puluah Koto. Two leaders debated about the justice of leader to their society. Because of there is no solution.Both of them crash the stone with their kris magic.So, there is a hole as a solution for their angry.it is a historical landmark in Batusangkar, West Sumatera. The Location near to public facilities and public transportation.

The most historic place in Batu Sangkar.

No parking space

Ok

Historical monument

Good

Cool place.

The dirtiest mountain i have ever climbed. 4 hours going up through tons of waste (and another for to go down) made our climbing a nightmare. at least views from the top of the vulcano where impressing, but it was a disgusting journey...

Beautiful volcano, great views from the top...No need for a guide, the way up is straightforward and if in doubt use MapsMe as it is detailed there. Took us 3hrs to go up from the warung where you register, going down was a bit more painful though. A lot of trash along the path but the crater and views from top are great.

Amazing. Quite popular among local students. Can get slippery during rain. No need of a guide, path is clear. We managed in a day but would be nice to camp up there. Entrance for Indonesians 10000, need to negotiate for buleh.

What a wonderful hike ! we started bit before midnight from the control point. entrance was 25k IDR. Make sure you have comfortable shoes, good warm clothes, flashlights, food and water with you. To get up it took us around 6 hours. the trial is easy to follow but some steps are quite high and tricky to do ( especially in the dark) there is might be moments when you are completely alone on trail or going together with local kids ( with tents and all the camp gear) Sad part is atet there is a lot of trash , and no place where to put it ... We did took ll of our trash back and made sure to bring also others back as much as we could ! Sunrise view is stunning, mixed with the huge crater and complete emptiness. It definitely made one my favourite hikes. You get on top of the mountains and top of the clouds with small opening towards the city and jungle. On the way back we spent less time and energy but still 4,5 hours. Track was wet and slippery in some places as well foggy for the period we had to go trough the clouds. No need for personal guide if you have some bravery and experience in hiking. How ever guide is not a bad choice to make your trip more secure and contribute to local community. Check more photos from my IG @mrgints I acne also give other tips around Sumatra, Bukkittingi, Psaman , Padang and other not so discovered places around West Sumatra.

This review is from a climb of Mount Marapi my wife and I did in June 1977 so it's a bit dated. :) Our morning hike in daylight was straightforward and we encountered only one other person en route, a young Indonesian. The summit was partly cloudy with excellent views and we did not see any of the massive garbage that evidently now covers the route. It's a shameful desecration of the mountain. The volcano gods are angry and Mount Marapi will erupt again with fury.

Most favorite place to hacking or climbing to peak of Marapi Mount. Event a lot missing climber during climbing the mount but still favorite for climber. Marapi still under active volcano in west sumatera, wild life still maintain event enlarge resident area or business project around marapi mount. You still can find sumatera tiger (critically endangered) but very rare.

Must visit when you are in West Sumatra!

Considerable .. surrounded with historical wisatas .. fair rates .. upgrade and renovation on the way ..

Bung Hatta Birthplace Museum in Bukittinggi is a significant historical site, dedicated to Indonesia's founding father and the first Vice President, Bung Hatta. The museum offers valuable insights into his life, his role in Indonesia's independence, and his contributions to the country’s development. However, it deserves more promotion, especially among local young people, as it provides an inspiring narrative of perseverance, leadership, and patriotism. Many young visitors could learn important life lessons from Bung Hatta’s ideals and struggles. By raising awareness and encouraging visits, the museum could serve as a powerful source of inspiration and education for the younger generation, helping them connect with Indonesia's rich history.

Bung Hatta Birthplace Museum is a small but meaningful tribute to the life and legacy of West Sumatra's beloved leader, Sukarno's right-hand man, and one of Indonesia's founding fathers. The museum offers a glimpse into Hatta's early life and his struggle for independence. Located in his birthplace, it provides a unique perspective on the region's history and the role Hatta played in shaping Indonesia. A brief but impactful visit when you're in Bukittinggi!

Indonesia Hero. Bung Hatta is 1st Vice President at Republik Indonesia. He is bringing Indonesia to Freedom and Independece on 17th August 1945 He leave an excellence path on creating Independece, and it's an honour to visit a place or home His birth at Bukit Tinggi @Padang. West Sumatra. We can learn and know a lot about his history and journey from ordinary small kids to the extra ordinary heroes. His maried with Ibu Rahmi from Aceh and blessed by having 3 (three) lovely doughther : Meutia, Gemala, and Halida. May be We aren't know him n his families personally but his effort, struggle, generous, hope and vision to Indonesia generation will be remarkable and will be keep reminding to every generation till end of the world. From deep our hearts and sincere heats. We all can say very thank you Bung Hatta, for your dignity, honour, and efforts to All Indonesia citizens. We all Sallute for You! May God put and keep you in heaven with rest in peace and give us your blesses to continue this struggle fights, bringing Indonesia to next level to become more prosperity, unity with all religion and variant ethnics, growing rapidly, and moving forward as strong nations and admire by others all nations in the words. Aamiin....

An historical place to visit. Two things you can get from this experience: history lesson and see how people live in those days. Very educational and interesting.

The museum is clean and well maintained. The good place to learn Bung Hatta while he was in his hometown. However, it will be more good if there is a tour-guide who can speak English so that if there is foreign tourist, they are not confusing when visiting this palace. No accommodation is needed to pay the ticket.

This place is as like its name, is the place when our first vice president were born. So nothing much to see here, it just a traditional house with traditional utensils, which uses in all over Indonesia household. But great as a reminder that our one of Indonesia's hero was from West Sumatra.

If you wanna know the history of Bung Hatta, this is the place. Where you can see or feel with your own bare hands, the house where one of our proclamator was born.

A cool all-in-one place in Bukittinggi — zoo, Minang cultural house, and a hanging bridge to Fort de Kock. The animals are pretty nice, the vibes are chill, and it’s great for families. Some parts could use a little upkeep, but it’s still a fun spot to hang out!

Heartbreaking from the beginning to the end… Don’t go there unless you want to witness how cruel human can be I bought the ticket for fort Kock without knowing it gave access to the zoo, the fort wasn’t even worth it. I knew the zoo would be bad but I went there to witness it : the first thing you see are two elephants chained to the ground with just 1-2m of freedom, one of them wasn’t able to trim its tusks which were too long for him and where bothering him. Then you can see birds, reptiles, monkey, bears,… in very small and dirty (there were rats eating the animals food) enclosures made of concrete or iron fences. On top of that, most local visitors are knocking on the enclosures to wake the animals and get a good picture. I couldn’t see any signs from the zoo to raise awareness about animal wellbeing.

It's good to be here. I hope every animal get healthy and good place. Everyone that visit this place feeling enjoy and fun. Thanks you...

Very sad zoo. No space for the animals and rotten infrastructure. The Apes and elephants have a very sad life. The snake are in a poor security glass boxes. A brocken broom stick, is not Security!

Located in the middle of Bukittinggi. Easy to find. A good place to take the children to explore the culture of Minangkabau and see different animals. I visited the place during the holiday season and it's very crowded but still clean enough. The zoo has some animals, unfortunately, their conditions are not well. The animals look hungry and people keep giving random food to them. Not many chairs for people to sit around. People often bring their own mattress here. #bukittinggi

It’s just depressing. Tied up and chained so all they can do is just move forwards and backwards in one spot. Most of the animals are in bad shape or don’t have proper enclosures. Don’t support this zoo

The animals here are miserable. They have no space to roam, their habitats are lacking, and it's clear they are not properly cared for. The enclosures are dirty, the animals look unwell. The elephants are chained up and one has its tucked crossed together in a clear sign of neglect. I feel this place should be closed down. Very upsetting to visit here.

Iconic Bukitiinggi’s monument. It’s connecting the zoo and the fort

Jambatan Limpapeh is a unique bridges with beautiful Minangkabau architecture. This bridge is connecting between the Fort de Kock and the Taman Magasatwa. You may visit these three 'Wisata' with once time entrance fee Rp. 15K/adult (local), Rp.10K/kid (local), Rp. 20/adult (international tourist).

Love 💕💕

😍

Nice bridge with unique Minang concept

Nice place to see Bukittinggi City

Great view great touch to connect two main tourist attraction in Bukittinggi

Arrived Bukittinggi today and visited Fort De Kock. Entrance fee 50k, for Bule tourist, which included Zoo entrance. Disappointed with Fort. Description said remnants of 19th century Dutch Fort. A few old canons, a 1935 concrete Tower, which the staff said I could not go into, lots of Gazebos on a hill. Imagination is the key here. Photo is 1826 drawing of Fort. Lucky the bridge across to the Zoo made the day more interesting. I will review Zoo separately. Fort grounds need maintenance.

Heartbreaking from the beginning to the end… Don’t go there unless you want to witness how cruel human can be I bought the ticket for fort Kock without knowing it gave access to the zoo, the fort wasn’t even worth it. I knew the zoo would be bad but I went there to witness it : the first thing you see are two elephants chained to the ground with just 1-2m of freedom, one of them wasn’t able to trim its tusks which were too long for him and where bothering him. Then you can see birds, reptiles, monkey, bears,… in very small and dirty (there were rats eating the animals food) enclosures made of concrete or iron fences. On top of that, most local visitors are knocking on the enclosures to wake the animals and get a good picture. I couldn’t see any signs from the zoo to raise awareness about animal wellbeing.

The visit was worth it. Some of the animals did not have a lot of room, which is always a bit sad to see. Also a great place for a picnic.

One of the best places to spend your time in Bukittinggi. Outdoor playground (with limited rides) and prayer room are there for you.

I went to Fort de Kock as part of my trip to Bukittinggi, and I was fascinated by its historical significance and scenic location. Fort de Kock is a 19th-century Dutch fort that was built on a hill during the Padri War, a conflict between the local Minangkabau people and the colonial forces. The fort was named after Hendrik Merkus de Kock, the commander of the Dutch troops and the vice governor of the Dutch Indies at that time. The fort is not very big, but it has some interesting features, such as the old cannons, the stone monument, and the radio antenna tower. The tower offers a stunning view of the city and the surrounding mountains. You can also see the Limpapeh bridge, a colorful suspension bridge that connects the fort with the cultural and wildlife park across the street. The park has a zoo, a museum, and a traditional house that showcase the culture and nature of Sumatra. The fort is a great place to learn about the history and heritage of Bukittinggi and Sumatra. It is also a nice spot to relax and enjoy the fresh air and the green scenery. The entrance fee is very cheap, and there are some souvenir shops and food stalls nearby. I recommend Fort de Kock to anyone who visits Bukittinggi. It is a beautiful and historic attraction that you should not miss.

The remainings of the old dutch fort are partly visible. Extended by a kebun binatang (zoo) with a few (I counted 3) almost extincted sumatera tigers.

Fort de Kock, Limpapeh bridge and Kinantan Wildlife & Cultural Area are connected in big tourism destination in Bukittinggi, Wast Sumatera. The place is suitable for family vacation and it is still developing.

Nice place to visit and enjoy an outdoor photo shoot facing the Sianok Valley ( down in the canyon) and the Great Wall Koto Gadang (adjacent hill across the Sianok valley).

Which could've been a good experience instead it was ruined by a troop of monkeys! Monkeys all over! Paid 40rb for monkeys!

too much extortion. forced to ask for money in the Japanese tunel area. up to 60000 to help take pictures and guide

Great view

Good place for family time

Great place to hang out and take photos, or just rest and seeing the scenery after walking around Bukittinggi. Lubang Japang also located in this park. Complete facilities, such as toilets, nursing rooms, mushola, sitting area, food stalls, and souvenir market. Be careful with your luggage and food, because sometimes there are groups of monkeys in this area.

A nice place with a beautiful scenery of canyon down below. Don't miss Lobang Jepang (the Japanese tunnel), a big bunker with so many tunnels inside, which has one of the darkest history during Japanese occupation in Indonesia

I've been dreaming about visiting this place since I was in high school and yes it is a wonderful place

You can visit Lobang Jepang in this area, lobang Jepang is a historical tourist object in Bukittinggi City, West Sumatra, located in the Ngarai Sianok area. This underground tunnel was built by the Japanese army around 1942 as a defensive fort and shelter during World War II". Be careful of your belonging, there' alot of monkey in this area 😂

Walk down on river between the cliffs in Ngarai Sianok, will get a great view and a different experience. To reach this river, from the city center you have to pass the road through the village... until you reach the river side. This river is really beautiful, winding, there are no large rocks, shallow water, and even though it is safe for children's activities.

A very beautiful canyon complete with a charming view of Mount Singgalang and there is also a Japanese heritage cave that is connected directly to the bottom of the canyon.

Beautiful park where you can take photo. There was an entrance fee but since I came with a tour package it was paid for. There is a place they call 'lobang jepang', a not so nice history when japanese was in indonesia.

The place to walk yourself when you want a silent walk.. not so many people here when I visited, a path for you to walk, its nice.. Could also be fun to explore with bunch of friends.. Some trash here and there..

Nice place, near and clean. There's lot of monkeys but they didn't disturb the visitors. We also saw an amazing view from Menara Pandang. As for Lubang Japang, it need a guide to enter, approximately 75-85k rupiah per small group.

A nice walk over the wall to the next town along. A steep climb and slippery coming back down. After the swing bridge a local lady asked us for money as she sweeps the steps, we gave her a little something on our way back to be polite but I don't think she is official!

Went here by the stairs 2 times and it was amazing! I took me around 20 minutes to reach the peak and need lot of energy but it was good. Especially I got furry companies there

Great wall of Bukittinggi. Easy climb, with just over 330 steps staircase. Thanks to the local people, the stairs is clean and well maintained (Indonesian standard). There are a lot of trash bins along the way (but alas, like all other places in Indonesia, can't avoid local visitors who like to litter!).. The climb is well paid with an amazing view. Do not forget to visit the Koto Gadang village on the hill.

Nice view and if you take a walk up the long stairs you will see a lot of monkeys. Very few tourists were around when we visited, which made it even better.

Nice walk up a lot of stairs. Have to turn around and come back at the other side. Quite an old bridge... But should support your weight.

I came here early in the morning, around 6.30 AM. The ticket is IDR 10.000 per person (paid at the entrance right below the stairs). The view is otherworldly beautiful and the air is clean and refreshing. But be careful if you're visiting during the rainy season because the stairs are so slippery.

The Great Wall if Koto Gadang, people said. Steep paved ladder down to famous Ngarai Sianok. Above the river is sling bridge connecting 2 sides of the valley. If you want, you can walk to Goa Jepang from Koto Gadang's side.

Puncak Lawang is a true West Sumatran treasure perched high above Lake Maninjau. The panoramic view of the lake and misty hills below is simply mesmerizing, creating a serene and almost mystical atmosphere. The cool mountain air and peaceful surroundings make it an ideal spot to unwind and reconnect with nature. For thrill-seekers, there’s an exhilarating flying fox zip line that sends you gliding over the crater edge—an unforgettable rush! Plus, if you’re up for more adventure, paragliding is also available. With great views, fresh air, and fun activities, Puncak Lawang is a must-visit for both relaxation and excitement.

beautiful peak and mesmerising scenery but the road leading to this place is narrow and winding.

Really great place for sight seeing and chilling (literally). Best to bring a jacket because the breeze might be too chilly for some. There's a cafe / restaurant which you can go while enjoying the view. Be advised that outside foods and drinks are not allowed. Entry fee is Rp. 25,000.- per pax, this includes free parking and a few attractions.

Was all foggy when I visited.. was expecting to see the Maninjau Lake from the hill, wait for almost an hour and the fog was still there. 😅 Place was decent, many pine trees. Good for family outing, spacious place, flying fox, they also offer paragliding experience but the paragliding didnt operating when i was there maybe also due to the fog as well. There was also a restaurant there. Other than that nothing much, they have several selfie spot that you need to pay to take selfie at. Since Im not a fan of selfie tourism, it doesnt excite me at all.. Entrance fee was IDR20.000 if im not mistaken.

Wonderful scenery My experience: must through a long snake/s/crooked road on the way to this place by car. Feeling dizzy on the way🤢. Entry 20000 rupiah per person on weekday n 25000 rupiah per person on weekend. Parking free. Walk a bit to go to the spot. Breathtaking scenery, view of the lake, mountain, cold and calm wind (can hear the wind tho). Paragliding (not sure about the details), flyingfox (25000rupiah up to down, 50000 rupiah from up to down and down to top n 75000 rupiah for full plus with short track of 5 different type of hanging rope), a place to snap a picture with prop (15000 rupiah per prop) also a small place called ethnic village to snap a picture (free) Conclusion: amazing scenery to take a picture, plus a bit of activity to do while on top. BTW the place is still in renovation

Everyone who visit West Sumatra MUST COME here!!! Best scenery overlooking the Danau Maninjau. This wonderful view is not much different from Europe and yes Indonesia is beautiful if you like to explore not only Bali/Yogya. Here is the only place for Paragliding in Indonesia i think. If you love extreme sport, you can pay Rp 850.000 for playing. You can also pay Rp 25.000 for playing flying fox. I recommend to visit at the morning around 9-10. They also have restaurant upstairs to sit, chill and relax. Many photo spots as u can see on my pics. Highly recommended!!!!!

Absolutely stunning. If there are clouds, just wait. We took a taxi there from Bukittinggi and walked from the top to Maninjau, which is about 3 hours

This is one of the most beautiful place to enjoy. Overlooking the Lawang Park is the picturesque Tasik Maninjau.

Surprisingly an interesting place to visit, wasn't expecting seeing awesome sight. Especially, the lake and mountians plus good hospitality by the locals.

A family recreational place with breathtaking view of Maninjau lake. You can also arrange an outbound event here and there are some cottages you can rent. For visiting only have to pay IDR 15,000/person.

6 stars if possible for the view! The vendor is a separate entity. Still learning to provide services for those seeking to appreciate the beauty of Lake Maninjau

Golden view from atop of the mountain looking at the Maninjau Lake. Totally amaze you with its tranquility and majestic creation of God. Ask the locala of the legend to the place will even amaze you more.

Looooveee it. Beautiful scenery where you can see Maninjau Lake. They serve food drinks too. They also have villa that you can book for staying in this area.

Bukit tinggi in Padang, so beautiful and the lake reflecting the hills with fresh air. Come in the morning the view so clear.

The lake view was beautiful from Kelok 44, however no beach to enjoy at the lake. Too many people living closely to the lake. Many fish farms as well. We drove around the lake and some of the areas really got serious threat from the landfall.

You must be amazed by the great view of Lake Maninjau. The atmosphere was cold and very peaceful. Journey to Lake Maninjau is about one hour from the city of Bukit Tinggi. Need skillful driver to get there since the road is small and steep but the views on both sides of the road was amazing and really nice. A little tip, try to get there a little bit earlier in the morning since a lot of rain there, and the mist will cover the lake. When it happen you have no choice but seeing mist covering lake.

Huge and gorgeous lake for soul searching, fishing and maybe a night stay. Dont forget to try local delicacies along and around the lake.

A very scenic and breathtaking panorama there. One of the priceless view we won't forget all our lives. Scenics of the lake from the top is one of our utmost favorites.

Serene and picturesque. Those who are into fishing can find a fishing spot somewhere by the lake

Peaceful and quiet place to read a book, except when all the mosques start their calls to prayer. Extremely loud. So choose your accommodation carefully. Lake water is terribly polluted because of the fish farming industry. Not very pleasant to be in or on the water with all the green algae. But tourists are few and that makes this place worth a visit to rest and relax.

It was my visit in 2005 at maninjau lake, it was very nice wheather. Cloudy moments and sunny in the afternoon. it was a lot of monkey we can see at the moment. Kannoing arround the lake we also visit a land in the middle of lake. It was there a dragon boat festive that make the day very colorful
