Holidays in Minangkabau
If 'dull' is how you'd describe your life at the moment, then it sounds like you need a new adventure! Why not book a ticket to Minangkabau and lose yourself in the beautiful beaches, jungle and rainforest of Sumatra?
It's located 940 kilometres to the northwest of the capital of Indonesia, Jakarta.
Does watching sunrise with the dazzling ocean as your backdrop sound appealing? Then don't miss a visit to Pulau Pagang, 75 kilometres to the south.
Mother Nature's handiwork is on full display around Minangkabau. Just 30 kilometres away, Mount Singgalang is a great place to start. Lemba Harau sits 35 kilometres away and is another picturesque spot to enjoy some peace and quiet.
How about visiting Jam Gadang and Taman Bundo Kanduang Park? These great sights are very close to the middle of Bukittinggi, just 30 kilometres northwest. Use this as a base for a while and start exploring!
An exciting way to explore the local landscape is to partake in an outdoor adventure. Mountain climbing is one of the most popular activities in these parts. But if that doesn't pique your interest, there's always hiking.
When it comes to taking it easy, few things are better than getting outside and going sunbathing or bird watching.
Making your own itinerary is liberating, but sometimes it's nice to let somebody else take the reins. Guided nature walks and wildlife spotting tours offer an easy and enjoyable way to explore the region.
Are you interested in spending time by the water? Add a splash of excitement to your trip with a bit of swimming or snorkeling.
Step through the doors of the region's craft workshops and take in all that they have to offer.
Go on a nice stroll and make the most of the fresh air at the surrounding area's open-air markets.
If you're looking to uncover the region's past, why not swing by some of its traditional villages and historic palaces? It pays to do a little research beforehand so you don't waste any time.
Are you searching for a bit of peace and quiet? Don't be surprised if you find what you're seeking at Minangkabau's mosques, temples and shrines.
Whether you enjoy the thrill of Michelin stars or gnawing on a snack from a street stall, tasting the local food and drink is one of the best things about travelling. So why not tingle your taste buds by trying some of the area's mouthwatering offerings?
Are you partial to pork? What about dog? Whether you're crazy about them or not, they are two traditional ingredients commonly used in the cooking here.
When the locals talk to you about their favourite foods, you'll probably hear rendang (spicy buffalo meat dish) or pempek (deep fried fish and sago dumpling) mentioned a few times. These classic meals are part of the region's identity and ought to be on any foodie's list.
If you never refuse the dessert menu, you're not going to be disappointed. Try rujak (fruit salad), an enticing treat that's sure to hit your sweet spot.
Celebrated throughout the entire country, Independence Day takes place each year on the 17th of August. If you're going to be here during this important day, it'll be hard not to get swept up in all the action!
Time to pack your belongings and head home? Be sure to catch a final sunset in the gorgeous Sumatra region before you bid farewell.
If you're travelling by plane, you'll likely go through Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL). It's 370 kilometres to the north. Pack your bag, map a route and set your alarm!
