Agam Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jul)

NGARAI SIANOK, WEST SUMATRA

In the Minangkabau highlands, precisely on the border of Bukittinggi City and Kab. Agam, West Sumatra, there is a valley flanked by steep rock cliffs. The area which is widely known by tourists as Ngarai Sianok has a view like a natural painting that is very amazing. Sianok canyon has two steep walls that face each other and are almost vertical, and at the bottom of the valley there is a river that meanders between the green rice fields. #triplocal #themepark#zoo#nationalpark#lakes#beaches

The scenery is really good!

The place take their beautiful scenery as major selling point. The scenery is really good. Good staff. Some dishes are good and some average, but it's worth to visit this place just for cup of coffe. They also have traditional cottages to rent. The main thing that you have to do in this place are taking pictures. Because this place offers very great view. Mountain, valley, river, this place have it all. This place is also one of the shooting spots for the TV show Gordon Ramsay: Uncharted (Season 2 Episode 4) You need to travel a little bit further into the suburb area of Bukittinggi to reach this place. Be careful on the way, because the road is too narrow for 2 cars. #summervacation#urbanexplorer

Great view of Ngarai Sianok

Another good place for tourism destination at around Bukittinggi city. The place is quite difficult to reach, since the road is a bit rocky and only fit for one car. If you want to go here, at least rent a car with experienced driver. However, when you reach the top, all those effort worth all the pain. You can see the lonely hill surrounded by all the other hills in the middle. It's so beautiful you can watch it for a long long time. Recommended if you plan to stay at least 2 days in Bukittinggi. You'll surely gonna miss to come back again! #summervacation#hikingtrails

good place

MUST GO place when you visit BUKIT TINGGI

The place is excellent for relaxing while enjoy breathtaking scenery overlooking the danau maninjau. A good place for taking a photo and relaxing time with family and friends. The best time to come is in the morning. We can see the whole blue lake from here. It's quite far from town but worth to visit. This place located around 1 hours from bukit tinggi. There is also a small cafe here. #bukittinggi #awesomepic

Uncovering Merapi’s Veil 🌋

If you are in Yogyakarta, you cannot miss going to one of the most active volcanoes in the world - Mount Merapi. Situated about an hours north of Yogyakarta, we hired a private vehicle to take us to the village of Umbulharjo, near the foot of Mt Merapi, where we then transferred to a jeep to take us up to Bunker Kaliadem, about as close as we can get to Mt Merapi. Bunker Kaliadem is located 4.7km away from the summit of the volcano, is a fantastic place to view the vista of Merapi. The shelter itself, is also a testament to the sheer power of nature. It was officially opened in 2005 but quickly met its demise in the 2006 Merapi eruption, where it failed to protect 2 persons who sought refuge within its walls. It has since fell into disuse and our visit to the bunker allowed us to have a look into the amenities that were available within - a small washroom and a store room that used to keep supplies like food and oxygen, but has since been overtaken by bats (see third photo). Climbing on top of the bunker is where you can get unblocked view of Mt Merapi. Our anticipation was initially met with a veil of mist and clouds obscuring the majestic peak (see last photo). Patiently, we waited, and as the clouds moved along, we were rewarded with a glimpse of Merapi's towering summit, a sight both awe-inspiring and sublime. Being able to capture the volcano in its full glory, my heart was full! #WinHKFlight #winhkflight I want to go to Hong Kong as I want to immerse myself in the vibrant streets, bustling markets, and iconic landmarks of Hong Kong. Choi Hong Estate, Lau Fau Shan Fishing Village and Tai O tops the list of places I want to go 📸
