Spend a day exploring the natural wonders around Lake Maninjau, a scenic volcano lake in West Sumatra that’s famous for its beauty. Surrounded by various fruit and spice trees, it’s so beautiful that in fact, that the first president of Indonesia, Sukarno, even wrote a short pantun praising it!

You’ll start your journey by first heading to Koto Gadang, famous for its silver handicrafts, and then up to Puncak Lawang to admire the beauty of Lake Maninjau. Then, you'll get to have a look at the process of making brown sugar and Matua style fried peanuts, before heading down Kelok 44 to look at Maninjau Lake from up close!
