Get ready for an unforgettable day trip through the natural wonders of Batusangkar with us. The adventure begins with the tranquillity of the morning in Nagari Pariangan, a stunning village nestled at the foot of the Bukit Barisan range. Here, you’ll be greeted by the cool morning air and a light mist that slowly reveals the beauty of the valley and the expanse of lush, terraced rice fields. As the sun begins to rise, the journey continues to Bukit Aua Sarumpun. Imagine walking across vast expanses of grassland, treated to a natural panorama of Lake Singkarak from above, perfectly complemented by the majesty of Mount Singgalang and Mount Marapi in the background. Just a few steps from this breathtaking view, you’ll be guided down to experience the charm of Lake Singkarak first-hand. Surrounded by lush mountain ranges, the lake’s expanse offers an enchanting landscape and extraordinary tranquillity that will momentarily make time stand still and restore your energy. To round off a perfect day, we’ll head to Puncak Pato. From this highest point, you can take in the splendour of the lush valleys and the green mountain ranges stretching as far as the eye can see. Have your camera ready, as this is the ideal spot for capturing the serene sunset, creating sweet memories before the journey comes to an end.
