BEYOND KERINCI: EXPLORE THE SECRET VALLEY OF SUMATRA

Most climbers come for the volcano, but they return for the valley. Kerinci Seblat National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage site that offers far more than just a summit push.

From the sapphire waters of Lake Kaco hidden deep in the rainforest to the highest caldera lake in Southeast Asia, Lake Gunung Tujuh, this region is a paradise for explorers. Walk through the endless green of the Kayu Aro Tea Plantation, meet the warm locals of Lempur Village, or chase waterfalls untouched by mass tourism.

This is your guide to the hidden gems of Kerinci. Go beyond the summit.
