Gunung Sago

Getting there: Payakumbuh is easily accessible from Padang and Bukittinggi in the west and Pekanbaru to the east. The starting point at Sikabu village, via Situjuah gadang, is best accessed with a motorbike. A good option if you don’t have a motorbike is take the express bus to Payakumbuh or arrange a drop-off by private car in Payakumbuh or Situjuah Gadang – then find an ojek for the ride to Sikabu. Better still, the guide we connected with picked us up in the centre of Payakumbuh with some friends and took us to Sikabu direct. It’s a long walk back from Sikabu to Situjuah Gadang if you don’t remember to book an ojek to pick you up, or have your guides and his friends to take you to catch an express bus back to Bukittinggi. Guides and GPS Tracks: Want a PDF version for your phone? Looking for a guide? Need GPS tracks and waypoints? Gunung Sago information pack can be downloaded here. Permits: None required but take a photocopy of your passport photo page just in case. Water sources: Available in several places (notably Shelter 1 and Shelter 2) by descending left off the trail, but for a short hike you can take sufficient supplies with you.
