Gunung Tujuh

Getting there: There are regular flights to Padang’s International airport from Indonesia and neighbouring countries. It is then a long 6-8 hours drive to the starting point. There is public transport but it will take you a whole day. If travelling from the south it takes around 6 and a half hours from Bangko or 1 and a half hours from Sungai Penuh. Try Oki transport who hire cars (both shared and private) between Sungai Penuh and Bukittinggi. From Kersik Tuo, head down to Pelompek (8km) where there is a sign for the turning to Gunung Tujuh.

Permits: Available from the homestays in Kersik Tuo for Rp20,000 per person (2013) – take a photocopy of your passport photo page. If you need to arrange a boatman in advance try Sahril on 085380974190 (note these are very basic dugout canoes).
Water sources: The lake itself is the obvious source of water and a stream flows into it at the recommended camping spot about 5 minutes clockwise round the edge of the lake.
Accommodation: Try the Booking.com map above or use this link to search for suitable hotels, homestays, resorts and apartments for your trip.
We recommend Safety Wing as travel insurance for overseas travellers and tourists hiking up to elevations not exceeding 4500 metres.
