Through the upper hills to these beautiful three lakes and the Talang volcano, it’s always cool there, tea plantations on the way, still authentic and so scenic!
These twin lakes and their smallest brother, the Talang lake, surely the wildest, nestled down the Talang volcano
You can drive around the Diatas lake, wide and open, you will need little more than an hour, the road is in good condition
The Dibawah lake to the contrary, set amidst cliffs, is really worth the ride! Less than an hour.
It’s usually way cooler than Padang, this is the veggies growing area that feeds this city, local life is very lively, it seems time has stopped
If you left early enough from Padang, the Singkarak Lake and its bucolic western bank, sparkling along the road as the sun sets
