About

One of them is the phenomenal natural attraction named Lake Kaco in the Lempur area, Kerinci Regency. According to data from the TNKS, the area of ​​Lake Kaco is no more than 90 square meters, and its location is in Gunung Raya Subdistrict, near the border of Bengkulu Province. A little effort is required to reach this hidden lake, which is nestled comfortably amid the dense tropical rainforest of Sumatra. The journey from the center of Jambi City to this unique lake takes up to 10 hours and it is recommended to bring your own vehicle or rent one as there is no public transportation to the lake yet. The first destination is Sungai Penuh, approximately 500 km west of Jambi City. During the trip to Sungai Penuh, visitors will be treated to the green scenery of paddy fields planted with Kerinci's characteristic long-grain payo rice, which is fragrant and fluffy. The smooth and winding road along the spine of the Bukit Barisan Mountains also adds to the excitement of the journey. It is suggested to take the route from Jambi City to Sungai Penuh in the morning to avoid arriving at the first destination too late at night, especially since there is no public street lighting along the way. If you arrive at Sungai Penuh at night, it is recommended to find accommodation immediately and continue the journey to Lake Kaco the next day. Sungai Penuh is the nearest city to Lempur, about 40 km away, and takes about 45 minutes by car.
