by Location | Bengkulu
Bengkulu is
Sumatra’s most isolated province, bordered by a high range
of hills and covered with forests. Its west coast is dotted
with isolated white sand beaches, and its interior is
sparsely populated. Few visitors come to the province, but
for the traveler who is willing to forgo luxury, a trip
through Bengkulu is like stepping back into another era when
the pace of life was more relaxed.
The capital of
the province is Bengkulu, a small town that has managed to
preserve its traditional atmosphere. Northern Bengkulu is a
nature lover’s paradise, dotted with lakes, waterfalls,
and hot springs. Remote Enggano Island, off the coast,
offers a fascinating glimpse of Sumatra’s primieval past,
with villagers living much the same way as they have for
centuries.
For the
adventurous traveler, Bengkulu promises a wealth of
unforgettable experiences.
