Let us climb the Mount of Heaven, one of the top area of the River Full, downtown district that has bloomed and is 10 kilometers from downtown.
Looking westward, leafy trees meet the Bukit Barisan clusters. Turning to the east, the River City lies in a valley full of solid residential. Lake Kerinci visible with the blue water.
At the top of the hill we could feel the fresh cold air. The fog quickly enveloped the whole scene. The tub was in a dream world. "This hill is a favorite of tourists who want to enjoy all the Kerinci area from a distance," said Couch, a resident Fully River, beginning in May.
Down from the Mount of Heaven, we could get to the Kayu Aro, horticultural and agricultural center of the tea plantation at the foot of Mount Kerinci. Form a carpet of old tea garden plots like motif velvet. Not only captivating, this garden also has a lot of uniqueness.
Netherlands Founded in 1928, Aro Tea Garden clubs became one of the world's largest expanse of tea, 2624 acres, which includes 29 villages. "Tea tree Aro become subscription of the nobles in Europe," said Saiful Kholik Cape, Assistant Chief of Tea Plantation in Kayu Aro PTPN VI.
On top of that green velvet, Mount Kerinci looks stout. Rose as high as 3805 meters above sea level. This is the highest volcanic mountain in Sumatra. Not far from this region there are the Seven Lakes Mountain at an altitude of 1950 meters above sea level, as the highest volcanic lake in Southeast Asia. Beautiful ....
Kerinci seemed more perfect when we know that the area is also rich in art and traditional culture, especially dance and song, which is routinely held at the Lake Kerinci Festival in the courtyard of the lake. In addition, there are also some large stone megalithic relics of the early Christian era, the Lake of Glass, Rawa Bento, smoky Telung Waterfall, and Hot Water Sumurup.
List of nature tourism in Kerinci around 20 objects. Everything has a powerful charm since it is generally still a virgin aka well maintained.
I was so beautiful and full of natural charm of this region, appeared somewhat bombastic title: Kerinci like a fistful of land heaven on earth.
"Anyway, do not die before the Kerinci," the message Bustomi (45), a resident of Mount Seven, Kerinci.
Difficult Access
Unfortunately, many potential nature is not supported by adequate infrastructure. Supporting facilities such as highways, public transportation, and lodging less support. This is a classic problem that hit many developing tourism in the country. Problem access highways can be a serious problem.
Kerinci now be accessed from three locations, namely from Tapan and South Solok, West Sumatra, and Bangko, Jambi. Among the three pillars, the only road from the South Solok Sungai Fully towards good condition, although the winding. Meanwhile, from Tapan and Bangko, shattered the course of destruction.
Road from City to Kerinci Bangko along 60 kilometers of long-broken. Similarly, sections of the River Full Tapan headed. Big hole, the asphalt cracked and chipped very disturbing way.
Some points in the winding streets on the hill was also landslide. As torrential rain, landslides often blanketed the road. Vehicles passing difficult, even if the crossing could be buried under the ruins of the red soil.
"The road here continues deg-degan. Afraid of slipping into the abyss or exposed to debris avalanches, "Faisal said, visitors from Jakarta.
Actually there is also air transport, the Airport Depati Parbo Full River. After nearly three years closed, the airport was operating again lately.
Air travel from Jambi City to Kerinci is within one hour. However, the low frequency of its flights. This last month was the only airline from Jambi to Kerinci, Riau Airlines, and even no longer operating, from the previous two times a week.
Other public transport is also minimal. To travel overland during the 10-12 hours from Jambi to Kerinci is only available a number of minibuses and buses economy. Comfort level is far from adequate.
Well equipped hotel is still limited. But, in the gravel Tuo, Kayu Aro district, there are a number of house residents who become home stay. Guests can stay there while late in the life of residents who mostly worked as a vegetable farmer.
Weak infrastructure to make natural charm Kerinci be neglected, even as isolated. As a result, Kerinci has not been a favorite destination for domestic tourists, especially foreign tourists
