A Slice of Paradise, the Harau Valley – Sumatra, Indonesia
Want to get off the beaten track and away from it all, relax, take a break from lugging that backpack around for a while? I’ll let you into a little secret - make your way to the Harau Valley. Lodgings consist of small huts in the middle of lush tropical foilage overlooked by sheer towering faces of multi-coloured rock. Acres of flourescent green paddyfields add to the visual effect and the river that runs through the valley is complete with sun dappled bathing pools and refreshing cascades that throw gushing, gurgling and tinkling sound effects into the still air. We stayed 3 days and didn’t see another tourist! It was a slice of paradise.
Amazing shots!
Thank you

Thanks Andy – it was so peaceful – actually most of Sumatra was amazing like that
What a great place – did you happen across it by luck or did you know about it before you went?
It was in the footsteps guide – lonely planet didn’t mention it!
What’s this Footsteps guide? Really love the shots of the second hut – both the exterior and the colourful interior!
Unfortunately not – don’t get paid – it’s all free info!!! thanks for the comments
