As you explore the winding road beside Mount Geureudong on the way to Takengon, a small town with a population of no more than 230,000 in Central Aceh, your eyes will be entertained with a visual concert through the pine trees by your side, a series of tropical vegetation dotted with shelter semi-permanent, and looks stunned by local children patiently waiting for the labi-labi to pass through them. The wind on your face will gradually cool down as you pass through the mantle of fog. Here, the average temperature is almost permanent about 20 degrees Celsius, or 68 degrees Fahrenheit. Finally, 100 kilometers from the western edge, the small town of Takengon welcomes you.
Takengon is the capital of Central Aceh District. It is situated to offer some of the rare you have to see. The food is unique and important to note. Agro tourism and activities around Lake Laut Tawar are the reasons to extend your stay. Not to mention the legend of a princess who turned into stone with her invisible guard observed. This is far from nonsense when we mention in the first place that Aceh is truly the spiritual gateway to Indonesia.
Come and see your own attractions. The story you send will be too good to be true, and too valuable to miss. This is Aceh, and it makes a wonderful start to your journey across the archipelago.
