7 days in Padang Itinerary

The largest city on the western coast of Sumatra, Padang enjoys a reputation as one of Indonesia's cleanest and greenest cities despite its hub of residential and commercial activity.

Discover out-of-the-way places like Carolina Beach and Pamutusan Island. Visit Pantai Air Manis and Pantai Padang / TAPLAU ( TAPI LAUIK ) for some beach relaxation. Step out of Padang with an excursion to Lake Singkarak in Solok--about 1:25 hours away. There's much more to do: see the interesting displays at Museum Adityawarman, get outside with Danau Diatas, enjoy the sand and surf at Bungus Beach, and head off the coast to Pulau Pagang.
