 It’s been a long time :D after 5 years ago finally  back to gunung tujuh. it’s the second time I went to Gunung Tujuh. Yayy !! :D

Danau Gunung Tujuh is located in pelompek village, Gunung Tujuh district, Kerinci, Jambi within Kerinci Seblat National Park. The tallest of them rises 2732m above sea level, while lake  surface sits at 1950m. I went with friends from my village (it’s called Lubuk Nagodang). We drive 3 motorbikes and it tooks 1 hour to drive to pelompek village. Arrive in Pelompek village, we have to parking motorbike. Then we have to climb about 3 hours (it’s depend on you ) to reach Danau gunung Tujuh.

Along the route, we were treated very beautiful view. this region has a cold with a typical view of the countryside, the fields of local residents and cool tropical forest exciting to be tracked.

Since  a long time I didn’t climb, I felt so tired. So, I took a break for a while then climb again. I can’ t count how many times I took a break till reach it. Lol :D then finally I reached it yayy !!

It was really fun there ! There was part of the natural pool where we can swim. the lake so clear with fresh air and the amazing view are awesome. Really enjoyed it, made me feel so much better after we did our long trip.

Had agreat experience with friends and unforgettable. we met my another friend in Gunung tujuh, he was camping with his family for one night. His family invited me for camping one night. Unfortunately,  I can’t join their because pawel have to left kerinci to go to padang at night to run visa.

Having fun with friends is amazing!. Enjoy the nature and I’m for sure wanna go back there again to enjoy the camping.

It was one of the greates places I’ve ever visit
