Kelok 44
Kelok Ampek Puluah Ampek
A road of 44 hairpin bends that winds down from the crater rim to the shore of Lake Maninjau, each bend numbered, with views over the lake and rice paddies along the way.
The road descends about 600 meters from the crater rim near the town of Anbalan to the lakeshore of Maninjau. It is about 10 km long, and each bend is marked with a numbered sign. It is a famous section of the Tour de Singkarak cycling race. You can stop at viewpoint bends to look out over the lake, and monkeys are often seen along the roadside. Travelers prone to motion sickness should prepare in advance. If you drive yourself, watch out for oncoming traffic and buses.
