Ngalau Indah Cave
Ngalau Indah
A limestone cave in the hills outside Payakumbuh, with stalactites and stalagmites in varied shapes. A platform at the entrance overlooks the town of Payakumbuh.
Ngalau Indah lies on the western hillside above Payakumbuh. Inside, a lit walkway takes you past stalagmites, stalactites and colonies of bats. Outside, there are viewing platforms and playground equipment, and local families often visit on weekends. Entry is cheap, and a visit takes about one hour. It can be a stop on the way to Harau Valley. The cave is slippery, so wear non-slip shoes.
