Bukit Khayangan
A viewpoint at about 1,500 meters known as the 'Land Above the Clouds,' overlooking Lake Kerinci and the entire Kerinci valley.
Bukit Khayangan lies in the Renah Kayu Embun area of Kumun Debai district, Sungai Penuh. It is about 40 minutes to 1.5 hours by car from the town, depending on road conditions. From the summit viewpoint you can see Lake Kerinci, the town of Sungai Penuh and the distant Kerinci volcano all at once. Clouds often blanket the valley in the morning, which is why the hill is called 'Negeri di Atas Awan.' There is a simple entrance fee and parking charge, a few snack stalls at the top, and some people camp here to watch the sunrise.
