Morning trip to Takengon

Continued from The beach at Kuala Raja.


Soon its time to go to Takengon, the town on top of mountains.


As I passed this bridge the driver said this is the Peusangan river which originated from a vast mountain-top lake besides the town.


The road soon twists and turns as we climbed up the highlands.








There are parts that seemed to be perpetually under repair.


There are small towns apart from refreshing greeneries...

















Wes stopped at a town not far from Takengon for lunch.





I noticed a mighty-looking peak in the background. A check using Google Earth shows it is more than 9,000 feet high from sea level while the town sits at about 6,000 feet lower.
