Beautifully located in a valley high up in the mountains. As a foreigner, I felt a lot safer in Bukit Tinggi than I had felt in other parts of Indoensia. The people are warm, friendly and welcoming. This part of Indoensia is totally Muslim dominated but apart from the odd road blocks asking for donations for Mosque building funds, it is a plesant place to visit. Cost of living is extremely cheap compared to other East Coast cities. You could stretch your dollar farther than you thought possible. However, bargain is the rule of the game.
If you are travelling from Pekanbaru, whcih is what we did, beware - the route is a killer. The 6 - 8 hours of winding road is a sure test of your driving skills but the scenery which is breathtaking at times, sure compensates for any negative aspects of the journey.

MUST see near Bukit Tinggi: Lake Maninjau. Hire a taxi to take you to Puncak Lawan and hike down to the lake (leisurely 3hrs). Wear sturdy walking shoes. Then you can go for a swim (the water is WARM!) in the lake.
