Overview
Nestled on the shores of Lake Singkarak in Tanah Datar, Nagari Sumpu offers a unique opportunity to experience the authentic culture and traditions of the Minangkabau people. During this 3-day, 2-night journey, you will stay in a Rumah Gadang, a traditional Minangkabau house known for its distinctive architecture and deep cultural significance. The peaceful village atmosphere, surrounded by stunning natural landscapes, provides the perfect setting to disconnect from the modern world and embrace a simpler way of life. Your adventure begins with exploring the village, interacting with the locals, and witnessing daily activities such as working in rice fields, picking Manila fruit (sawo), and fishing in Lake Singkarak. For those seeking adventure, fun tubing along the Batang Sumpu River offers a thrilling way to enjoy the pristine waters and lush greenery. You will also take part in a traditional cooking experience, learning to prepare rendang and Pangek Sumpu, starting from selecting fresh ingredients at the market to cooking using time-honored techniques.
Beyond nature and culinary delights, Nagari Sumpu is a living museum of Minangkabau arts and culture. Enjoy captivating performances of traditional Minangkabau dances, Randai theater, and Silek Danau martial arts, gaining a deeper appreciation for the region’s rich artistic heritage. If you visit in June, you’ll witness the Sumpu Cultural Festival, highlighted by the exhilarating Pacu Biduak boat race on Lake Singkarak. On the final day, embark on a trek to Puncak Tubia, where breathtaking panoramic views of the lake and surrounding hills await. Before leaving, take time to soak in the tranquil beauty of the lake’s shores, reflecting on an unforgettable journey. Pesona Sumpur is more than just a trip—it’s a rare chance to immerse yourself in the traditions, nature, and warm hospitality of Minangkabau, leaving you with memories that will last a lifetime.
