Some of you must have known Konoha. It’s a fictional village in the anime series “Naruto: Shippuden.” Despite only being fictional, the description of the beauty of Naruto’s village is so famous among its fans.
Konoha is depicted as a beautiful village with a breathtaking view surrounded by cliffs and hills. It’s so gorgeous that people think it’s a real village they can visit.
As there are many Naruto fans in Indonesia, netizens in this country are trying to find a place like Konoha. Among the possible places is Harau Valley in West Sumatra.
At the end of the year, you can spend the holiday there with your family. With such a picturesque panorama, you can do many fun activities like the Konoha people.
Harau Valley is one of the most beautiful valleys in Indonesia. It lies in Lima Puluh Kota Regency, West Sumatra, 137 km away from Padang. People believe that the valley used to be part of the sea because marine sediment was found there.
It takes about 4 hours to drive there from Padang. The tourist destination has natural attractions and history, which can broaden our knowledge. There are several tourist destinations in Harau Valley.
Harau Valley is surrounded by cliffs of 100 to 500 meters high and a slope of up to 90 degrees.
At night, the sky is supremely beautiful. The sky above the high cliffs is full of constellations and looks like a painting. No wonder many people call the panorama of Harau Valley at night the “view of heaven.”
Located on a plateau, Harau Valley presents 7 feast-for-the-eyes waterfalls.
You don’t need to climb the cliffs to enjoy those waterfalls’ beauty. The waterfalls are accessible because they are right by the main road. So you can see them clearly through windshields.
According to Pesona Indonesia website, you can find many rocks aged about 30 to 40 million years in Harau Valley. Many stones there are soft and fragmented, even smaller than sand.
The rocks in the valley contain organic carbon from organisms, and they have to be conserved. In 2023, Harau Valley was designated as a Geopark by UNESCO.
With gorgeous natural attractions, glamping is one of the fun activities to do. There is a camping ground with unique and themed tents. The themes are Minang, Asian, and European.
Glamping in Harau Valley is budget-friendly. You only need to pay Rp450,000 to Rp1,200,000 per night to enjoy facilities equal to those provided in 3-star and 4-star hotels.
You can take the Padang-Payakumbuh route to reach Harau Valley. After Payakumbuh, you’ll arrive at the border of Lima Puluh Kota Regency. Afterward, it takes about 3.5 kilometers to reach the gate of Harau Valley.
You won’t be bored despite the long trip. You can see the green and stunning scenery en route to Harau Valley. There are vast rice fields with high cliffs in the background.
