Mountains and hills are preferable for me to the beach. They served me well with their many flowers and plants. Two famous regions in Jambi Province are located on the mountain. They are utterly charming; Kerinci and Merangin.
Besides their richness in flowers and plants, those regions also have amazing waterfalls and valleys. For those who love challenging traveling, they are paradise. Mount Kerinci is one of the highest in Indonesia.
Indeed, you have to pass a long road from the capital city of Jambi to get Merangin and Kerinci (more than 10 hours by car). Yet, you would not be disappointed.

Jangkat in Merangin Regency has this beautiful waterfall. The steep pathway to reach it is nothing compared to the sensation I get from it.
Kerinci region and its mountains are the most favorable tourist destinations in Jambi Provinsi. Here you can meet a huge tea and coffee farm, mountain climbing activities assisted by local people, coffee shops, and villas at the mountain foot, and the enchanting nuance of rural farming.

Kerinci is also known for the presence of Kerinci Seblat National Park. Lush trees and clear-flowing rivers are natural riches that are protected from the threat of deforestation and other illegal activities.
