Divji raj južno od Padanga – Rimba Ecolodge, Sumatra, Indonezija

Večina turistov pride v Padang zaradi otoka Siberut in svetovno znanega trekinga med ljudstvom Mentawai ali pa zaradi svetovno znanih surf spotov nedaleč stran. Po obisku le teh Sumatro ponavadi iz Padanga tudi zapustijo. No, že pred našim prihodom na Sumatro smo izvedeli, da je južna Sumatra pravi raj za popotnike. A ker časa za pravi odhod na jug ni bilo, smo se odpravili le malo bolj južneje od milijonskega Padanga in uživali v tropski idili. Rimba Eco lodge leži na prav idilični lokaciji. Tik ob toplem tropskem morju, v neposredni bližini koralnega grebena ter s tropskim gozdom vse do peščenih plaž. V morju vas čakajo želve, morski psi in ostala živa bitja, na kopnem glasni giboni. Je idilična lokacija, sploh če uživate v neokrnjeni naravi, odmaknjeni od civilizacijskega vrveža. 🙂

Most tourists come to Padang because of the island of Siberut and the world-famous trekking among the Mentawai people or because of the world-famous surf spots not far away. After visiting those places they usually leave Sumatra straight from Padang. Well, even before our arrival to Sumatra, we found out that the South Sumatra is a paradise for backpack travellers. However, since we didnt have time to travel also to the southern part of the island, we went just a bit south from the town of Padang and enjoy the tropical idyll of Rimba Eco Lodge. It is located in a very idyllic location. Right next to a warm tropical sea, near the coral reef and tropical forest all the way to the sandy beaches. In the sea you can watch sea turtles, sharks and other living creatures and on the land you can listen and watch noisy gibbons. It is a charming location, especially if you enjoy the unspoiled nature, away from the hustle and bustle of civilization. 🙂
