| Palak Siring Kemumu natural attraction, a cool and good place to relax |
Driving inland from the humidity of northern
Bengkulu, you gradually leave the rice terraces behind and ascend into the
cool, damp hill villages around Kemumu, Arma Jaya, North Bengkulu district. The village of Kemumu is known for its scenic natural attraction called Palak Siring, a lovely, cool and good area to
relax and use as a base for hiking around the clean small river and
surrounding green hills. If you don’t want to do hiking, you can do some short walk
to see the cool panorama or swimming (near the Palak Siring waterfall site) and enjoy
your lunch. You can stay there or easily day trip from the city of Bengkulu. A day at Palak Siring can be a wonderful experience.
