Gunung Kunyit

Visited by a fraction of hikers who take on its more famous neighbour Gunung Kerinci, this active volcano, at the southern end of the Kerinci Valley, presents a wonderful challenge. It’s a six-hour hike to the summit through cloud forest from the village of Talang Kumuning, passing sulphur vents en route. You can also look for the hot spring within the crater.
