This mountain is the highest in Lampung and offers some of the most challenging yet rewarding hiking in the province. Unlike most peaks in this area there are actually some wonderful open views on the higher slopes of the mountain and both flora and fauna remain relatively undisturbed. Lying just under an hour’s drive from Danau Ranau it makes a great long weekend trip from either Palembang or Bandar Lampung.
Starting from a village with several traditional Minangkabau houses, pleasant farmland quickly becomes unlogged, lush forest and an excellent, litter-free trail brings you to the summit area with views to the famous cliffs of the Harau valley. Gunung Malintang provides a great alternative to following the tourist hordes and trail of litter up Gunung Marapi, or the more challenging Gunung Singgalang.
Gunung Pantaicermin is not a popular destination for hikers, and it is probably because of this that the trail is clear of litter, there are pitcher plants growing undisturbed on the higher ridges, and at least one of the few Sumatran tigers in this part of the island stalks its prey on the lower slopes of the mountain. There are very few decent views due to the dense forest, but it makes for a great outing if you’ve already done West Sumatra’s more popular peaks.
