Aceh Besar is one of the districts in the Province of Nangroe Aceh Darussalam which was expanded in the late 1970s. At first, the capital city of Aceh Besar was in Banda Aceh. However, after the city of Banda Aceh split into a municipality, the district capital was moved to Jantho in the Seulawah Mountains.
The tourism potential in Aceh Besar is very large. Not surprisingly, Aceh Besar became one of the cities in Aceh whose economy was quite good. Despite being one of the cities hit by the tsunami, it was quite severe about 14 years ago, but the city continues to improve. Some tourist destinations are ready to welcome us to vacation there.
For those of you who like challenges, it's not wrong to try to climb to the top of Bukit Kuta Malacca. At this location you will be treated to a beautiful natural landscape that extends wide, as well as a stretch of terraced Bukit Barisan.
Bukit Barisan Peak is in the Samahani area, Kuta Malaka District, Aceh Besar District. The distance is about 30 Km from the center of Banda Aceh City. A little advice, if you go to this place, use a double axle car to make it easier for you to pass the steep road. But this fatigue will be paid for with all the natural beauty that is able to relax your eyes.
Arriving at the intersection of Tumbo Baro Village, Kuta Malaka Subdistrict, there will be a two-lane highway about 100 meters long. Formerly this area was planned to be the capital city of Aceh Besar. but somehow the plan hasn't materialized.
After passing Lam Ara Village approximately 1 Km, you will feel the real journey. The 5 km road to the top of Kuta Malacca is still covered in red soil. If it doesn't rain, the dust will scatter and if it rains the road becomes muddy. This makes it difficult for anyone who wants to pass it. So, you have to use a vehicle that is able to break through heavy terrain.
Before you get to the top, you must first pass four tributaries that are directly connected to the waterfall at the top. The tributary that you must cross is an average of 30 cm so that it is not too dangerous. After passing through several tributaries, you will find the gate leading to the top. Here there are a number of officers on guard and selling entry tickets. You only pay Rp. 10,000 per person to go to Pucak.
