Lubuk Alung - Nyarai Waterfall is one of the most beautiful waterfalls we found in West Sumatra. This waterfall is located in Gamaran Forest, Jorong Gamaran, Korong Salibutan, Kec. Lubuk Alung, Kab. Padang Pariaman, West Sumatra. It takes 2 to 3 hours to reach the waterfall, if it starts walking from the mouth of the forest.
The journey to the waterfall begins with passing through the rice fields of residents, after that along the ulayat forest or forest residents of the application.
During the journey we will pass some beautiful lubuak, there Lubuak Lalang, there Lubuak Ngugun, ponds of natural stone formed, then Lubuak Batu Tuduang, in this ponds the potential of many fish, and Sikayan tabiang.
The route through is not dangerous, if not in the rain the road that passes is very exciting. It takes 2 to 3 breaks, the first break in the forest, the second break at the crossing.
Nyarai Waterfall, if it is estimated the height of the waterfall is approximately 7-8 meters, if the summer splashing water is not too heavy. The interesting thing about this waterfall is a large pond, with greenish water, this pond is right in front of the waterfall.
The flow of water from the waterfall to the pond, in the weir by two stones like doors, like a dam that controls the flow of water coming in from the pond. All the sides I've told are made naturally.
Nyarai Waterfall also holds another interesting potential, inside the green pond there are fish, fish can be caught with a spear gun or by fishing. It takes a special skill to catch fish with a spear gun, because it must dive while chasing with the fish. The taste of the fish is amazing, enaaak !!!. The meat is very tender, sweet and savory. Sweet because the taste of the meat and tasty because of the skin.
So here we can swim as much, catch fish and play swings from the roots of trees. Time will not be felt during the waterfall, which is felt is the pleasure and thanks to the Almighty over creation.
