Bakongan River Estuary
Bakongan is a sub-district in South Aceh Regency, located on the coast of the Indian Ocean. Bakongan has 1 river, the upper reaches in the ranks of Barisan Mountains. The mouth of the Bakongan river is at coordinates 2°55'11.7"N 97°29'13.4"E. To reach it from the Tapaktuan-Subulussalam highway it took 8 min (650 m) by car.
Some river estuaries we observed on the west and south coast of Aceh, at the mouth of the Bakongan river is the shortest place we visited, approximately we only spent 30 minutes. We only consult with a local resident. Then we immediately continue the exposure to the next target.
