MINANGKABAU HERITAGE, A VISIT TO BUKITTINGGI, PADANG, SUMATERA

#familytravel Our family trip to Bukittinggi, Padang, Indonesia, was a wonderful journey into history and culture. We visited Pagaruyung Palace, a beautiful replica of a traditional Minangkabau royal residence with great architecture of pointed roofs and stunning intricate carvings on the walls. It was a truly awesome experience but the one thing lacking at the palace is that, the palace seems quite dark. Traditional attires with intricate head accessories are available for rent and to make our visit even more special, we dressed in the attire and took photos in the grandeur setting.

With not much else to do, we had a little horse ride exploring around the lively town. #100waysoftravel #weekendgetaways #indonesia #indonesiatrip
