Dormant Gunung Singgalang (2877m) is a more adventurous undertaking than Gunung Merapi, and it’s very difficult to find someone in Bukittinggi to guide you up. Highly recommended English-speaking guide Dedi (0813 7425 1312), based in Pandai Sikat – the best starting point for the climb – charges 200,000Rp and the climb is an eight- to nine-hour round-trip. There are campsites by the beautiful crater lake, Telago Dewi.
