Rock climbing in Harau Valley is one of the main activities at this tourist attraction, nicknamed "Bundo Kanduang" (Indonesian Rock Climbing Bundle), thanks to its steep granite cliffs that rise 100-500 meters. Located in Lima Puluh Kota Regency, approximately 15 kilometers from Payakumbuh City, West Sumatra, the valley is a popular destination.
You can find surfing lessons around Padang City, especially at Air Manis Beach/Parkit Beach, which is known for its beginner-friendly waves. Several places offer lessons and equipment rentals.
