Lange Beach paradise hidden in Aceh

Lange Beach is located in Lampuuk area, Aceh Besar. From this beach too, you can enjoy an interesting spot known as Ie Rah Beach, two fountains that slide from behind the rocks.

Exoticism Lange Beach is still "virgin" to make a lot of traveler or local backpacker curious to follow the beauty behind the mountains.

The trip starts from Banda Aceh to Lampuuk Tourism Area. It takes about 30 minutes with a distance of about 20 Kilometers. Or if you pass the Banda Aceh-Lhok-Nga highway about 15 minutes past the entrance Lampuuk Beach,.
There is a Joel's Bungalow information boards plugged in there as a guide. We turn right up to meet the famplet to Lange Beach and Lampuuk Mountains.

Turn left to continue the trip. Touching the deserted forest. Entering the streets, rocks, and uphill. We are guided Rahmad Taufik who has twice to Lange. We parked a motorcycle in a saung for having planned a night there.

Must climb Mount Lampuuk before reaching Lange. This is the most difficult phase. Climbing with a 45 degree incline takes an hour. But after going down the mountain, there saung bamboo that we can use as a place to collect energy.

Next we along the flat winding path. The width of this jeep car looks like a river. We followed it with small stones arranged neatly as a foothold. Tropical rainforest canopies our trekking. Also, afternoon sunlight emits light through the crevices of the large-rooted trees.

the condition of the forest as in the scene of a Hollywood movie about Dinosaur "Jurassic Park,". Half an hour passed, we finally reached the hill that ended the journey. Some big pandan trees beautify the natural scenery. The Indian Ocean stretches as far as the eye can see. The sun sinks with its roundness. The beach line looks clean underneath it with a deep yellow color. Lange Beach is like a long canvas ready to be covered with twilight.

about 500 meters to the right of Lange Beach. Down the hill, along the scaly coastal sand. We really like walking in the desert if it does not sound the waves. The sun pinks out in seconds. While we had to pass through a large cliff with a height of 4 meters to reach Ie Rah. There are two options. Climb it carefully. Or take the ocean side to cross through a rock gap.

After that, we walked through the cliffs, like ant colonies walking on the small stones of the yard.

"That's Ie Rah Beach," said Rahmad Taufik while pointing to two spots that spout fountains in the distance.

Two water points glide from the rocks on the beach. Like a water pump. Shower height can reach 5 meters. The scenery is almost wearing. The day will be dark. We immediately set up a tent for a restful stay. There was plenty of firewood around it, facilitating our preparation.

The stars flickered in the sky. The waves pound against the rhythmic reefs. The roar of the sea and the sound of animals pounding from the wilds behind the tent. The campfire that danced enough to make us cool to enjoy Ie Rah. Away from city noise, residents, and load hormones vanish in the head.

But the sun rises invisibly from Ie Rah. Even so, the feel of the morning remains peaceful. Fountains of coral reefs.
