Lake Diatas (Indonesian:Danau Diatas, means: Upper Lake). Lake Dibawah (Indonesian:Danau Dibawah, means: Lower Lake). Solok lies on the Trans-Sumatera Highway, 64 km from Padang and 76 km from Bukittinggi. The town has some fine examples of Minangkabau architechture with horn-shaped roofs and outer walls of wood, completely carved and painted in brilliant colors. 60 km from Solok are the Twin Lakes (Diatas Lake dan Dibawah Lake), which are becoming popular as a holiday resort. Cool mountain air and beautiful landscape seen from the hill between the two lakes have made this spot extraordinary. Set only about 1 km apart, one of the lakes is on a slightly higher elevation than the other. The spot offers an impressive panorama or the surrounding countryside and offers itself excellently to hiking and camping. So, Enjoy your holiday....
