Bukit Barisan Peaks
Distant views of the rugged mountain spine of Sumatra to the west, often shrouded in morning mist.
Batanghari River
Observation of one of Sumatra's longest rivers snaking through the dense lowlands of Jambi province.
Sumatran Jungle Canopy
Vast stretches of tropical rainforest and agricultural plantations characteristic of the central Sumatran landscape.
Cloud Formations
Massive cumulus clouds frequently gather over the inland mountains, creating dramatic vertical scenery.
Early morning flights are best to avoid the heavy afternoon cloud cover that often obscures the inland terrain. Keep an eye out for the silver reflections of the meandering Musi and Batanghari rivers during the mid-flight segment.
