The Singkil River is the longest river flow in Aceh which is directly connected to the Aceh highlands, namely Southeast Aceh Regency.
Down the Singkil River with the aim of heading to the old settlement which is no longer inhabited due to land subsidence in the estuary area. There is no road to reach the location, the waterway by boat is the only available transportation. This activity aims for scientific studies.

Interesting, you can do this tour at any time of the year or the river flooding does not allow it?
Actually this is also part of the test of guts, the water sediment on the left and right of the river is a crocodile nest. The local resident assured us that the crocodiles that inhabit this river are not ferocious.
River floods often occur in that place.
Crocodiles! sounds dangerous even if they are not fierce. Take care of yourself, buddy.
