After traveling across the Indonesian Ocean for 30 minutes, the helicopter that we were riding in arrived at South Pagai Island, one of the islands in the Mentawai Islands Regency, West Sumatra Province, Indonesia, April 28, 2016.
From the air you can see a forest area that is still thick and covered in fog, it is really beautiful. Especially the opportunity to see Mentawai forest from the air, including a rare opportunity. In the middle of the forest of North Pagai Island also stands hundreds of houses of Permanent Residential (Huntap) for victims of the Tsunami disaster that hit the area in 2010.
Mentawai Islands is one of the outer regions of Indonesia. Located in the middle of the Indonesian Ocean. Besides being known as one of the main surfing destinations, Mentawai also has a unique culture, such as tattoos, and rural communities that still maintain the traditions of their ancestors.
