Itineray sumatra three weeks - need help

Pulau Weh is well worth a visit. Stay at Ipioh for great snorkelling and diving.

I think West Sumatra is the nicest part of the island and you are skipping it altogether (Padang itself is hardly a place to visit).
Pulau Weh would be too far out of your way.
Kerinci doesn't need 6 full days.

Hi Lazlo, so - where is west sumatra - defined, which locations? I was actually under the impression that Padang was a nice city to visit.
Regarding Kerinci, we want to so some tours there (climbing kerinci and tujuh, so we would need those days).

So you like the rest of the itinarary?.

I agree on Pulau Weh being too far away.

Kerinci is a 2 days climb, Gunung Tujuh a short day.
So that's 3 days in total.

Of the places you have listed, Padang, Bukittingi, Maninjau and Harau are in West Sumatra. Of course, there is much more. You could easily google a map of the province to see what it covers.

I might also swap the Banyaks for the islands off Padang, for reasons of location.
The latter have less accommodation though, I think.

Yeah i did that. Ok, I've checked the Mantawais. They seem more for surfing. I am looking more for snorkeling and white beaches, but that seems to be more Banyaks.

I didn't mean the Mentawais but the much smaller islands much closer to Padang.

Yep, they look great. Pagang, Sironjong, Sikuoi, Cubadak, Sirendah, like those right?

Yes, those.

No need to stay in Medan, just go direct from the airport to Bukit Lawang.
