Kuala
Baru is different from most places and it is well worth a visit. It is
isolated, traditional and beautiful. Kuala Baru is located on a narrow
strip of land between a huge beach at the ocean and the swamps with its
black mysterious water. The only ways to reach Kuala Baru is by river
canoes from Singkil, by boat in through a river mouth nearby, or walking
for 25 hours from Kedai Trumon in the north. This isolation has
preserved traditional lifestyle and values, best seen in the handicrafts
produced here. Kuala Baru is famous for its embroidery.
The locals are
very
happy to see visitors, but you need to respect their way of life, which
is not difficult. Muslim rules do not apply for non-Muslims but a bit
of respect when you are in the villages make people happy. Don’t use
shorts that end above the knees, use a t-shirt instead of a singlet. For
girls, use a T-shirt in order to cover your shoulders. Cover the legs
above the knees. A good idea is to use a sarong, the Indonesian
wrap-around. If you go swimming, walk north along the beach. You gain in
privacy, the beach is better, and the locals don't get shocked.
