Mount Singgalang, Stratovolcano in West Sumatra, Indonesia

Mount Singgalang is a stratovolcano standing at 2,877 meters in the Barisan Mountains near Bukittinggi town. The summit crater contains two lakes surrounded by thick moss-covered forest.

Mount Singgalang forms a twin volcano with Mount Tandikat, which lies to its south-south-west; only Tandikat has recorded historical volcanic activity, so the 1800 eruption belongs to Tandikat, not Singgalang. The Tandikat-Singgalang pair is monitored by the Global Volcanism Program of the Smithsonian Institution.

The two crater lakes at the summit are named Dewi (Goddess) and Kumbang (Beetle). The main trail begins at Pandai Sikek, a village known for its hand-woven songket cloth, and passes the hamlet of Tanjuang in Kenagarian Pandai Sikek. Locals call the mid-mountain transmitter site RCTI/TVRI.

The main climbing route starts from Koto Baru Market and goes through the TVRI transmitter station to the summit, taking around 4 to 5 hours. The path crosses different elevation zones, so bringing layers for varying temperatures is wise.

The summit holds two crater lakes, Dewi (Goddess) and Kumbang (Beetle), a pairing the Indonesian source describes as a single lake, Telaga Dewi. The mountain is a twin of Mount Tandikat to the south-south-west, and the pair is monitored as Tandikat-Singgalang by the Smithsonian's Global Volcanism Program.
