Getting there

Car

If you're driving, start from Pekanbaru, the capital city of Riau. Head southwest on Jl. Soekarno-Hatta, which will take you toward the Kampar Regency. After approximately 60 km, you'll reach the town of Bangkinang. From Bangkinang, continue on the main road (Jl. Raya Bangkinang) for about 30 km until you reach Tanjung Alai. Here, keep an eye out for signs indicating Pulau Gadang. You'll need to turn onto a small road leading to Pulau Gadang. Ulu Kasok is located within this area, and you may need to ask locals for the exact spot as it can be a bit tricky to find.

Public Transportation

If you're using public transportation, start by taking a bus from Pekanbaru to Bangkinang. Buses leave frequently from the main terminal and the fare is around IDR 30,000. Once you arrive in Bangkinang, you can either hire a local taxi or use an ojek (motorcycle taxi) to get to Tanjung Alai. The cost for an ojek to Tanjung Alai should be approximately IDR 20,000 to IDR 30,000. From Tanjung Alai, you may need to walk or ask locals for directions to Ulu Kasok, as it is a smaller, less-known location.

Combination of Car and Boat

For a more adventurous route, consider driving to a nearby river and then taking a boat to Ulu Kasok. From Pekanbaru, drive to Bangkinang, and then head towards the nearest river dock (often locals can assist you with directions). After reaching the dock, hire a local fisherman or boat service to take you across the river to Ulu Kasok. This boat ride may cost around IDR 50,000 to IDR 100,000, depending on the distance and negotiation.
