At 1996m, the beautiful caldera of Danau Gunung Tujuh is the highest in Southeast Asia and makes for a pleasant day ascent or part of a multiday trek. It takes 3½ hours to climb to the lake from the park entrance, which is 2km from Pelompek village. Camp near the lake if staying overnight. 

The name of the lake means “Seven Mountain Lake”. It has that name because this lake is surrounded by seven mountains: Mount Hulu Tebo, Mount Hulu Sangir, Mount Madura Besi, Mount Lumut, Mount Selasih, Mount Jar Panggang, and Mount Gunung Tujuh.

Wildlife in this area includes tapirs and Siamang gibbons, and one of the signature sounds of the Kerinci forests is the hooting and howling call of the gibbon.
