Reaching Padang from Baturiti involves a long journey across the Indonesian archipelago. The most efficient way is to fly from Ngurah Rai International Airport to Minangkabau International Airport in Padang, typically with a layover in Jakarta. Alternatively, you can take a long-distance bus that travels through the Trans-Sumatra Highway, which is a very long and demanding route. The flight takes about 6 hours, while the bus can take up to 45 hours.
Total Distance: 2,000 km driving distance; 1,850 km straight-line air distance.
