Bonjol is name of a subdistrict (kecamatan) in the Pasaman regency (kabupaten Pasaman), province West Sumatra, Indonesia. It is famous especially for its location as it lies just at the equator. Bonjol is also the place of birth of Tuanku Imam Bonjol, a national hero in the struggle against Dutch rule.
How to get there
Bonjol lies around the Trans-Sumatran highway, approximately 60 km north of Bukittinggi. Every bus going on the route between Medan and Bukittinggi (or Padang) goes through it and crosses the equator there. If you want to get off at the equator place, just ask the conductor in the bus if they can drop you there; it shouldn't be any problem.
