According to the locals, the site becomes famous due to its unspoiled nature and pristine seawater. This is why most visitors choose it as the place to enjoy sightseeing, relaxation, boat riding, and photography. What feature makes it unique, though? Unlike regular beaches, Tureloto doesn’t have much sandy area. Instead, it features lots of corals scattering all over the shoreline. The next unique feature is that the beach is quite sloping, so the seawater appears more beautiful and safer from swimming. The sea combines with the sand and creates creamy light blue color. On the site, the waves are small as well! Next, you can find a small hut facing the sea. Somehow, it becomes tourists’ favorite spot for resting and sightseeing. Another important feature is the wind, which is quite strong and gusty. #beachvacation #urbanexplorer #uniquelodging

Trekking in Bukit luwung North Sumatra. Best experience yet

#naturelovers Pelangi Indah Waterfall is located in Sinembah Tj. Muda Hulu, Deli Serdang Regency, North Sumatra, the journey takes about 2½ hours before the Lau Luhung Bridge, turn right about 2 km from the main road, where the last 850 meters are a slippery rocky dirt road when it rains. Small cars can still pass, but it is difficult to pass because it is very narrow. Motorbikes must be careful because the road is sloping, rocky and slippery. Entrance ticket including parking 5 thousand for motorbikes and 25 thousand for cars. From the parking lot we have to go down about 100 cement stairs and continue on a slippery dirt path and large rocks. Once at the bottom, all efforts are paid off with beautiful scenery, cool away from the noise of the city, making the heart and mind fresh again. For those who like to soak, they can take a shower directly under the waterfall shower which is not too strong. Unfortunately, around the waterfall there are no toilets to change clothes after bathing or visitors who want to relieve themselves. Hopefully, the management can pay attention to providing public facilities and maintaining cleanliness by providing trash bins so that visitors do not carelessly throw trash. Recommendations for those of you who like to explore natural nature. Do not visit during the rainy season, not only is the access road more difficult, but the water is also murkier and sometimes flooded so that you can't bathe and the beauty is also greatly reduced. If you bring children, you must be extra careful and always under supervision because the large rocks around the waterfall are slippery and difficult to step on. Address: 6M3R+P6J, Tj. Tim., Kec. Sinembah Tj. Muda Hulu, Kabupaten Deli Serdang, Sumatera Utara 20582
