Day Tour to Berastagi, Medan

#createwithtrip Berastagi Tour is one of the most popular day tour you can do when you are in Medan. Medan in the middle section of Sumatra Island is one of the economic centre of Indonesia and it is common route people travel to Lake Toba through here. Berastagi is about 66 kilometres south of Medan and about 1300 metre above sea level. It is the common resting place for people travelling between Medan and wonderful Lake Toba. The high attitude of Berastagi make it a perfect place for relaxation. There are a few places that you must visit when you are here. Taman Alam Lumbini is a huge Buddhist Temple and a beautiful temple. Mount Sibuyak, the Volcano mountain that is still active and the view from afar is breathtakingly beautiful. You must also not miss the beautiful fruit market, the design of the building is very unique and special. I am thinking of staying a night here next time when I am visiting Lake Toba. strongly Recommended.

SIBAYAK VOLCANO Mount Sibayak is a volcano in Berastagi, North Sumatra, Indonesia. From Medan International Airport is 70 km (2,5 hours) and from Berastagi it took just about 20 minutes by car. The price of climbing Sibayak Volcano depends if you go with a guide or if you decide to go alone. Our guide picked us up in his car at our accommodation at 4:30 am. We drove around 30 minutes to the highest spot possible. It cost 550k IDR (55 AUD) for both of us with pick up and drop off back at our room. Hiking Gunung Sibayak takes with a guide just about 1,5 hours. The not too long hike will take you up to the clouds, with sulfur steaming all around you and panoramic view of Berastagi. We did the sunrise hike and that´s something we can highly recommend you even though it means to get up at 4:30 am. As we started our hike in the dark, we could smell the sulfur immediately. After a while, we heard this really loud noise like a plane taking off:D. And that’s when our guide told us this is the sound of the steam coming out of the earth. Inside of Sibayak is boiling water and the steam is shooting under unbelievably strong pressure through the ground and creates this insane sound! As there is a lot of spots where the hot steam is coming out and holes with boiling water, having a guide with you is a really good idea. After an hour and a half, we made it to one of three summits and waited for the sunrise and the sky colours to the pink and purple. After sunrise, our guide took us for a walk into the actual crater, told us a little bit more about the history of Sibayak and we started our walk back down. During the rainy season, the crater is filled with water and forms a volcanic lake. There is even a possibility of camping right next to the crater with a tent. After the hike, you can go to relax your muscles into hot springs at Semangat Gunung.
