Sempajaya Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)

Berastagi Fruit Market

Entering this market makes me smile because there were many of my favorite fruits were sold here and in many variety of size. From mango, mangosteen, passion fruit, oranges. I also tried fruit that I rarely seen. Price wise is reasonable. Not only fruit, they are also selling flower seed. Close to the parking area, there are many small warung who sell young coconut and local snacks. Before commit to buy, asked for tasting sample which is a norm there. There are few stall selling hot food such as steam nuts and grilled corn. Outside the market there was a horse riding service (didn't ask the price) and some people peddling small souvenirs. Sellers there are not too pushy to sell their produce. #urbanexplorer #happylaborday #maydaytrip #uniquelodging

Good experience in Brastsgi

Gunung Sinabung 😍

Head out on this 6.9-km out-and-back trail near Karo, North Sumatra. Generally considered a moderately challenging route, it takes an average of 4 h 32 min to complete. This trail is great for backpacking, camping, and hiking, and it's unlikely you'll encounter many other people while exploring. The way to climb Mount Sinabung is quite uphill, you will be treated to views of tomato, chili and corn fields at the beginning of the climb. You will also find a road with large rocky cliffs that must be climbed, it is highly recommended not to climb during the rainy season because the rock cliff roads will become very slippery and dangerous.#tripblazers #spooktaculartrip #fallingforfall #deliciousfood #couplestrip #hiking #staycation

Mikie Holiday Resort

this is beautiful holiday resort and i had an amazing time. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, the rooms were spacious and clean, and the views were breathtaking. The resort had plenty of activities to keep us entertained, from swimming in the crystal clear waters to relaxing at the spa. The food was delicious and there was a great variety to choose from. I would highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable vacation! #wecreate

There are child-friendly rides, too, which makes this theme park the best choice for a family holiday destination! #mountainview #themepark #games

Must visit Place ❤️

This place is perhaps one of the best holiday destinations in Sumatera among other funlands. It is very family friendly and offers many for us to enjoy (but they don't have roller coaster yet, so bad). For thise coming with kids with the height under 90cm, they donot have many to offer. But older kids or adults will find many games to enjoy. Prepare your own drinks and foods as what they sell on site may be too pricy for most visitors (i.e. a small bucket of popcorn cost us 25k). Other than this, Mikie is very enjoyable. Parking is free and its parking lot is large, with regular shuttle bus circulating to transport visitors to the main gate. One my favourite amusements theme park in North Sumatra. Easy to reach from Downtown Berastagi and alot of parking space. but during some holidays season it would be very crowded. i recommended to buy ticket via online to avoid long queue. Also this place is affordable for wheelchair user.#spooktaculartrip #fallingforfall #awesomepic #deliciousfood #staycation #couplestrip

Pinggan Pasu by Kalang Ulu

They serve the hotel guests and also open for public. We have great experience here. Their foods and drinks are great, but quite pricey if its just for the dishes. But considering their views and panorama, and counting the design of the cafe itself, it was worth it. I recommend this place if you want to have a great lunch experience with a view in Berastagi. Make it one of your bucket list. #wecreate

Kalang Ulu Berastagi

One of the tourist sites in Berastagi which is currently becoming a favorite among tourists, is the Kalang Ulu hotel. In this hotel, tourists can enjoy the atmosphere of the inn that presents a beautiful natural atmosphere. If you look at the architecture of the building and the atmosphere presented at the Kalang Ulu hotel, this hotel takes a blend of two cultures between Japan and Bali. There is also a cafe for guests to enjoy food in the midst of the fresh air and beautiful scenery. very suitable to relax and breathe fresh air. #naturalwonders

Mount Sibayak

One of the mountains is suitable for people who are climbing for the first time, tracking is not too steep, the view is good, and meeting friends from outside the area, as well as abroad, but it's a shame because there is a lot of trash scattered around, if you go to tourist spots, always try to bring it home Trash yourself, always maintain good manners in a place like this, those who bring vehicles check the health of the vehicle because the path to the parking post is quite steep and the road is rocky.

MOUNT SIBAYAK

Mount Sibayak is a mountain in Karo Regency, North Sumatra. The Karo tribe call Mount Sibayak as "mountain Raja". Mount Sibayak is a volcano and last erupted in 1881. This mountain is located about 50 kilometers southwest of Medan City. Nowadays, Mount Sibayak is visited by many people because there are many accesses to Mount Sibayak, starting from Sibayak 1 and Sibayak 2. Every August 17, at Mount Sibayak there is a routine ceremony and climbing competition for all nature lovers from all over the world. #triplocal #themeparks#nationalpark#lakes#beaches#infinitypool

Mount Sibayak

Easy to get to from Berastagi town, this is a 1k walk ('climb' is a bit overstated, though there are some sharper inclines and steps) which can be undertaken by anyone who is reasonably fit. The pathway is clearly defined, though we had a guide. It takes about an hour to get up and slightly less to get down. There is a small charge to take the access road and, for safety, it is recommended that you register your names both on the ascent and the descent. (There is a large permanent notice at the registration hut listing the names and nationalities of those who have died in trying to 'go it alone', so getting lost is a genuine possibility if you leave the well worn trail.) Once on the ridge of the crater you will be able to see the sulphur streams shooting out of the hillside and can walk down onto the floor which is covered in water. It is a shame that previous visitors have thought it appropriate to 'write' their names using rocks on the floor. It makes getting a natural photo difficult. Fortunately we went on a day when there were no campers at the top and just a handful of people. I'm told that at certain times of year it can all get very busy. We followed our volcano experience with a visit to the local hot springs a few kilometres away. A small charge was expected for entry and they were genuinely quite warm! #urbanexplorer #happylaborday #maydaytrip #nationalpark

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.
