Sunrise Tour or Hiking Mount Sibayak From Medan

My guide, Hendra, called me a day in advance to make sure we were all set...this was a wonderful foreshadowing of a most excellent day hiking adventure. We met at my Medan hotel in the morning and made the 2-hour drive to the Berstagi village for some sighseeing and shopping for mango, banana and snake fruit to enjoy at the close of our hike. The volcano hike itself was great with various landscapes and terrific views. I wore hiking shoes and that was a good thing. Afterwards, we went for beers at the bottom of the mountain and then headed back to Berstagi for famous Sumatra coffees and Nasi Goreng. After that, it was off to Lake Tago and the famous waterfalls. On our way back to town, we stopped to see some of the famous native Karo artchitectures...not on our tour but as we expressed interest, Hendra was sure to stop for us. Hendra is an adventurist and has great knowledge of the area. What's more, he has a terrific personality and made the tour so enjoyable.
