Indonesia | Exploring the Volcanic Wonders of Berastagi 🌋

Tucked away in the highlands of Sumatra, Berastagi is a hidden gem that’s stolen my heart—I’ve visited three times, and it never gets old! Just a hop from Medan, this tiny town is cradled by active volcanoes and bursting with wild beauty. 🔥 Why Berastagi? Mount Sibayak: Hike this active volcano at sunrise! The sulfur vents hiss, the views stretch forever, and the raw power of nature is unreal. (Pro tip: That eggy smell? Pure adventure.) Lau Debuk-Debuk Hot Springs: Soak in turquoise pools surrounded by jungle—your muscles will thank you after the trek. 💦 Hidden Waterfalls: Chase cascades deep in the emerald forest. (Yes, it’s as magical as it sounds 🌿💧.) 🚗 How to Get There: 1️⃣ Fly into Kualanamu Airport (Medan) (Visa on Arrival available!). 2️⃣ Grab a taxi via InDriver (cheaper than Grab!) for the 2.5-hour drive to Berastagi. 💡 Insider Tips: Pack layers! Mornings are crisp, but volcanoes get HOT. Local eats: Try buah markisa (passionfruit) and goreng-goreng (fried snacks) from street stalls. #Berastagi isn’t just a stop—it’s a full-blown love affair with the wild.
