Experience the serene afternoon mist at Lake Lau Kawar while sipping local coffee and watching birds return across the vast lake. Embark on a volcanic hike in the crisp morning air to catch the sunrise, witness the city lights fade in the distance, taste unique fruits that grow only in this region, or discover hidden waterfalls as you explore the villages of Sibolangit, where warm volcanic streams flow through the landscape. Tanah Karo is a land of a thousand charms.
Located on the highlands of Berastagi, it offers fresh air and cooler temperatures—an ideal escape from the tropical heat. Known as a center for fruits and vegetables, international travelers can visit the traditional fruit market, enjoy fresh produce, and admire the surrounding farmlands. Visitors can also explore the cultural heritage of the Karo people by observing the traditional Karo houses and learning about their customs.
Discover the natural beauty of Lake Lau Kawar, situated at the foot of Mount Sinabung. The lake offers a tranquil and pristine environment, surrounded by lush green hills. For those interested in hiking, Mount Sibayak in North Sumatra holds great potential for international tourism, especially for nature lovers, hikers, and adventure seekers.
This active volcano is relatively easy to climb—taking about 2 to 3 hours—making it one of the most accessible mountains in Indonesia, attractive for both beginners and experienced hikers. Its summit provides breathtaking sunrise views over the highlands and mountains, as well as sweeping panoramas of Berastagi and Medan from above.
With its sulfur crater and geothermal activity, the mountain presents a unique geological landscape perfect for photography. At its foot lies the natural hot spring of Lau Debuk-Debuk, rich in sulfur, offering an ideal place for hikers to relax and recover after their climb.
You can also visit the villages of Sibolangit, which feature beautiful agricultural landscapes such as Negeri Suah, where warm and cold river streams meet. Or venture into the Sibolangit Nature Park, home to two waterfalls—one blue, and the other green—hidden within its lush terrain. Sibolangit is blessed with hundreds of freely flowing rivers that wind their way down to the lower lands.
Green, pristine, and full of wonder.

Notes
No air conditioner, it is best for you to rest, if the next day you are going to do jungle tracking. Net bed you are going to e the variety of insects after the night comes so you have to get protected by that while you are sleeping. No enough internet if it really needs it you can move to another area Down the hill and a bit far beetween Village and palm oil farming. Try to avoid insects without feeling disturbed by them.
