Berastagi is a small town which is a 2 hour bus ride from Medan, the bustling capital of North Sumatra. With nearby Lake Toba getting all the tourist attention, Berastagi has remained a low-key town that’s more popular with weekenders from Medan than foreign travelers. But what stunning volcano scenery one can find in Berastagi. Hiking Gunung Sinabung and Gunung Sibayak on the Karo Highlands are two key attractions in the vicinity. Other sights include traditional Karo villages and waterfalls. Given Berastagi’s proximity to Medan which itself is a short and cheap flight from Singapore and the accessibility of Gunung Sinabung and Gunung Sibayak, I decided to make a solo trip over a long weekend.
