Mount Sibayak
Mount Sibayak is a stratovolcano located in North Sumatra, Indonesia, near the town of Berastagi and about 50 kilometers from Medan. It is one of the most accessible volcanoes in Sumatra and is popular among hikers and tourists due to its relatively easy climb and dramatic geothermal activity. The day begins at 4.00am with a hotel pickup by car. The hike is 1.5-2 hours to the top of Mount Sibayak. Enjoy tea/coffee and a light breakfast. Take in views of Mount Sinabung and explore the crater with steaming vents, boiling pools, and sulphur deposits.
This is a natural hot spring with a beautiful view of Mount Sibayak. You can experience soaking in warm water with a very refreshing sulfur sensation. Afterwards, enjoy some hot local food.

I first met Windy when she was my tour guide over 10 years ago, and I especially remember her enthusiasm and energy. On my return to the area, it's great to see she now has her own tour guide business. Windy also showed me the local farmland and lesser know sights around her hometown of Berastagi. The countryside is so beautiful here. She shares aspects of local culture I wouldn't normally see as a tourist. Windy is so comfortable speaking English, which really makes everything so easy. I will certainly return to North Sumatra again.
