Itinerary

Your Sumatra adventure begins as our friendly JavaRoutes guide greets you in Medan (Kualanamu International Airport or your hotel). We'll embark on a scenic drive, leaving the city bustle behind for the emerald embrace of North Sumatra's countryside. Our destination is the charming village of Berastagi, nestled amidst volcanic peaks. After a delicious local lunch, we'll venture deeper, trekking through lush plantations and dense jungle paths. The reward? The breathtaking sight and refreshing spray of Sipiso-piso Waterfall, one of Indonesia's tallest. Feel the mist on your face and capture stunning photos before we continue to our cozy guesthouse in a local village, where a traditional Sumatran dinner awaits. You'll settle in, serenaded by the sounds of the jungle, ready for the discoveries tomorrow.
