Gunung Sibayak

Gunung Sibayak (28 April 2006)


Gunung Sibayak is one of two major volcanoes within the vicinity of Berastagi, in the Karo Highlands of North Sumatra. The other major volcano here is Gunung Sinabung. Gunung Sibayit is 2094 meters above sea level, and is possible to climb to the peak, a 7km journey that takes about three hours. Another two hours takes you to the hot springs of Semangat Gunung, which is open from 8am to 11pm.

I have not climbed Gunung Sibayak - I hate climbing mountains, to be honest - and photographed it from a distance. Those thinking of climbing Gunung Sibayak are advised to wear good hiking boots and warm clothing, and the temperature is prone to drop suddenly. Food and drinks are also a necessity. Naturally it is not advisable to climb alone.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
