When someone visiting North Sumatra, they used to thinking to visit Lake Toba. But Lake Toba is not the only attracting place that located in North Sumatera, Sipiso piso waterfall is another place that you shoul d visit when you arrange your holiday trip to Lake Toba. Sipiso-piso waterfall was located on the shores of Lake Toba, unfortunately this Sipiso piso waterfall is a very interesting tourist attraction but less visited by tourists because of its location on the edge and located not in Parapat city, where tourists usually visit.
Sipiso-piso is located in the north of Lake Toba, about 24 kilometers from Kabanjahe. This waterfall is the highest waterfall in Indonesia with a height of 120 meters. Sipiso-piso waterfall made from an underground river in the Karo plateau that runs through a cave on the side of the crater of Lake Toba.When I had occasion to visit this place, the scenery was incredible. A small waterfall, but high fall in between the cliffs greenish. From the viewing post built by the government, visitors not only enjoy the scenic waterfall, but also they can enjoy the beautifull sight seeing of Lake Toba.
Sipiso-piso waterfall is about 800 meters above sea level. Waterfall flowing down the cutting of green hills covered with pine trees. Sipiso-piso itself literally means "blade".Not only can you see the waterfall from a distance, but you can enjoy it in close distance. The stairs are steep and far enough away so make sure you have strong stamina and bring drinking water supplies. Trip to go down may not be a problem, but hundreds of stairs to climb back after playing of course is quite tiring.Viewing post itself is quite huge, and frequently visited by local tourists. Unfortunately substation infrastructure in this view is inadequate. There are only basic facilities such as toilets and food stalls, which I think the number of the toilet that available so less and inadequate hygiene. Visitors who want to explore this area further more should stay in a nearby village, which is Tongging.
Tongging located on the shores of Lake Toba, in the north. In Tongging you can perform various activities, such as swimming in the lake, do trekking in the jungle, or visit a small waterfall called Sidompak. You can go up to Mount Sipiso-piso, and did paragliding from the top.
Besides swimming, you can also ride a boat hired from local fishermen to get around the lake. Cycling from one village to another is also a fun activity to do in Karo residents. For you who fans of ethnic fabrics, you can go to the Village Silalahi in Sabungan, Dairi. The village is located about 11 km from Tongging.Tongging Villagers are mostly fishermen and farmers. They farmed rice and onions as well as fishing in the lake Toba. Arsik fish and the red fish is a common species of fish reared in Lake Toba. You should try the traditional dish of fish with seasoningSome options include accommodation in Tongging Sibayak Pensions, Pensions parultop, and Roman Sinasi Bungalows, all of which exist in the Road Silalahi, Tongging. Travelling here is perfect place for the backpacker on a budget because it was cheap accommodation.Go to Sipiso-pisoWhen I visited Sipiso-piso, I was traveling around North Sumatra early in Medan, through Kabanjahe, to Sipiso-piso, Siantar, Parapat, Tuk-Tuk, and ended up in Bukit Lawang.Due to the limited budget, I chose to use public transport through Pematang Siantar. From Berastagi I use public buses that go to Kabanjahe-Tanah Karo district capital, at a rate of less than five thousand dollars.In Kabanjahe, I used the rural transportation across Merek. From the main road junction, I chose the motor rickshaw to reach gardu panjang. Fromgardu panjang you still have to travel by public transport or rickshaw to Tongging, with declining street.For those of you who use a personal vehicle, a trip to Sipiso-piso easier. From Berastagi, you will only take about 2 hours. Landscapes and countryside in Tanah Karo is very interesting, unfortunately the road is not good. So, be careful.
