Sibayak is the main attraction of Berastagi, it is very likely that your accommodation can help you arrange a guide for your trek.
The trekking takes approximately 3h and can be done without a guide, although if you’re aiming to reach the summit for the sunrise we strongly recommend hiring a guide. Because of the low difficulty of climbing, it has been a touristic attraction since colonial times. Mount Sibayak is a volcano located on the outskirts of the city of Berastagi. While Sumatra is home to 68 volcanoes (it is located in what is known as the Pacific ring of fire), one of the most visited is Mount Sibayak.

There are only two places in the world where orangutans can be seen in the wild and, while Tanjung Puting National Park in Borneo is the more popular option due to the way it is set up for tourists to see semi-wild orangutans, Gunung Leuser National Park in North Sumatra is more authentic, respecting more the animals’ natural behaviour. On of the main reasons people visit North Sumatra is to explore its jungles and, more specifically, to see orangutans.
