Hello hiven, this time I want to share a story about my trip or maybe my climb some time ago with friends to a mountain in North Sumatra. The mountain which according to the surrounding residents is a mountain that has a million charms and also hidden myths in it.
Some time ago, my friends and I went on a trip to Tebing Tinggi, North Sumatra, we, consisting of six people, intended to take one of our friends who married the woman of his heart in Tebing Tinggi. After a long journey, we finally arrived at the bride's house in Tebing Tinggi, North Sumatra. After following the customs there, we also asked for permission to go back to Aceh because we had our respective activities. Before returning to Aceh, one of my friends invited us to stop or climb to Mount Sibayak via the tourist route.
For information, Mount Sibayak has a height of 2,212 meters above sea level (7,257 fit) and is located in the Karo highlands, Karo Regency, North Sumatra. Administratively, this mountainous natural forest is included in the category of Bukit Barisan Forest Park (Tahura). The highest peak of Mount Sibayak is called Takal Kuda This is the Karo language which means Horse Head. Mount Sibayak itself has several access points to get to the top from Sibayak 1, Sibayak 2 and tourist routes, this mountain is visited by many young people because of its uniqueness and also the extraordinary natural panorama that we can meet while there. One of the uniqueness of this mountain is that it has several craters which are still active until now.
Long story short, we finally arrived at the top of the crater of Mount Sibayak, we chose the tourist route due to the short distance traveled and we also saved time so that after that we could go straight back to Aceh considering we all have our own busy lives there. After resting for a while, suddenly a thick fog accompanied by a storm enveloped Mount Sibayak. we who did the climb through the tourist route did not have time to make thorough preparations, we could only take shelter in a tent. After the storm subsided, we immediately rushed down to avoid things that were not desirable, because according to the myth there if the fog or storm that came suddenly it was a sign that something mystical would happen.
Maybe this is a short story about our trip some time ago to Tebing Tinggi and also to Mount Sibayak which may have many shortcomings in writing and also the storyline which may be irregular and also complete, in this case I apologize because I am still in the process study. I really hope for criticism and suggestions from all of you, so that I can develop better in the future
