Gundaling Hill, Sumatra, Indonesia
4.0 (136 reviews) Spent More than 3 hours Ranking #4 in North Sumatra Mountains
a little touristic
Most visitors to Berastagi will climb Gundaling Hill, only 30 minutes from the town center. At the top you will have a clear view of the two volcanoes, but the place is relly ruined a little with so many souvenir shops and cafes. Good to be here for sunset, if you are lucky with the weather --- we were not!

Gundaling Hill
Gundaling hill is one of the famous tourist attraction in North Sumatra. The landscape is very beautiful with cool air. The entrance fee to gundaling hill is Rp 4.000/person. In gundaling hill, we can ride the horse with the price Rp 35.000/person. Here also available photographers who are willing to take our pictures with a beautiful scenic backdrop of gundaling hill. To use the service we just pay Rp 15.000 for one photo with A4 paper size. Here we can also see the beauty of mount sinabung and mount sibayak, and the expanse of agricurtural land in Karo Land. But there are things that reduce the beauty of gundaling hill, which is a lot of scattered waste around this place and many visitors who are not obedient to the rules of traffic. So we have to be careful when bringing small children here. In this place also provided various kinds of souvenirs such as live flowers and food at quite affordable prices. In addition, what makes this place comfortable to visit is a friendly locals to visitors.

Peaceful
Having been to many of Indonesia's islands, I can give my expert opinion that the word "peaceful" is not always easily associated with this culture. I don't mean it as a criticism, necessarily, it's just that the people tend to crowd around in the crowds can be very overwhelming at times. But in the case of Gundaling Hill, there were not mobs of people trying to sell stuff to tourists, nor were there mobs of annoying tourists making a lot of loud complaints. This is a peaceful location with an astonishingly beautiful view of Lake Toba. It's a long trip to get here, and you're still quite far from your established destination... So you wont spend too much time here. But if you find yourself in this region of Sumatra, you really do need to take a few photos, and enjoy some quality peace & quiet for a few minutes.
