Mount Sibayak Sunrise Hike or Day Hike from Berastagi

We had an incredible private tour with Nusan! He took care of every single detail, making the entire experience completely stress-free and memorable. Nusan was incredibly adaptable to our schedule and handled all the seamless arrangements—from visiting the elephants in Tangkahan to trekking into the jungle of Bukit Lawang to see the orangutans. To end our tour, he took us to see the sunrise at Mount Sibayak and even prepared tea for us at the summit while we watched the sun come up. Nusan even invited us to his home for a delicious, home-cooked vegetarian dinner. If you are looking for a thoughtful, organized, and locally-owned guide service, we highly recommend him!

Overall, our experience with Nusan was exceptional. He is a handsome, humble and highly knowledgeable guide who genuinely cares for his clients. Throughout the hike, he ensured our safety, provided food and hot drinks, and never once left anyone behind. His storytelling about history and nature added so much value to the journey, and he always knew when to give us encouragement or a well-timed rest stop. On top of that, he is a sincere person who never asks for payment, entertains with humour, and surprises us with unique forest ‘magic’, including special plants and wild berries. With his professionalism, warmth, and dedication, Nusan truly made our Gunung Sibayak adventure unforgettable.

Such a great experience! We’re so glad to have Abg Nusan as our guide. He was very sporting, patient, and incredibly supportive throughout the hike. He even treated us to sweet coffee and Pop Mee while we enjoyed the stunning view from the top of Mount Sibayak. Thank you, Abg Nusan!

Best experience 🤗 glad to have Nusan as our guide . Very sporting, patience and supportive for us as the beginner 🤭 make the whole hiking enjoyable with his stories and knowledge.

Recently went to medan specifically to do this hike. The highlight of my trip definitely! Our guide (Nusan the one whom fetch us from our hotel & our main guide, John is such an easygoing/knowledgable and accommodating person) For a firsttimer hike, we wasnt really prepared and had not bring any extra jackets or torchlights, but they literally borrowed us thiers. John always takecare, and be wary of our surroundings for us ensuring we didnt trip while hiking up those steep rocks. once we've reach the top there is other tourguides too, and all of them cares for all the tourist ensuring everyone is safe and happy. On the way back down the gunung, John even showed us and teaches us alot of things, like the 'predator plant/banana leaves used for homes, pegaga leaves etc'. I definitely had no regrets and am really happy with the service rendered. I would recommend to everyone 100%! Thankyou so much.
