Air Terjun Si Piso-Piso - Medan


Sipiso-piso waterfall is actually situated in the north of Lake Toba, about 24 kilometers from Kabanjahe. This waterfall is the highest in Indonesia with a height of 120 meters. Sipiso-piso Waterfall is made from an underground river in the Karo plateau that runs through a cave in the crater of Lake Toba, but unfortunately a very interesting tourist attraction is less visited by tourists because of its location on the edge of town Parapat different, where tourists usually visit .
Sipiso-piso Waterfall is located at an altitude of 800 meters above sea level. Cascading waterfall to cut the green hills covered with pine trees. Sipiso-piso itself literally means "knife". If you want to see Sipiso-piso from close range, you have to go through a steep staircase and far enough away so make sure you have a strong stamina and bring drinking water supplies. The decline is probably not a problem, but the hundreds of steps to climb back after playing in the water of course is quite tiring. Well when it began to fatigue, visitors can stay in a nearby village, named Tongging.


Tongging located on the north shore of Lake Toba. In Tongging you can perform various activities, like swimming in the lake, exploring the woods, or visit a small waterfall called Sidompak. You also can go up to Mount Sipiso-piso, and do paragliding from the top. Besides swimming, you can also take a boat that can be hired from local fishermen to get around the lake. Cycling from one village to another is also a fun activity to see Karo people in their everyday lives. For you fans of ethnic fabric, you can go to the village of Silalahi, Dairi. The village is located about 11 km from Tongging.
