Hello traveling lovers, in Indonesia today is a national holiday celebrating Chinese New Year.we as a family are planning to travel to Berastagi. Berastagi is one of the tourist destinations in the province of North Sumatra, Indonesia.
Tugu Cabbage, the city icon of Berastagi as a vegetable producer.
Berastagi is located in the Karo district which is a highland in North Sumatra. Berastagi, which has a cool and cool climate, is the best place for the growth and development of various plants.

Tongkoh village is one of the areas in Berastagi which is famous for its flower gardens. If you are a flower lover and are in Berastagi, don't forget to stop by tongkoh to buy gifts in the form of flower plants.
Tongkoh village is one of the flower-producing villages in Berastagi, there are many flower gardens that provide local special flowers (Berastagi) and some sell imported flowers, mostly from Thailand.
If you just want to buy the flowers, don't worry along the way to Berastagi, there are many florists who are ready to take your order.
In addition to flower tours, there is one more place that characterizes Berastagi, namely riding tourism.
Horse tours can be found in the Gundaling hill area. Before entering Gundaling Hill, we can take a horse tour at the fruit tax. As the name suggests, the fruit tax sells a variety of fresh fruit typical of Berastagi and some are imported from the province of West Java. the fare for horse riding with a sado carriage for around the fruit tax / hotel sibayak is 50,000 rupiah (USD.3,5) while the fare for horseback riding is 100,000 rupiah (USD.7.1).
if you want to enjoy the view of Berastagi city and the surrounding area, we can ride a horse on Gundaling hill at a rate of 40,000 rupiah (USD.2.8)
or rent a sado/horse carriage at a rate of 50,000 rupiah (USD.3.5).
Gundaling hills also sell a variety of flowers, especially succulents and cacti.

We can also enjoy the view of the city of Berastagi from the top of Gundaling. at night we will find a very beautiful view of the city of Berastagi from the gundaling hill, because the lights are so lively from the city of Berastagi.
On Gundaling Hill, there are many cafes that provide views of the background of vegetable and fruit fields.
on national holidays, especially in the new year, lodging around Berastagi will be crowded with tourists, there are even tourists who come from outside the province and abroad. we can find simple inns, home stays and five-star hotels in Berastagi (adjust to the contents of our wallets).
in Berastagi there are many colorful trumpet flowers, but be careful the sap can cause headaches, I myself have been a victim of this trumpet flower.
it was getting late so we had to go home from Berastagi so we wouldn't get stuck in traffic jams. But before going home, we bought some typical Berastagi souvenirs, namely citrus fruits that are widely sold along the way back to Medan.
Are you interested in visiting Berastagi which has cool air and beautiful?
