Karo

Karo is the lush, volcanic highland just east of the lake – home to fertile fields, active volcanoes and cool mountain air.  The vibrant market town of Berastagi serves as a base, with colorful fruit farms and cool-weather vegetables.  Famous Mt. Sibayak is an easy-trek volcano with a hot-spring crater, and Mt. Sinabung looms nearby as an active peak.  The area’s greatest natural marvel is Sipiso-piso waterfall, a 120 m drop plunging into the Lake Toba caldera – a spectacular scene of roaring water framed by jungle, with the lake just.  Karo also has rich Karo culture (traditional dances and gongs) and welcomes tourists with hearty local foods (like spicy grilled pork and ginger tea).  From flowered orchards to mountain panoramas, Karo Regency captivates visitors with its vibrant landscapes and the genuine kindness of its highland communities.
