Hotel Rosse (at berastagi) was recommended by our guide.
Located at a lovely ground which was10 minutes’ drive from Gundaling Hill
and the local fruit market.
A cool place as we were still sort of above certain sea level.
Our room at 2nd level, with a balcony, had a clear view of the awesome mountain top.
Awake and left hotel at 4:30 am, journey about 30 mins, walk to bottom
of the starting point around 20 mins.

*Tips
1. Bring along torch that can hang on head (or just torch light)
2. Wear attire that can keep warm (can be very cold on top)
3. Wear proper hiking shoe (rocky)
4. Carry a small backpack and bring along water (even light snack)
5. Pray for luck not to be cloudy for sunrise
Finally hit the top walking in absolute darkness with only light from our mobile phone.
Look at these two hero wearing improper attire when it's so cold.
We were shivering and hiding away from wind
Shhhhh.... don't disturb, the sun waking up
It's an amazing experience. We just keep rushing before sunrise, climbing along this crater,
heard roaring jet sound to the left, felt pebbly on our feet, and yet we only knew
it's so magnificent when sky light up.
Super!
We will climb to the other top as well
*Don't hold phone (or things) in your hand while climbing. I trying to save my phone
when i trip, and injured my arm.
Could you feel the path we walked along the tip?
Some said to enjoy the journey, but i more enjoyed the ending - Awesome view!
This shot looked like a poster behind.
Getting so near to those "hole" where sound and gas came from
After that we continued our way to Medan
Dropped us off at (below map 1) Airport Railink Service Train station.
And we took lunch nearby Merdeka Walk - Srikandi Cafe.
We didn't know there was a huge mall just stone throw away from station (Map 3)
Forgot what was this. Should be Dragon fruits with guava. Should try!
I really love their Nasi Goreng. The whole trip most places i tried was savory.
Our bill for your reference
Beside was a Liverpool RAM's Cafe. YNWA
We walked very far to get this Spa. It's helped us to digest.
We visited Sun plaza because we didnt know there was a mall near train station
I would still suggest you to stay Thong's Inn Transit Airport Hotel.
Reason: Cheaper and good
Only us. Train journey around 30 mins to airport. Contacted and arranged to
pick us at airport by Thong's Inn hotel.
Breakfast was included.

Thong's Inn Transit Airport Hotel
It a very huge hotel which had renovation work when we were there. They were
building a swim pool as well. Most important they provided transport to hotel.
They had plenty of different types of room which was clean and cozy.
