Gunung Sinabung

Gunung Sinabung (28 April 2006)


Gunung Sinabung, at 2450m, is one of the two volcanoes in the vicinity of the town of Berastagi, in the Karo Highlands of North Sumatra. It is regarded as a very challenging volcano to climb, requiring a reasonable amount of fitness and stamina, as it takes 10 hours for a return trip with a local guide.

Nevertheless, you can enjoy very good views of Gunung Sinabung without the tedious effort of climbing it, as it is visible from Berastagi, and especially from Gundaling Hill, which is where I photographed it.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
