Enjoy the cold air of the berastagi highlands

in Pinmapple2 years ago

I fell tired while the job gets full pressure. Mind keeps bothering with vacation plans to reduce fatigue in the heart and mind. “ where can I melt this without going on a trip that drains the pocket”

When I get home after work, I talk to my mom.
Me : “ I’m so tired, where can we go on vacation mom ?, tomorrow is my offday.”
Mom : “ how about we go to berastagi ? “
Me : “ let’s go, looks like the cold air berastagi can calm me down “



That night around 09:00 PM, we started leaving from home to berastagi.
I am really excited about this trip. With my beloved family enjoy a short vacation, leave the hustle and bustel of the city. Along the way singing together and laughing cheerfully.

3 hour after going up and down the hill surrounded by ravines that trigger adrenaline, finally we arrived at pariban hot spring when the time showed 01:00 AM. Unfortunately that day was weekend, and the homestay in that place is full. For that we are looking for homestay at another place, luckily we can get the homestay which is not far from pariban. After get the homestay we just rest. The clod air hugs me tight to the bones. Even a thick blanket does not seem to be able to block the clod air there.



The alarm rings at 06:00 AM. Dew and fresh air greeeting my morning. I see flowers blooming right in front of my door, it’s really beautiful. It’s beautiful, but not to enjoy the smell. The flower is called “marigold”. Smells realy bad, so that even insects are recluctant to perch on the flower.

On the right side, I see a view Of mountain that emits smoke, that’s because from the top of the mountain there is a hot spring that flows down. Name is sulfur. Make the scene even sweet.

Don’t want to longer, we hurried our way to the pariban hot spring because the place is not far from our homestay.
Welcome to pariban hot spring 😍

To enter the pariban area we have to pay IDR 20.000 for one person. Once inside the hot water vapor is clearly visible covering the pool. I slowly put this body into the hot water pool. Shut up and enjoy the body covered in hot water make my body feel light and the mind feel fresh.

After being satisfied in touch with hot water, we go to the back side of pool, and it turned out to be a soothing sight. Clearly visible mountain covered in clouds.

After that we returned to the homestay to pack and change clothes.



Continuing the journey to the orange groves takes about 2 hours.
Arrived at the location, looks like a very wide expanse of orange groves. I immediately took the fruit box and go pick oranges. Wow it’s so much fun.

I picked oranges that look very fresh straight from the tree while tasting the sweetness of each very fresh and sweet orange. Yummy

Damd, because there are so many oranges makes me confused which on to pick.


Okey next. After being satisfied eating oranges, we continue our journey to sipisopiso waterfall. It doesn’t take long and a lot of drama we arrived at the location after 20 minutes of driving. Looks charming waterfall from a distance. I look at the waterfall and make me drown in the sound of the roar of the waterfall.

Unfortunately we didn’t have time to go down to the bottom to see the beautiful waterfall. Because it requires extra energy to go down there. There are approximately 500 stairs that we have to go through. Huft just imagining it makes my legs are weak 😂. So we only become your audience from a distance, okeyy.
On the opposite side I was surprised by the stunning view. Oh my God, your creation is so beautiful. There is blue lake surrounded by green hills. Very pleasing to the eye.

After being satisfied pampering the eyes with an extraordinary view, we go home. Wait, before going home we stopped to eat at a restaurant that is famous in berastagi. That is “Warung wajik dan pecal BAHAGIA”. Recommended to try.
