Day 3 Study Focus: Plantation Conversions / Montane Forest Flora


We're up early for breakfast before setting off by bus to Berastagi

To break up the long drive, we will visit a government run crocodile breeding center in Medan where over 2,500 of these reptiles - some huge and over 30-years old - completely fill a lake


We will stop again along the way for a picnic lunch and a chance to learn about forest conversions to oil palm and rubber plantations. As we climb higher towards Berastagi, we will learn about montane forests, and possibly view Long-tail macaques, Pig-tail macaques, and Wreathed hornbills

Arriving on the slopes of beautiful Mount Sibayak, we will check in to our lodge and then catch a spectacular sunset silhouetted by Siinagung Volcano (2452 m) atop Gundaling Hill. Here we can also enjoy horse and buggy rides around the park before dinner



Overnight: Sibayak Multinational Guest House
