Car Rental to the Two-Colour Waterfall in Sibolangit
The Two-Colour Waterfall in Sibolangit takes a few hours of trekking. Arrange a car pick-up at the trailhead so you save your energy for the hike.
The Two-Colour Waterfall (Air Terjun Dua Warna) in Sibolangit, Deli Serdang, is known for its pool that looks bluish-white and its sulphur-rich water. It is fairly close to Medan, but the falls themselves can only be reached by trekking through the forest.
What the trip looks like
- Medan to the trailhead: around 1.5–2 hours by car along the Medan–Berastagi road.
- Trekking: usually several hours there and back, on paths that are slippery after rain.
Because the trek is tiring, many groups choose a car with a driver so they can rest straight after the hike instead of driving home.
Group preparation
- Register and use a local guide as required by the area management.
- Wear shoes with grippy soles, not sandals.
- Bring a change of clothes and plastic bags for wet clothing.
- Keep valuables in the locked car, not in your trekking bag.
Vehicle choice
For 4–6 people, an Avanza or Xpander is enough. Larger hiking groups can use a Hiace to stay in one vehicle.
When not to go
Avoid going in heavy rain season. The trail becomes very slippery and the water level can rise suddenly. Follow the management's instructions if the trail is temporarily closed.
