Peak 2000 was in Siosar, Nagara, Merek, Karo Regency, North Sumatra, Indonesia. This tourist spot was only famous about three years ago. The journey time from Medan to Puncak 2000 Siosar is approximately three hours in normal time, because Karo Regency is a favorite destination in North Sumatra so that trips from Medan to Karo Regency are often constrained by the density of vehicles on the highway.
This Siosar area, according to the data we got when we started chatting with residents at one of the cafes in Siosar, is a place for the relocation of stage 1 refugees from the foot of Mount Sinabung who were affected by the eruption, this area was the first to be built by the Government and has received direct visits from The President of the Republic of Indonesia is Mr. Joko Widodo. Not only housing was built but also houses of worship such as mosques and churches, there were also several schools built here.
Peak 2000 is also known as the Land above the clouds, because it is located at an altitude of about 1,491 meters above sea level. if we see this panorama when the sun has not yet shown its rays, or when dusk approaches, then the area will look like being above the clouds, but if our visit to the Peak 2000 is at noon then what we can enjoy is the view of Mount Sinabung from a distance . The weather is hot and the wind is strong so you are advised to bring a jacket if you visit here.
In recent years Puncak 2000 has experienced very rapid growth, unlike the last 6 years which is only agricultural land cultivated by residents without any tourism value there. This is marked by the start of the construction of cafes with their own uniqueness and characteristics that were built independently by residents who have capital there.
There is no entrance ticket to the peak of 2000, we only need to pay Rp. 2000, but it is different if we visit the cafes around the Peak of 2000. Each cafe has different ticket prices and different photo spots.
Like one of them is Efi's Honey Garden, Efi's Honey Garden is a cafe, here you can see the scenery with many flower gardens and colorfully painted inns so that this place is one of the most instagramable places and is the most hit place in existence. at Puncak 2000, here we can also see bee farming and the process of making honey.
Not only that, at this cafe we can also rent Korean traditional clothes to be used as an addition to your photo collection. With the cost of renting clothes Rp. 35,000. This cafe also provides clean toilets and a prayer room.
When we will visit here we will be charged a parking fee of Rp. 2000 and the entrance ticket to this cafe is Rp. 10,000. And you are free to take pictures with the background of Mount Sinabung and flower gardens that are deliberately planted there, as well as a unique gazebo. In this cafe, you can also enjoy the menus that are presented at prices that I think are expensive when compared to other tourist attractions in Karo Regency.
But it's all our choice and taste. So for a vacation here, prepare more money. Stay healthy for all of us, don't forget to vote and stay tuned for our next post, don't be bored. thank you
