Hi friends, how are you? This is my first time to post in the travel community. I want to share an experience when I went on an adventure to waterfalls and rivers. Starting from a hangout, my friend opened Instagram and saw the post of someone we didn't know. The post shows a beautiful girl at the "Tujuh Bidadari" waterfall. Then my friend asked me about this place. I know this place but I've never been there. He wants me to take him there tomorrow morning.
After the morning arrived my friend picked me up by car to go there. The journey from Medan city takes 2.5 hours. Arriving there, we parked the car and paid the ticket fee and rented a Life Jacket. We had to pay 220K IDR or the equivalent of 15 USD. I think the fees charged to us are too high and unfair. The reason is, the motorcyclist only pays 100k IDR or 7 USD. Maybe because we went in the car.
After we paid all the fees to the site manager, we went on a 2-kilometre jungle trek. After walking for 2 kilometres, we arrived at the first point Named “Kolam Abadi”. This is the first start of exploring the river, but before exploring the river, we first played at a point called the Kolam Abadi. Once satisfied we continued our journey to the waterfall of Tujuh Bidadari. On the way to the river, there was an impassable point, so we had to climb a cliff and jump down the river.
On the banks of the river, some rocks emit fresh mineral water. Sometimes I drink it to quench my thirst. At the point of the next river flow, we arrived at the tero-tero waterfall, and in a step, we will arrive at the Tujuh Bidadari waterfall. But, before continuing our journey to the Tujuh Bidadari waterfall, we played and jumped first in the Tero-tero waterfall area. Until finally I felt very tired and was no longer able to walk to the Tujuh Bidadari waterfall. My energy to continue the journey was exhausted. Until finally we cancelled to go to the Tujuh Bidadari waterfall.
If you want to see how our journey down the river, please watch the video on my youtube channel. Thanks and regards.
