Lau Sidebuk-Debuk Hot Springs
Pemandian Air Panas Lau Sidebuk-Debuk
A sulphur hot spring area at the foot of Mount Sibayak, with more than ten open-air pools backed by a steaming volcano, the classic pairing of a mountain hike and a soak.
The Sidebuk-debuk hot springs lie on the southern slope of Mount Sibayak, about 7 km north of Berastagi. Along the road, more than ten family-run hot spring facilities offer open-air pools in different temperatures, including large communal pools, small pools and private pools. The water has a strong sulphur smell and looks milky white or pale green. As you soak, you can see the steaming vents on the mountain above. Entry usually costs only a few tens of thousands of rupiah, with prices varying from place to place. Many are open at night. The most common plan is to climb Mount Sibayak before sunrise, descend the stone steps directly to the hot springs for a soak, and then return to town. Remove silver jewellery before bathing, and rinse off afterwards.
