Towering high above the Pasemah Plateau, Pagaralam City, Mount Dempo is the highest roof in the province of South Sumatra. This volcano offers the charm of a very beautiful natural landscape from the foot to the peak.
Hello Traveler friends at ZOYALINK! Mount Dempo has a height of 3,173 meters above sea level. Before setting foot on the forest climbing route, you will be greeted by the expanse of the Pagaralam tea plantation which stretches out like a green carpet.
The most amazing attraction of Mount Dempo is at its peak, namely the presence of an active crater lake. Uniquely, the color of the water in the Dempo crater often changes, from bright turquoise green, clear blue, to sometimes turning dark gray depending on volcanic activity.
The camping area known as Pelataran Dempo provides a spacious place to rest before carrying out the *summit attack*. From this point, climbers can enjoy star-studded nights and the cool air typical of the high mountains of Sumatra.
One thing that characterizes the Mount Dempo climbing route is the slope of the track which is quite steep from the start when you enter the forest area. Climb after climb without stopping requires tree roots as a natural support throughout the steps.
Considering that the weather conditions at the top of Dempo often change rapidly and the winds are strong, climbers must bring adequate cold protection equipment. Maintaining cleanliness and respecting local rules are also important points during your activities here.
Mount Dempo not only offers mesmerizing views, but also gives the satisfaction of conquering one of the highest peaks in Bukit Barisan. Its natural beauty makes anyone long to return.
