Like endless, waterfall tours in Langkat continue to be found, continue to attract attention, making the community of nature lovers or explorers of nature tourism continues to arrive.
MTMA Sumut which amounted to 30 people was not left behind. Leave early morning at 08.00, until the location at 11.00.
Although the beauty of Saringgana Waterfall is being a byword, do not think this waterfall is easy to reach. To achieve it requires a hard struggle because it must pass through many obstacles, especially in the damaged road to the location.
Muddy fields are often a barrier if you come in the rainy season. Take up to 3 hours from Medan City, the longest time spent through muddy and steep rock roads to Sulkam Village, which if not adept can spend 1 hour.
Starting from Maryke area the streets are not asphalted, rocky soil, road up and down so that when it rains the road traversed it could be more extreme, especially for motorcyclists.
There, you also have to cross the stream of a small rocky river. Although not long or about 5 meters, crossing the water flow should be slow especially when it rains. But here lies the excitement of the adventure making the achievement to the Water of Saringgana Waterfall very meaningful.
Arriving at the parking, you will immediately be relieved. Because the location of the waterfall not far from the parking or just about 50 meters through the beautiful jungle forest.
There is no retribution fee to enter this tour, it's just a parking fee of Rp 5 thousand for motorcycles. For cars can not get to this location, or have to park long before the village of Sulkam and on foot.
The effects of rain are usually trekking becomes muddy and muddy, making it more vigilant not to slip into the abyss.
It did not take long to walk, the sound of the waterfall was thundering. The water debit that falls is very strong, so the water blowing has been heard from 20 meters before reaching the location.
Hendra Gunawan, MTMA member, visitors said, tired paid off when looking at the beauty of cliffs and bathing under the waterfall.
"The water is cold and not too deep, so it can soak and jump, though not good at swimming," he added.
