Air Terjun Sigura-Gura, Mountain waterfall near Lake Toba, Indonesia
Air Terjun Sigura-Gura is a waterfall in the mountains near Lake Toba that plunges from a high cliff into a natural pool surrounded by thick tropical forest. The water cascades over multiple tiers, creating several viewpoints along the hiking trail.
The name comes from local tribes who named the falls after the distinctive sound created by the falling water. The area has a long connection to the region's indigenous communities who have lived here for generations.
The indigenous communities around Sigura-Gura maintain traditional ceremonies near the waterfall, incorporating it into their spiritual practices.
Wear sturdy hiking shoes since the paths can be wet and slippery, especially after rain. It is best to bring waterproof clothing and plan the hike during daylight hours to safely reach the different viewpoints.
A hydroelectric facility upstream controls the water volume flowing over the falls, causing seasonal variations. Visitors may notice that the power and volume of the cascade shift depending on when the dam releases water.
