Moramo Waterfall

Moramo waterfall, is located about 75km from downtown Kendall. With a rental car, this trip takes about 2 hours. It's known, road axis in this area is still much improved, and that has not been repaired are in pretty bad condition. Upon entering the village Sumbersari, our amazement at the sight of many houses of worship of all kinds of religions. The mosque is adjacent to the church and we see consecutive temples and monasteries. Intrigued, and also a bit lost, we stopped at one shop to ask directions. More surprised again, when the mother answered with a porous Javanese accent. It turned out that indeed this is one Sumbersari Village of transmigration destination. At first look how retarded the economy of this village. Until we passed a stretch of yellow rice with rice ready for harvest. And also much cattle seen along the road. Appropriate that many here who transmigrated from Java and Bali. Considering they are already quite advanced in irrigation and farming techniques. Interestingly again, we see many protested, the culture where the Hindu-Balinese sajen, founded in the corners sawah.Dan we finally arrived at Moramo. The parking lot is so broad that looks deserted without visitors. Stalls also looks closed and locked. In fact we came in the day Saturday, October 30, 2010. Usually, local residents flood the tourist spots like this. Finally ventured down the paths that moving into the forest. A cloudy afternoon, and sometimes damaged bridge is not the ideal conditions to surf in. From such dense forest. We trace the river continues to flow until it looks too Waterfall Moramo. Perhaps there are about 10 level waterfall. Large discharge of water and a decent height makes this waterfall looks beautiful. Dozens of shots we're taking here. Unfortunately we did not get to swim in one of the inlet water is clear green. When we returned to the parking lot, there is a Javanese accent mother who welcomed us and gave a ticket levy. Too cheap it feels when you see we only have to pay Rp 11,000 for 3 people and 1 car. And oddly enough not many people have come though with the cheap price. Hopefully with improved roads, this place could turn into major attraction. And if it's seen from his picture, Waterfall Moramo deserves to be re-entered the map "must visit".

Here are 3 objects that can be enjoyed Gitgit waterfall, cave and waterfall Stone Mekalongan. At the waterfall in the language Balinya Gitgit which means twin mouth of the cave is located, not too high but it is quite heavy, probably because 2 is said to twin waterfalls side by side, the middle rope attached keliatannya used to play swing like Tarzan. Next we headed out a little bit rock cave but did not meet with the referred to, up to first find a waterfall that seems to overflow of river Mekalongan of Gitgit waterfalls, waterfalls and rapids are much higher than the gap that may exist dilhat hit a stone. From here the river that flows in the Buleleng embryo Singosari river.

If friends all want to go see the lake Toba, it is advisable to drop into town Parapat. From there can see the beautiful lake toba clearer. Parapat also one tourist city in northern Sumatra. So do not worry for business accommodation, hospitality, and the like. :) Hopefully there is available.

The majority ethnic population in the vicinity of Lake Toba is a hobo. In general, people over there livelihood as farmers, traders, and fishermen.
