Mount Sinabung (Gunung Sinabung) is North Sumatra's 4th most active volcano. The long eruption of Mount Sinabung is similar to that of Mount Unzen in Japan, which erupted for five years after lying dormant for 400 years.
Due to frequent eruptions, there is only one mountaineering route to get to Mount Sinabung, the Lau Kawar route. On this route, you will pass Lau Kawar Lake, which is on the north side of the mountain.
