This is a place to proof that wild elephants, birds, apes can live wild and freely in a palm oil plantation. Enough is biased and baseless judgement on how bad palm oil plantation impact on wild life! You should see how elephants enjoy consuming palm oil leaves! It is a hidden gem with beautiful water fall and stunning lake. If you are lucky you can spot native rare birds. Nature lovers and wild life promoters should come and see by her/his own eyes how beautiful and harmonious is the live of these elephants family in Barumun Nagari! The guide, the driver and even the owner are absolutely amazing! One more thing, advance reservations is a must because this place is a sanctuary so they must limit number of visitors! This place is NOT touristy and definitely NOT for for big group of tourist who only carE for selfies! Only those who love nature and wild life would be rewarded by the beauty of this place!

Brastagi is a typical hill station like many others in India and Asia. There are Strawberry farms, fruit market and a Buddhist temple. Highlight of visit was to see Sipiso-Piso waterfall. This is magnificent. One can go right down to bottom and behind the fall by stairs. Unfortunately, it was drizzling then, so the stairs were slippery and not advisable.
