Quick answer
Our current prices are IDR 400.000 per person from Berastagi for groups of two or more, IDR 700.000 for a solo Berastagi traveler, or IDR 1.950.000 per private car from Medan for up to three travelers.
Details
A meaningful price comparison should account for what is actually included. A lower headline number may exclude the parts travelers care about most, such as hotel pickup, guide support, hot springs access, or extra sightseeing.
For two travelers, the Berastagi option totals IDR 800.000. The Medan option remains IDR 1.950.000 for one to three travelers because it is priced per private car and includes the longer city transfer.
Before comparing packages, it helps to understand the route structure in the Mount Sibayak hiking guide so the price context makes sense.

FAQ
Why does the Medan option usually cost more?
The Medan package is IDR 1.950.000 per private car for up to three travelers because it includes the longer city transfer and a full-day trip structure.
Is Berastagi usually the cheaper option?
Yes. The Berastagi hike is IDR 400.000 per person for bookings of two or more, or IDR 700.000 for a solo traveler, because the transfer to the trailhead is much shorter.
What should I compare besides price?
Compare pickup location, guide support, hot springs access, extra stops, and total trip duration. Those factors have more practical impact than the headline number alone.
