Two less accessable Karo villages near Berestagi, both pretty run-down in terms of architecture
Barusjahe is located SW of Berestagi, and can be reached by car. Nearby Desa Serdang suffers from a bridge collapse, and can thus only be reached walking. One is soon discovered by the village children, who find a bule – a foreigner – mightily interesting, worthy of following everywhere, but once they get bored, the village is in fact a wonderful place to wander around: friendly and hospitable people, as almost everywhere in Indonesia. A selection of photos.

I Thanks for these picture, i born and grew in this village. When this photos taken?
Hi Salmen, glad you like the pictures. I was there in 2005 or 2006, whilst living in Banda Aceh. Things may have changed quite significantly, now, of course. Regards, Bruno
