Situated in the central part of Mandailing Natal, this district encompasses the area surrounding Mount Sorik Marapi, an active stratovolcano that gives the district its name and dominates the local landscape. The district covers approximately 298 square kilometers of mountainous terrain characterized by volcanic slopes, fertile valleys, and dense tropical forests that support rich biodiversity. With an estimated population of around 32,000 people, Puncak Sorik Marapi maintains a relatively low population density compared to coastal districts, with communities primarily engaged in agriculture, particularly coffee, cinnamon, and vegetable cultivation in the volcanic soils. The district is administratively divided into 12 villages (desa) that are scattered across the mountainous terrain, including settlements such as Huta Lombang, Simpang Banyak, and Simpang Mandepo. As the gateway to Mount Sorik Marapi's hiking trails and geothermal areas, the district attracts some adventure tourism while maintaining its traditional Mandailing cultural heritage.
