Destination: North Sumatra

Rugged Beauty

North Sumatra

North Sumatra is a beautiful and rugged place, hosting the largest volcanic lake in the world, Lake Toba. With cool breezes, pine trees, and a unique ecosystem compared to the surrounding tropical destinations, Toba is a backpacker’s paradise. Families also enjoy the laid back feel with bicycle rentals and short day trips to amazing waterfalls and the island of Samosir.

Venturing out from the arrival city of Medan, your travels may take you to Nias or the Banyak Islands, into orangutan habitats in Bukit Lawang, or into the volcanic mountains of Berastagi. Natural rugged beauty is found in abundance for those who are willing to brave the winding roads and long drives.

Whether you prefer the laid back exploration of Lake Toba and the Batak culture or adventures in the mountains and rugged coastlines of North Sumatra, we can arrange the perfect trip for you. A trip to North Sumatra will be a memory that you cherish for years to come.
