Hi, my name is Harry Henry, I'm an interior designer and I love travelling so much. There is so much more to discover beyond the most popular place in the country-Bali. Here I would like to introduce some of the top tourism destinations around my hometown, Medan, North Sumatra: - 3D2N orangutan jungle trekking in Bukit Lawang - 2D1N elephants feeding and cleaning in Tangkahan - Berastagi - Lake Toba - Clear Blue river trekking in Pelaruga For the one who is looking for a less touristic place to travel in Indonesia, I really recommend trying to explore the west part of Indonesia, especially in North Sumatra. There are so many activities to do for nature lovers, such as jungle trekking to see orangutans and the other exotic animals, elephants feeding and cleaning on the jungle riversides, clear blue river trekking, and explore lots of popular tourism attractions around the Lake Toba. The main problem for tourists to travel around in these places is the transportation, it's not easy to ride the public bus or transport since not all people can speak English here. That's why I will drive a car for our whole trip, so it will be more convenient and flexible to explore around these places. What is included in this trip? - Accommodations (some include meals) - Transportation - Boat Trip Tour in Lake Toba - Entry ticket fee for all activities - Jungle trekking guides fee I hope you join me on this trip and let's explore together!

Air Terjun Sipiso Piso

Tag 5
The Sipiso Piso Waterfall is one of the nicest falls in Sumatra, and also one of the tallest waterfalls in Indonesia. It’s a 120 meter (400 foot) giant that flows into the famous Lake Toba in North Sumatra, surrounded by farms and highland scenery. The entrance and parking area for the waterfall sits on a big hill above it, so as soon as you arrive you’re treated to a panoramic view of both the waterfall and Lake Toba in the distance — no hiking needed! The hike down to the bottom of the falls is also worthwhile if you have time. It takes about 30-40 minutes each way, and you can get some better pictures at the bottom. The path is pretty worn, but still mostly paved. There are a bunch of scenic viewpoints along the way, but the most amazing thing is to see the waterfall up close. You can walk directly to the edge of the falls, where there’s a huge amount of wind and spray! After visiting Sipiso piso waterfall, we will be heading and stay in Taman Simalem Resort, which have one of the best views of Lake Toba, there will be so many activities that we can do on this resort, such as enjoying a breathtaking sun rise view of the Lake Toba, trekking to waterfalls, and much more!

Tag 10
In this area, there are several interesting spots for you, such as : - Eternal Pond - Teroh Teroh Waterfall - Tongkat Waterfall This is a local, hidden place that located in Langkat, North Sumatera, about 2 hours ride from Medan. Highly recommend this area to those who loves such Adreline rush. From raw jungle trekking to going down on slippery path and rocky steps before we get to the stunning looking waterfall with fallen trees and beautiful cold clear blue water. You have to fight through currents and steps to get to the other parts of the stream, getting upclose and personal with nature, admiring its beauty and at the same time. It will be around 2-3 hours journey from starting to finish point. I guarantee that you won't forget this place ever.
