This spectacular lake offers breathtaking views and a peaceful escape surrounded by stunning natural beauty.
The lake’s serene surroundings provide the perfect setting for relaxation and exploration. If you’re interested in local culture, the Karo Highlands surrounding the lake offer an incredible opportunity to engage with the Batak people, known for their unique traditions and vibrant culture.

Bukit Lawang is one of the most accessible places to spot orangutans, thanks to an orangutan conservation programme that has been operating on the eastern edge of the park since the 1970s. The Gunung Leuser National Park is one of the final orangutan strongholds, with more than 5,000 thought to be living in the wild. You should be arriving sometime in the early afternoon and check in to your hotel. You will have time to go out for Nature walk around in the forest or your local guide/ranger will orrange hike to nearby Bat Caves, where you explore an amazing geological formations and lots of bats roosting inside the cave is just fascinating to watch.

Over the three days, our professional team will healp you exploring the wilderness of Sumatra’s mountainous National Park. This is one of the largest national parks in the
world and you spend time with your guide & park ranger and have an opportunity to explore the trails, searching for orangutans and other wildlife. You have plenty of opportunities to experience the incredible biodiversity of this spectacular ancient rainforest. Your guide will take the easier trails to explore accessible tracts of the rainforest, with a particular focus on searching for the park’s eight species of primate and there is a good chance of seeing Thomas’s leaf monkeys and long-tailed macaques plus, hopefully, one of the endearing Sumatran orangutans who inhabit the forest. Other mammals include Sumatran elephants and the elusive Sumatran tiger and rhinoceros, although the last is unfortunately facing imminent extinction. We are unlikely to encounter these shy animals. This excursion lasts approximately four to six hours, including time spent for lunch, and can be demanding at times given the steep, muddy terrain and hot and humid climate. Reasonable fitness is required and, therefore,completely optional. For anyone who chooses not to undertake the longer jungle hike,the rest of the day is at leisure to relax at the lodge.
Meals: Breakfast|Lunch|Dinner
Accommodation: Eco Lodge Bukit Lawan OR Jungle Inn Bukit Lawan
Enjoy your breakfast and off the scenic road to Berastagi for overnight stay. Berastagi a welcoming township nestled in the cooler Karo Highlands at the altitude of 1300m with its refreshing weather and magnificent mountain scenery surrounded by the two volcanoes Sinabung (2417 m) and Sibayak (2172 m). Before check in to your hotel visit local Fruit Market and stroll around the town which is swarming with activity and scenes from traditional Karo life and also enjoy the views of two active volcanoes,Sinabung and Sibayak.
During the Dutch colonial period, Berastagi served as a retreat for the Dutch due to its cooler climate. The town’s strategic location amidst lush greenery made it a favored destination for the Dutch officials and planters seeking respite from the tropical heat of other regions.
Meals: Breakfast|Lunch|Dinner
Accommodation: Kalang Ulu OR Grand Mutiara Hotel
Mount Sibayak is simply spectacular. Rise early to begin your impressive short trek from the base to the Sibayak volcano for sunrise view. It takes about 1.5 to 2 hours from the nearest road and can therefore be explored by anyone in reasonably good shape.It’s bit challenging going up very early when it’s still dark to reach the summit at sunrise.But the views are marvellous & rewaring.With over 120 active volcanoes fuming around Indonesia, Gunung Sibayak at 2,212 metres in Northern Sumatra is one of Indonesia’s best accessible mountains and amongst the top volcanoes in terms of effort to enjoyment ratio. Mt. Sibayak provides excellent views of Berastagi and the surrounding countryside, including the neighbouring Mt. Sinabung, which is frequently erupting since 2010 after lying dormant for 400 years. Although Mt. Sibayak has been quiet for the last century, new steam vents
and seismic activity indicate that the volcano is merely only taking a break. Geothermal activity is high on and around the volcano and offers a very unique experience for visitors with many fumaroles near the crater lake, the sound they make as jets of hot gas and steam shoot out is tremendously eerie and can get as loud as a starting jet plane engine. Take your time to let this bizarre moonscape scenery sink in before you begin
your moderate descend back to the car and drive back to your hotel for late Breakfast.
After breakfast leave for Samosir. On the way to Lake Toba you will visit a small village of Dokan (Desa Dokan) 25km south of Berastagi is arguably the best of the Karo villages
as it has five well preserved and occupied traditional houses and ancient graveyard.
The Batak are known for their distinctive traditional communal houses; large stilted buildings with high, steeply pitched roofs built from wood and bamboo held together
with fibre from the ijuk palm, which is also used a roof thatching. Despite being constructed of entirely natural materials, without nails, pegs or spikes, some houses
have been continually occupied for between 200-300 years, preserved by smoke and heat from indoor fires which keeps the wood and roof thatching dry. The peak roofs are usually adorned with a carved bulls head, the official Karo symbol of strength.
The magnificent Sipisopiso waterfall at the north end of the lake near Tongging is a highlight and equally well worth the stop. One of the highest waterfalls in Indonesia, the sight of the 120m high cascade plunging into a gaping canyon in the otherwise flat Karo plateau is dramatic, especially when you realise that there’s no river. The waterfall is actually fed from an underground river flowing through the rim of Lake Toba. The best view of Sipisopiso is from near the car park but if you can’t resist the urge to get closer to hear the roar of the water and feel the spray on your face, there’s a well formed trail
(with hundreds of stairs) that will take you right down to the edge of the canyon.Continue the scenic drive until you arrive at the harbor (Tigaras or parapat) from where you cross the lake by ferry to Samosir Island: Your vehicle & the driver will also ferry across. Arrive on the harbor on the island of Samosir, you continue driving to your hotel for overnight.
Meals: Breakfast|Dinner
Accommodation: Tabo Cottages OR Toledo Inn
Today you will explore the beauty and cultural aspects of Batak by visiting Ambarita village to see the Stone Chairs and court yard of Siallagan’s clan and Simanindo village to see the museum of the Batak’s Tribe.
The Batak Museum at Simanindo documenting the history and culture of Toba’s traditional inhabitants is an excellent place to start before heading south to Ambarita 300-year-old Stome Chairs, where important matters were discussed among village elders & rulers.
In times past, the ancient stone chairs for which the village is famous, were occupied by a council of village rulers who met to decide on important tribal matters such as the fate
of a captured enemy. If death was the verdict, the victim was brought to the dining table in the middle of the chairs, beheaded, dissected and cooked, often with a little buffalo
meat. The councillors would feast on the hapless victims flesh, washed down with his blood. Pretty gruesome stuff!
If time permits drive up to Pusuk Buhit at 1,982 m, the highest place to views Lake Toba and local villages in the Sianjur Mula Mula valley below. You can also visit Batak’s traditional house in the valley villages.
Meals: Breakfast|Dinner

This morning you start by exploring the island of Rinca and will most likely encounter your first Komodo dragons. Rinca is one of the islands that houses Komodo dragons but is also home to wild pigs, buffalos and birds. Going ashore, you go on a trek accompanied by a local island ranger to look for Komodo dragons in their natural environment. You can enjoy some short walks around the island to marvel at these impressive reptiles up close. After spending the morning exploring the island, you set sail for Karang Makassar stopping at Manta Point, so-named as giant manta rays, some with a wingspan of 4m, are regularly seen here. This is a reliable feeding ground for manta rays and one of the best snorkelling locations in the Komodo National Park. You may also stop at another snorkelling site with an excellent coral reef with good chances of seeing parrotfish,clownfish and, with a bit of luck, various other sea creatures including sea turtles.
Before end of the day head to Kalong Island – or commonly known as Koaba Island by the locals, meaning big bats or flying foxes – is a beautiful island tucked away from the
northern part of Rinca Island. The island is covered in mangrove plantations, hosting thousands of flying foxes that live in the trees during the daytime to protect them from
the heat of sun.
The exotic attraction of these bats flying over the island happens at sunset time. Around dusk time, thousands of bats emerge from the trees, coming out from their hiding place
to find food, flying energetically and covering the sky, performing one the most stunning natural displays in the park. You will be able to admire this impressive spectacle for
nearly 30 minutes, when wave after wave of bats pass over the anchored boats.
Meals : Breakfast – Lunch – Dinner
Accommodation : Elyssia Phinisi or Similar(Private Chartered Boat)
