The beauty of Lake Toba discussed will never run out of people. Viewed from any angle - both from Parapat, Tongging, and from Samosir Island - the lake is equally beautiful. This time I will give you the Lake Toba from within, from the island.
From Medan to Lake Toba
The most common route taken is through the tourist town of Parapat, which is located on the edge of Lake Toba. From Medan, the city can be reached in five hours by road, passing through the town Pematangsiantar.
When you want to use public transportation, you can take a bus or L-300 in Terminal Amplas Medan. My advice, choose a larger bus because a long journey and quite winding.
