Are you already in Padang (West Sumatra) and craving more adventure and natural beauty to finish your trip? End your journey with an unforgettable week in North Sumatra!
This spectacular region of Indonesia offers a rare opportunity to see wild orangutans in their natural habitat, hike active volcanoes, and discover the stunning beauty of Lake Toba. From dense jungle to scenic islands, this week is packed with experiences that will bring you closer to the incredible nature and culture of Sumatra. It’s the perfect add-on for travellers seeking both adventure and meaningful exploration.
Fly from Padang to Medan and head straight to Bukit Lawang, a charming village on the edge of the jungle (approx. 5-hour drive). Check in to your hotel and relax after the journey.
After breakfast, head into the rainforest for an unforgettable trek to spot wild orangutans in their natural habitat. You'll spend the night camping deep in the jungle, falling asleep under the stars.
Start your morning with a fun river tubing adventure, drifting downstream back to your guesthouse. In the afternoon, visit a dramatic bat cave and enjoy a leisurely walk through the village.
Travel to the cool highland town of Berastagi, with a stop along the way at a deserted village evacuated after a volcanic eruption. Overnight in a comfortable hotel.
Rise early to climb Mount Sibayak, a striking volcano with panoramic views. The hike takes around three hours. After descending, continue your journey to magnificent Lake Toba and stay the night on Samosir Island.
Spend the day discovering Samosir, known for its unique Batak culture and spectacular views across Lake Toba. Enjoy another peaceful night on the island.
Travel back to Medan to catch your flight, depending on your travel schedule.
