Hidden Gems
by Josh Lew on August 28, 2007
Samosir is inseparable from Lake Toba. The island, with an area of 627 square kilometers, lies in the middle of a stunning tourist location, Lake Toba, surrounded by lovely green valleys. Exploring the island brings the visitor into contact with a unique, unspoiled culture, with traditional houses, tombs, and the activities of the local people, all painted in the blue of Lake Toba's waters and the green of the surrounding valleys.
Think Toba sounds a little too good? In general, Sumatra lacks the infrastructure of Indonesia's other main island, Java, so getting around can be an adventure (an ulcer inducing adventure). Still, if a relatively unspoiled and natural palce is what you are looking for, Toba and Samosir Island are worth a look.
