After breakfast at the hotel, it’s time to explore the cultural heart of Lake Toba—Samosir Island. Our first stop is Tomok Village, where you’ll discover the unique heritage of the Batak Toba people. Here, you can see the Tomb of King Sidabutar and explore local craft markets filled with handwoven ulos and traditional Batak carvings.

We continue to the Stone Chairs of King Siallagan in Ambarita—a fascinating megalithic site where ancient Batak rulers once held tribal meetings and court sessions. You’ll hear intriguing stories about Batak history and customs as you walk among the centuries-old relics.

Next, we journey to Pangururan, the capital of Samosir. We’ll visit Holbung Hill, a savannah-covered viewpoint offering sweeping vistas of Lake Toba—ideal for panoramic photos. Just nearby is the mesmerizing Efrata Waterfall, a cascading curtain of water surrounded by lush nature.

Our final stop on the island is the iconic Sibea-Bea Hill, where winding roads offer jaw-dropping views over the lake. After lunch at a local restaurant, we make our way to Tele Tower, where you'll enjoy a bird’s-eye view of Lake Toba’s vast beauty.

Leaving Samosir, we continue by land to the cool highlands of Berastagi, stopping at Tongging Village for a photo opportunity at Sipiso-Piso Waterfall—one of Indonesia’s tallest waterfalls. Arriving in Berastagi, we check in at the hotel, followed by dinner at a local restaurant. The evening is yours to relax or stroll through the peaceful mountain town.

Start your day with breakfast and a refreshing visit to Gundaling Hill, offering panoramic views of the active Mount Sinabung and the picturesque town of Berastagi below. The crisp mountain air and lush surroundings make this a perfect morning escape.

Next, we visit Lumbini Natural Park, home to a stunning golden replica of Myanmar’s Shwedagon Pagoda. It’s a serene space for reflection, photos, and appreciating unique Buddhist architecture in the middle of Sumatra.

We then head to Berastagi Fruit Market, a lively spot where you can try and buy fresh tropical fruits like passion fruit, oranges, and strawberries, grown locally in the fertile volcanic soil. After enjoying lunch at a local restaurant, we make our way back to Medan, passing through scenic Sembahe Valley, known for its rivers and forested hills.

Back in Medan, we begin our city tour by visiting the grand Al-Mashun Grand Mosque and the historical Maimun Palace, both iconic symbols of the Deli Sultanate. For those interested in religious landmarks, we offer optional visits to Graha Maria Annai Velangkanni, Gunung Timur Buddhist Temple, or Sri Mariamman Hindu Temple, depending on your faith and interest.

In the evening, we dine at a local restaurant and—if you’re up for it—make a sweet stop at the legendary Ucok Durian, where you can try the famous Medanese durian (personal expense). Before returning to your hotel, take a short night drive around the city to see Medan’s vibrant night scenes.

After breakfast and check-out, we start the day with a visit to Rumah Noerlen, a charming heritage house where you can see how traditional passionfruit syrup is made—don’t forget to taste this refreshing local specialty!

Our final stop is a Medan souvenir center, where you can pick up beloved local delicacies like Bolu Meranti, Durian Pancake, Bika Ambon, and more to bring home. Enjoy your last shopping spree before we transfer you to Kualanamu International Airport for your flight back home.
