Sumatra
Medan is the capital of North Sumatra and Indonesia's
third largest city. From Medan it is possible to take an overland tour travelling
through huge plantations of Rubber, Palm Oil, Cacao to Parapat, Lake Toba and Samosir
Island.
From Samosir Island, one can either
return to Media via Berastagi and the Leu ser National Park, or proceed across Sumatra into
the Minangkabau Highlands and the charming town of Bukittinggi, before departing from
Padang.
We can also arrange a tour from
Jakarta to the Way Kambas National Park or Bukit Barisan Nature Reserve in southern
Sumatra, the home of the Sumatran tiger.
To complete your journey don't
overlook the fact that Darwin in the Australian Northern Territories is only a short
flight away!
