Pulau Samosir Sumatra Indonesia Travel
If you want to trek, swim, explore traditional Batak villages, soak in hot springs, party or just chill with some cool local people, Pulau Samosir is your Eden. Your chickenbus beaten body will begin to unwind on the slow 8km ferry cruise over to this volcanic isle (it’s actually connected to the mainland by a narrow isthmus, but why quibble?) 900m above sea level. In the late ’90s, Tuk Tuk, the island’s resort town, rocked with full-moon ravers, but Thailand stole their thunder, and now empty hotels and quiet streets are the norm. Which means low prices, high value and tranquillity.
