Will be flying to Medan next month and spend almost a month in Sumatera before flying back to Malaysia.
I have the bike rental organized ... a Yamaha NMAX 155 scooter.
I have my routes planned as follows.
Medan - Berastagi 2 nights
Berastagi - Ketambe 2 nights
Ketambe - Takengon 2 nights
Takengon - Sigli 1 night
Sigli - Banda Aceh 1 night
Banda Aceh - Melauboh 2 nights
Melauboh - Tapak Tuan 1 night
Tapak Tuan - Sidikalang 1 night
Sidikalang - Tuktuk Siadong, Samosir - 3 to 4 nights
I still have about 5 days after Tuktuk Samosir and don't want to go to Bukittinggi,Padang in West Sumatera as it's a long ride from Lake Toba and then rush back to Medan.
I would prefer to do West Sumatera for another trip.
So, where do I go in North Sumatera for another few days after Tuktuk Siadong,Samosir?
Thought of heading towards the south a bit and then loop back to Medan.
Any recommendations?
Thanks
