North Sumatera
 

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?
:scooter::scooter:
Thought of heading towards the south a bit and then loop back to Medan.

Any recommendations?

Thanks

I spent a couple of days in Bukit Lawang and did amongst other some orangutan trekking. Thought Bukit Lawang was a cool place to hang out for a couple of days…
