WHERE TO VISIT:
If you stay on the North end of the island, there aren't too many long drives. Top visit destinations include Gunung Leuser National Park, Medan and Lake Toba (where are all close in proximity to each other) "Focusing your Sumatra holiday on the north allows you to see a lot in a short space of time, as well as reducing the amount of time you spend bumping along potholed roads on long drives. Packing an inflatable travel cushion is highly recommended." - Rob Perkins -Responsible Travel Blog

LAKE TOBA , is noted to be a  highlight   of many who visit. One of the largest lakes in Indonesia, it has an island that is the size of Singapore!
