Indonesia - Medan

Check Fares

Mention Sumatra to someone far afield, and they will think of jungles, wild tigers and colonial history. For Asian travellers, Medan is more synonymous with serene Lake Toba and with kuay lapis, the delicious layer cake that is exported from here. Whether or not you crave this sweet treat, Medan offers you a memorable visit to a timeless spot.

Fast Facts

Site of an historic battlefield, Medan offers volcanoes, cascading falls, a pre-historic lake, and large orang utans swinging through the jungles. Medan's centerpiece, Lake Toba, was formed following a massive eruption 75,000 years ago. The island of Samosir, in the lake’s centre, is the original home of the gruff but kind-hearted Toba Bataks, an indigenous tribe. Visit traditional Batak Toba houses and watch the people perform local dances – Bataks are famed for their energetic singing.
