My Trip To Medan, North Sumatra.


Tomorrow at about 8.25am I am flying to Polonia International Airpot, Medan. I will visit Maimoon palace at Jalan Brig.Jend Katamso. This palace was built by the Sultan of Deli in 1888.
After that i will head to Parapat.

Parapat is a small town on the eastern shore of Lake Toba, about 170km from Medan. Will be spending my night at Niagara Hotel. After breakfast I will be starting my journey to Samosir Island which is in the middle of Lake Toba.

Samosir Island is believed to have been created 30,000 years ago during a massive eruption. Most of the attractions are focused on Batak heritage. My next stop will be Brastagi.

Brastagi is a resort in the Kato Highlands, home of the Karo Batak people of northern Sumatera. Brastagi means " rice store", an area of fertile land with plenty of vegetation.

Back to Medan, the town which was founded in 1590. Then flying back to Kuala Lumpur.
