Maybe you know Samosir Island is in the middle of Lake Toba, but not many people know that on the island of Samosir there are 3 small lakes that are not less beautiful than Lake Toba. Unfortunately, there are still many who don't know about these 3 beautiful lakes.
I went to Lake Toba by bus from Medan with 5 hours, bus ticket price is 50.000 Rupiah or US $ 3.8 ($ 1 = Rp 13.000). There is good news for you who will visit Lake Toba. After the highway was built, Medan to Lake Toba only takes 2 hours. In addition to the bus ride, you can also use a train that takes 4 hours.
Arriving at Lake Toba or precisely in the city of Parapat, I went to the island of Samosir using a boat at a cost of Rp 8,000 ($ 0.6). If using a tourist ship then the cost of Rp 15.000 ($ 1.1). That is the price from Ajibata Harbor to Tomok (the famous shopping spot on Samosir Island).
While in Tomok, I bought some souvenirs typical of Samosir Island. After that, I went swimming and boarded the speedboat and circled Toba's lake as much. The price for renting a speedboat is Rp 500,000 ($ 38).
My friend told me there are 3 small lakes on the island of Samosir is still rarely known by other people. I'm one of those people who don't know about
that. I just know lake Toba is the largest lake in Indonesia and there is Samosir island in the middle. I think this is an interesting thing, 3 lakes on an island located in the middle of Lake Toba. I was immediately excited to go see the 3 lakes.
The first lake we visited was Sidihoni Lake. This lake is located in Pangunguran. The distance from Tomok to Lake Sidihoni is 40 kilometers. It's true what my friend said, this lake is not well known because we only see a few tourists here. We just see the inhabitants of the island of Samosir who swimming here. I am very lucky to be here because this is a beautiful lake. You should also look directly at this unpopular lake.
Once satisfied to see the beauty of Lake Sidihoni, we went to second lake, Lake Natonang. This lake is 20 kilometers from Ambarita. The lake is also very few tourists, as you see this lake is actually very beautiful. If you want to go to Natonang Lake, you must have food from Tomok or Parapat cause there is no restaurant here.
The last lake we visited was Porohan Lake located in Ronggur Nihuta. Unlike the other sandy lakes, this lake has mud. My friend said Lake Porohan is a lake that has a mystical story about the spirits that haunt the place. He said there in the past, there brother and his sisters who incest and drown there, their corpses never found. Residents often ask for rain to Lake Porohan because they believe the lake has the magic power from that brother's and sister's.
That's my story while visiting 3 beautiful lakes that are rarely visited by others. This is very unique, considering Lake Toba is on the island of Sumatra and in the middle of Lake Toba there is Samosir Island and on the island of Samosir there are 3 lakes. I think it's just found here. I hope you like my journey and want go to here.
