Parapat - Lake Toba Experience

"Scenic Lake Toba"

The entire lake can be viewed from Hotel Niagara. This is the scene that greets you when you step out onto the hotel balcony. You must take one of the better rooms for this view.

"Hotel Niagara"

The hotel is quite pricey due to its prime location - from the higher rooms you can view the entire lake. Service is acceptable for a 4-star hotel in a 3rd world country. The food though, is quite bad.

HORAS PARAPAT

"Where is Parapat?"

Parapat is a lakeside town in North Sumatra. It is beside Lake Toba and the jump off point for the ferry to Tomok in Samosir Island in the middle of Lake Toba.

We paid an entrance of IDR 5000 (for the vehicle?) upon entering the Parapat lake area (?).

You can ride the ferry and even bring your car across from this town.
