Village in Balige





 Lake Toba is accessible by air through Silangit Airport near Balige.
 However, if you are coming from Medan by land, most probably
 you will pass by Parapat, a small cramped lakeside town serving
 as a primary transit point by ferry for visitors going to Samosir
 Island.

 You can find local souvenirs such as ulos, which are locally
 woven clothes, traditional detailed carvings, musical instruments,
 T-shirts and key chains.
















            Parapat -  a small town in the Uluan Peninsula where the first
            Indonesia President Soekarno was sent into exile.
