SUMATRA – Wild Nature & Tribal Spirit

SUMATRA – Wild Nature & Tribal Spirit

Sumatra, the world’s sixth-largest island, is a natural wonder of dramatic landscapes and rare wildlife. Towering volcanoes rise above dense rainforests, home to elephants, tigers, and orangutans. In North Sumatra, the vast Lake Toba rests within an ancient supervolcano, its serene waters surrounded by Batak villages and lush hills. Bukit Lawang offers intimate encounters with orangutans in their natural habitat, while the Mentawai Islands preserve tribal traditions that have endured for centuries. Adventure seekers can trek through Kerinci Seblat National Park, surf world-class waves on Siberut or Nias, and relax in the highlands of Berastagi. Sumatra’s people are as diverse as its scenery, with dozens of ethnic groups maintaining unique languages and rituals. Visiting here is more than sightseeing — it’s a journey into ancient cultures and untamed landscapes.
