SUMATRA - how to travel Indonesia? (Mentawai Islands, Bukit Lawang, Medan etc.)
How to travel Indonesia? Indonesia has 17.508 islands you could possibly visit: Bali, Java, Kalimantan, Lombok, Komodo or Sumatra.
We travelled Sumatra and had a spectacular time here.
Let's start with some quick facts about Sumatra. First of all, Sumatra is a big island. Whatever you plan to cover on your trip, you will realize fast that it is hard to see all the highlights of Sumatra. We had to skip a lot. It's not only that the island itself is so big, it is also hard to get around. Compared to other countries in Southeast Asia we think that Indonesia is one of the countries which makes it a little bit harder to get around. There are not many tourist busses like in Thailand or Cambodia (and no open bus tickets like in Vietnam). This is also nice as you will definitely meet and travel with locals. On the other hand it was really hard sometimes to find the right bus terminal and not to end up being scammed. Another quick fact about Sumatra: this island was quite touristy for a while, like 20 years ago, but it is not anymore. There are some main spots like Lake Toba or Bukit Lawang for example. But at places like Bukittinggi, Harau Valley, Lake Maninjau you can be pretty much alone - not seeing (m)any other tourists.
As I said it is hard to cover all the main spots of Sumatra. Here is a list of the places we went to:
1. Medan: huge city, 2 Million people are living here, we tried to leave as quick as possible.
2. Bukit Lawang: The main spot to go. Here you can hike through the jungle spotting wild Orangutans and other species.
3. Bukittinggi: nice small town - not many tourists.
4. Lake Maninjau: a place to relax, swim in the lake, eat some fresh fish or try other Indonesian food.
5. Harau Valley: rock formations, waterfalls and rice fields. Here you can wake up in your guesthouse next to a huge rock, having beakfast on the balcony.
6. Padang: bigger, smelly city, nice hotels, restaurants and malls.
7. Mentawai Islands: beautiful islands, perfect for snorkeling and surfing, really hard to get here on you own, jungle trekking to meet the tribe people.

The WILDEST I've ever been - SUMATRA JUNGLE TREK DAY 3
And thus ends the most incredible experience trekking through the Sumatran Jungle looking for orangutans. We managed to see a total of 13 orangutans plus some monkeys. I’d highly recommend using Heri Kibo’s company! He took care of my entire itinerary and trekked the whole jungle along with us!

Indonesian River Paradise in Remote Village. ????????
I rented a bike from my Bukit Lawang hotel and set off for a wee adventure. First I rode to the nearest town, Bohorok, which is also where the nearest ATM machine is. As all the businesses in Bukit Lawang are cash-only it's necessary to be holding some paper.
I then rode to a small rural village called Batu Katak. It's a very non touristic place and I didn't see any white people on the way there or back, but did find a Czech family who were staying there to do volunteer work to protect the jungle. Respect!
Batu Katak is right on the river, the same as Bukit Lawang, but with far less people around I didn't have to share my swim with anyone else.
The bike, I rented from a man working at my hotel. He wanted 200,000 Rupiahs, but after much negotiating I got it for 100,000 (£5.60 / $7.10), which I still thought was high for an afternoon's bicycle rental. I rent scooters for 24 hours for half that price in Thailand.
However after seeing the bike, I felt that it was a fair price.
It wasn't like the bashed and broken bikes you've seen me ride in the Batticaloa and Trincomalee vlogs. This bike was almost new, with cushioned seat, nice suspension, gears, nice tread on the tyres and everything working perfectly. It was well worth the money.
