Medan
1)Berastagi - popular
mountain resort for weekend getaways, for Medan locals. About 1.5
hours drive from Medan.
2)Bukit
Lawan - A 3 hour journey from Medan, the latter half of the
journey being a rather bumpy and pot-holed ride. Beautiful little
village on the edge of the Leuser National Park and home to an
Orang-utan rehabilitation center where you may get up close and
personal with some of the inmates. Jungle treks can be arranged or
you can just relax by the river. The village was devastated by a
flood in 2003, making it a little less pretty than it once was. But
please don't be put off! It's still a wonderful place to visit and
the residents are still trying to pick up the pieces of thier lives
since their disaster and rely on tourism to do just that.

volcanic eruption. Has a large island, Samosir, in the
middle.
