Hike Bukit Holbung for Stunning Views
Some of the most mesmerizing views of Lake Toba are specially reserved for those standing on the heights of Bukit Holbung. Just a 1.5-hour drive from Pelabuhan Tomok, Simanindo, in Kabupaten Samosir, this destination is well worth the journey. As you ascend the hill, the world around you slowly changes: lush greenery, cool breezes, and the vast, tranquil waters of Lake Toba unfold before your eyes.
The magic of Bukit Holbung lies in its panoramic vistas. From the top, you’re treated to an awe-inspiring view of the expansive Lake Toba, along with the picturesque island of Samosir, all bathed in the golden light of the sun. There are three stunning peaks to explore, each offering its own unique perspective of this majestic landscape.
The trek to the summit is a delightful experience, with a gentle incline that allows you to fully take in the breathtaking surroundings. As you climb, you’ll be immersed in the beauty of the hillsides and valleys that stretch out below—the sense of peace that only such a pristine location can provide.
At the top, the views are nothing short of spectacular. It’s a moment to pause, reflect, and breathe in the grandeur of Lake Toba and Samosir Island in all their glory.
Come wander. Hike the gentle paths, reach the peaks. The destination is truly worth the road that leads there.
