2025 Salaon Dolok Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

Huta Siallagan was my last stop of Samosir round the island trip as it was within walking distance to my hotel in Tuk-Tuk Timbul. In the Batak language, Huta Siallagan means the Village of Siallagan Clan. The village was founded by King Siallagan hundreds of years ago. There are a number of traditional Bolon and Sopo houses which are traditional houses of the Batak people. At the center of Huta Siallagan you can see two sets of large stones carved into chairs encircling a stone table. These stone furniture artifacts are called Batu Parsidangan, meaning “Stones for Meetings and Trials”. Entrance fee Rp10,000. #laketoba #samosir #toba #batukursi #museum #batak #history #village #ancient Village

Batu Passa comes from the word Passa Passa in the Batak language which means a place for farmers in the middle of a rice field to repel birds that eat rice. It is located on the shores of Lake Toba, Sangkal Village, Simanindo District, Samosir Regency. There is an iconic tree that grows very near to the water surrounded by big rocks. The rocks in this place make it one of the exotic places in Samosir Regency. It's definitely an insta worthy place! This place is not crowded and completely free to visit. You can park close to the shore at the empty space available. Many people stop here for pictures and you can even have picnics here. #laketoba #samosir #batupassa #lake #batak

A very beautiful volcanic island. You will be able to spend a peaceful and wonderful time there. The residents are also kind. To get to the island, take a 40-minute ferry from Parlay on the opposite shore for 17,000 yen. There are no taxis from the ferry to the accommodation and you can't use the app, so catch a local and negotiate with them.
