Unique Batak tribe in Tomok village

When visiting Lake Toba in Medan, do not miss out visiting the Batak tribe in Tomok village as this village is rich in heritage and culture. Take a ferry to the samosir island and you will find the tomok village in the midst of tomok market selling many shirts and items. Although it has become rather touristy, Batak tribe people still stay in these elaborated uniquely shaped houses (which is why you cannot enter the houses). These houses are called rumah bolon and can house 5-6 families! Over here, you can try dressing up as a Batak, learn their dances and also visit the Batak museum. #travelanywhere
