Bukit Holbung is a hill covered by grasses, south of Pangururan town at the mainland side. In addition to its location and elevation, it is one of the best places to view geological feature of Lake Toba around Pangururan, which features rolling hills and mountains with lush grasslands and sparse trees, and green bushes found at lower elevation nearer to the lake surface. Its elevation is just nice to view the lake water without too much of reflection on the water surface. The trail is clear and straightforward, and goes through many levels of increasing altitude. A short 15 min walk is required to reach a height with magnificent view. To the north, a bay with rolling hills and Pusuk Buhit Mountain can be seen while to the south is Sihotang Valley and the surrounding rolling mountains. More serious hikers can climb all the way to the top, which takes around an hour. Nature lovers would find the view here to be grandiose and exceedingly beautiful.

Reviewed By Vigswaminathan - Singapore, Singapore

We made our way here as one of the first visits on Samosir island. We came here mainly mto visit the Batak Museum. This place also houses one of the Batak tribe's king's tomb.

It's on the main land near pangruan exit of the island. Once you cross the bridge from island keep on the left, directions are well marked. Went there on motorbike, roads were good small broken patches at few place. The view from tower is amazing. There is nominal entrance fee. It's must visit if you are spending some time on samosir..

Tomb of the Sidabutar Kings

Reviewed By Vigswaminathan - Singapore, Singapore

After visiting the Batak Museum, we took a short ride to Tomok village to view the Tombs of the Batak Kings. We parked at a private parking space on the main road which was lined with shops and took a 10min walk. Its a walk up slope from the main road market street to get here. From the tomb designs you could appreciate the evolution of the culture up to modern age and also how the Christian faith weaved into their culture. Very interesting. He were also giving a brief demonstration of a traditional dance which we participated in and our kids had a good laugh. There is also a Batak traditional house that is set up as a museum that houses traditional clothing and tools to better appreciate the Batak culture. The whole visit was about slightly under an hour.
