🇮🇩 Stay in Gapura Hotel, Parapat by Lake Toba

I spent one night at Gapura Hotel in Parapat, a small town in North Sumatra on the edge of Lake Toba, before taking a ferry to Samosir Island the following day. My hotel room was facing the lake and the view of Lake Toba was priceless. The hotel is situated along the main road. The view of Lake Toba along the road was amazing! However the road conditions were bad. There was literally no space for pedestrians to walk. I felt quite unsafe walking on the road as I had to walk very close to the edge to avoid being run over by passing vehicles and constantly keep a look out for vehicles behind me. There were many stalls and small restaurants along the main road. Most of them offer a very nice view of Lake Toba and the prices were cheap. #travelanywhere #laketoba #parapat #volcano #hotel #medan #budgetfriendly #budgettravel #lake #solotravel #backpacking #lakeview #toba #tripblazers #hôtel
