Samosir is the name of island in north Sumatera, Indonesia this island located in the center of Lake Toba (is the biggest lake in Indonesia) , more than a thousand years Bataknese people live on this island they have a strong character and rich of cultures most of Bataknese people live as a farmer yet a few of them live as a fisherman they can farm the rich on the good land and hatchery many kind of fresh water fish.
Samosir Island is beautiful place surrounding by line of valleys with rain forest plan on these valleys more look like green walls if we view it from the lake Toba, on the island you still can fine many wild life monkeys,birds and hogs but we can't fine Tigers on this island any more because they are extinct many-many years ago. you will get interesting experience on this island with see how the Bataknese farm their pigs, Bataknese farm their pigs with let them fine their own food every where they can fine.
To get this island you must visit Medan the capital of North Sumatera first, you can fly from Jakarta, capital city of Indonesia to Medan. My advise is take a bus direction to Aji Bata and than take a traditional boat to Nainggolan,the capital city of Samosir from Nainggolan you can plan your trip with information from the local people and some motel with warm hospitality can fine here as well. I hope you enjoy visit Samosir with beautiful lake Toba.
