Lake Toba and Samosir Island view from Tele Point of View
Welcoming this July 2017 with new publication. It has been a while that I have a proper photos publication for feature story/article. And this time it is all about Samosir Island – Lake Toba for my previous customer SilkAir Inflight Magazines SilkWinds July 2017 edition. I did the trip during the last week of May 2017. Stayed for 4 nights there at beautiful and peaceful Tabo Cottage.

I did travel to Samosir island before, but this time was different. I had a proper island exploration which guided by local guide name Mr. Melani. He is very knowledgable and also know everyone on the island (It is not a big island, so everyone mostly know each other here). There are several places where I revisit such as, Tomok, Siallagan Village, and Simanindo Village for the traditional dance. But, I also did add Tele for its amazing sunrise and also Bukit Beta for another sunrise. As for sunset I just stay at Tabo Cottages, since it has a great position and beautiful sunset by the pool.
