Cross over by ferry boat for about an hour back to Parapat and drive up while enjoy the stunning view to the marching mountains “Bukit Barisan” to reach Sipirok/Padang Sidempuan, known with its Salak palm fruit (snake skin fruit). Possibility stops on the way such as Lumban Binanga, a typical Batak village and Balige village with its very big traditional market built in traditional Tapanuli style and also some sulphur hot springs.
