Parapat is the main resort town on the eastern shore of Lake Toba, about 157 km by road south of the airport. The route joins the Medan to Tebing Tinggi toll road at Lubuk Pakam and continues on the newer toll road towards Pematangsiantar and Parapat, after which the last 40 km follow an ordinary two-lane road through plantations and pine forest down to the lake. This last part winds through hills and can be slow behind trucks and buses, especially on weekends and holidays.
Lake Toba fills the caldera of a huge volcano and is the largest lake in Indonesia, with the island of Samosir in its middle. Parapat has hotels, guesthouses and restaurants spread along the hillside above the water, and the nearby port of Ajibata has car ferries to Samosir, while smaller passenger boats leave from Parapat itself. Many travellers spend a night in Parapat before crossing to Tuktuk or Tomok on Samosir. The air is cooler than in Medan because the lake lies at about 900 m.
Public transport: There is no direct public transport from the airport to Lake Toba. The airport train reaches Medan station, and the rest of the trip to Parapat is by road; intercity buses and shared minibuses are run by private operators from Medan.
