HOW TO TRAVEL SUMATRA 2024 | 10 Essential Tips for Travelling to SUMATRA, INDONESIA

I live in Indonesia and have traveled solo around Java regularly, but this is my first time to Sumatra.
Padang, Medan, Banda Aceh, Palembang, Belitung, Banda Lampung and Bengkulu over 5 weeks.
Im aware of the modest clothing requirements for Aceh but anything else I need to be aware of?

Thank you! Good video!

Hello Agung and Carly, loving your videos. Great information thank you so much 🙏 I’m planning on coming to Sumatra in June for around a month, travelling alone.
I am hoping to be in internet service for the majority of the time as I have duties I need to fulfil each day. lol, random question… where are the best places to visit that still have good internet reception. I’m keen to see as much as I can and do a few activities while I’m in Sumatra but mostly just want to chill and eat on a minimal budget as I’m hoping to travel throughout South East Asia for 4 to 6 months. I fly into Singapore and was planning to either catch the ferry from Singapore or to go into Malaysia and catch the ferry from Melaka to Dumai.
I’m not in a rush in the time I’ll be in Sumatra but being contactable is essential. I hope to hear back from you and maybe meet you both.

You guys so helpfull with this information, would love to travel with you guys around there to show us around. Cheers

Thank you for this great video! Is it possible to fly into Singapur and travel through Sumatra to Java? Or would that be too complicated? Thank you in advance:)

terima kasih

Informasi yang sangat berguna- we’re going to use all this informations next year. Se you next year 😊

Come to lampung province in Sumatra. Many beaches and hills, and traditional ceremonies etc

Hello there!! :D

I am in Indonesia since 10days now, and Sumatra by 6 :)
I plan to extend my visa and stay until the end of it in Sumatra... Therefore, I would Like to know if there is an immigration office nearby Toba Lake, as I would Like to avoid Big cities. Otherwise I will have to do Kerinci province - Bukkittinggi - Banyak Island or Toba Lake

Instead of doing direct Kerinci - Lake Toba or iSland Banyak (will do both, just dont know yet which one in first :) )

So I would be super interested to have some information about immigration

Thanks you so much
Sorry about that, I Know you're not a company but ... 😅

Much thanks 🙏

Really helpful. Terima Kasih banyak

I will be leaving the Netherlands in about 3 weeks to travel Sumatra! thank you so much for this video, I feel much more ready now! I will be visiting lake toba as well, if you are still there I would love to have a drink together :)

Hi guys! Is it good idea to rent a car in Medan and go around Lake Toba?
(We are very experienced moto drivers in Indonesia, but never drove a car there)

What an excellent presentation of usefull info and travel tips for Summatra. I watched countless others before finding this treasure, thanks folks. 💚

Thank you for all the tips, this was so informative, can’t wait to come discover Sumatra !

So useful information I've visted Indonesia loads of times but never been to Sumatra. Planning on doing this in November

Hello! Great video, useful tips! Would you be able to recommend a driver in the area Bukittinggi/ Batusangkar? Thanks a lot!

Great video, thank you. My wife and I have two weeks to visit in December. Is there an area that you could recommend for that time frame. Much appreciated.

HELLO. AGAIN , i will expend 7-8 days en sumatra , going first to bukit lawang , and not sure where to go after , so how cai i get from there to padang or do you recommend me another place instead ?¿. since i need to back to Medan to take the flight back , and what is the best transport to move to another town , thank you so much !

Thanks for the really informative video! I'm thinking of coming over from Bangkok to Northern Sumatra second half of October and maybe going to lake Toba, Leuser National Park and up to Banda Aceh and Pulau Weh. You think this season is good to come over?

MUCHAS GRACIAS , SEE U SOON SUMATRA

Very helpful video thank you.

I went to bali and now i really want to go to sumatra. Inshallah Allah will open a path for me to visit

Very informative video, thank you! Do you have any recommendations for which part of Sumatra to visit if you you only have about 6 days (landing at Medan, Padang or Palembang)?

This is a very helpful video. Thank you very much. Do you have any tips to find out the public transport schedule?

Amazing video guys ! Very comprehensive thanks for your awesome energy too . Can’t wait to visit this beautiful place 😎👌🏾🌴

HORAS! Thank you for your very interesting and helpfull videos.
I wanted to know if Agung knew Ismail & Cicilia Naufal Sabita & Sanit from Berastagi?
I am French and I lived many years in Sumatra and thank you for these videos that promotes this beautiful island!!! We only talk about Bali but Sumatra is for me one of the most beautiful island in the world with a welcoming population, with so much diversity in food and culture.
Thanks again to both of you, good continuation...
We love you...
Sampai jumpa lagi :)

Thank you so much for this helpful video! So useful :)

Hi I am an Australian pensioner and I want to live in Samatra for long periods of time, what are the processes to obtain a long-term visa, and where to get cheap housing for a person paying by the month, thank you very much and a cordial greeting from Perth Australia.

Very good video. And I met you yesterday in TukTuk. I stay at Bagus Homestay. Very good place.

Great!

Keren!

baru bulan lalu dari Samosir dan Toba. Family Trip jadi tidak bisa hang out sama kalian. Maybe next time 😊👍

Oh actually one more question, my flight says I need to be at the Semarang airport 4 hours in advance for a regional flight, that can't be true is it?

This is so helpful! And good to know about foreign credit cards on Lion Air, they wouldn't take my Canadian credit card and this is the third time that has happened. But I've never had a problem with Wise and so I used it for the flight as well.

Great video, sorry it took me so long to subscribe and like.... Modern techno stuff takes me a while to work out 🙄

Terima kasih 4 informasi. Senang sekali "Sumatran Talk Show."

Mantap Agung Kacaribu 👍

That was so professional and interesting and informative - well done 👍

Kia Ora, the tickets are booked already! My brother and I will be visiting Sumatra in November. Looking forward to it.

Goodd night, beautiful done,👋
