Getting There
-
Car
From the center of Lake Toba (like Tuk Tuk or Samosir), head towards Pangururan. Take the road towards the south, which will lead you directly to the town of Pangururan. Once you reach Pangururan, follow the signs to Pardugul. The drive will take about 30-40 minutes from Tuk Tuk. Make sure to have a map or GPS, as the roads can be winding. After reaching Pardugul, look for the signs leading to Pusuk Buhit Mountain. The last stretch may require driving on narrower roads, so proceed with caution.
-
Public Transportation
If you prefer public transportation, start by taking a minibus (angkot) from your location in Lake Toba to Pangururan. These minibuses run frequently and will cost around IDR 20,000-30,000 per person. Once you arrive in Pangururan, you can either walk or hire a local motorcycle taxi (ojek) to take you to Pardugul, which should cost around IDR 10,000-15,000. From Pardugul, you may need to hike or take an arranged vehicle to the base of Pusuk Buhit Mountain, as public transport does not go all the way up. Prepare for a bit of walking, as the paths may not be directly accessible by vehicles.
-
Tour Guide Services
For a more convenient experience, consider hiring a local tour guide who can arrange transportation to Pusuk Buhit Mountain. Many tour services in Lake Toba offer packages that include transport, meals, and guided hikes. Prices vary but expect to pay around IDR 500,000-1,000,000 per person, depending on the inclusions. This option ensures you have a knowledgeable guide to enhance your experience and help navigate the area safely.
