Once you enter Langkat, navigate towards Sei Musam and follow local signs to the Summit of North Sumatra, located at JVH3+P4G, Sei Musam, Batang Serangan. Be prepared for some unpaved roads as you approach the hiking area. Ensure you have a GPS or a reliable map app for accurate navigation.

  • Public Transportation

    To reach Summit of North Sumatra via public transportation, start by taking a minibus (angkot) from Medan to Binjai. The fare is approximately IDR 25,000 ($1.75) and the journey takes about 1 hour. From Binjai, you can catch another angkot heading towards Langkat Regency. After reaching Langkat, you may need to hire a local ojek (motorcycle taxi) or a taxi to take you to Sei Musam. The ojek fare may range from IDR 20,000 to IDR 50,000 ($1.50 to $3.50) depending on the distance. Once you arrive in Sei Musam, look for signs leading to the hiking area at JVH3+P4G.
