Not many ppl know Tomok, an exotic place by Lake Toba. Most ppl who have been to indonesia, knows only Bali, Lombok, Jakarta, Medan, Aceh (coz of the Tsunami) Manado, TImor etc. TOmok can be reach by ferry from Parapat (Lake Toba) area. There are 2 main tourist attraction inside Tomok: 1. Stone Grave above the ground and 2. Dancing statute. Direct descendents of the king who is told to be inside the stone, are the guardians of the grave yard until now. It is amazing story how these grave stone came about. There are a couple of big ones and little ones. The big ones is said to contain the king and his most trusted general while the small little ones are his servants. If you want to go to TOmok, you will have to fly to Medan, either from Jakarta or Singapore. Then it wud take 5-6 hrs to reach Lake Toba. From thre you can take ferry, it wont take you more than 30mnts. Ppl are very nice over there, plenty of food and cheap. Any else have been to Tomok?
