Pakpak Bharat

Tucked in the remote southwest, Pakpak Bharat is a mountainous, less-visited region south of Toba, celebrated for its pristine nature and Pakpak Batak culture.. Over 80% of Pakpak Bharat is cloaked in dense forests and rugged, providing habitat for diverse flora and fauna and a paradise for eco-adventurers. Within these jungles and villages lie mysterious megalithic stones called “mejan”, carved centuries ago by the ancestors of the Pakpak Batak people. The crown jewel is Lae Une Waterfall – a 30 m drop hidden in jungle, where a turquoise pool invites swimming and reflection.  Surrounded by dense tropical forest, Lae Une (and nearby cascades) offers one of the region’s most peaceful escapes, embodying Pakpak’s serene charm.  Travelers here encounter warm villagers in sloping villages, often greeted with traditional coffee and honey cakes.  With its quiet hiking trails and legends of ancient kings, Pakpak’s highlands feel timeless and authentic.  Overall, Pakpak Bharat appeals to explorers seeking untouched waterfalls and cultural warmth – it truly feels like a heartfelt song sung by the land itself
