We Found a Hidden Hot Spring on the Edge of the Jungle! TANGKAHAN, North Sumatra

- Welcome back to the beautiful village of Tangkahan in North Sumatra, Indonesia! In this video, we visit one of the coolest (or should we say hottest?) spots in the village - a hidden cave hot spring tucked away in the rocks on the edge of the stunning, pristine Sungai Buluh (Buluh River).
Tangkahan is one of our favourite spots in North Sumatra. This hidden paradise is located on the border of the Gunung Leuser National Park (also known as the Leuser Ecosystem), and is a fantastic place to connect with nature.
Right next to Tangkahan village, there are two rivers perfect for cooling off in, a small waterfall, and the fantastic hot spring featured in this video.
But there are also more waterfalls, hot springs and jungle treasures just a short trek away. And of course, there are the famous Tangkahan elephants to meet at the rescue centre.
If you want to go jungle trekking in search of orangutans in the Sumatran rainforest, Tangkahan is an excellent alternative to nearby Bukit Lawang, with far fewer tourists and a more local vibe.

Hi, I'm Agung, I live in Lake Toba, Sumatra (Indonesia) with my wife Carly. I was born in Sumatra, so love sharing all my local knowledge with visitors. Carly has been a traveller to Sumatra since 2009, and has been living here the last few years. We now live in Tuktuk village on Samosir Island in Lake Toba, North Sumatra. Together, we create content to help share the beauty of incredible Sumatra with the world.
Horas, Mejuah juah - see you in Sumatra!

Guys - there is SO MUCH MORE we wanted to show you of Tangkahan but simply didn't have enough time. This is only a little teaser of the beauty and incredible experiences available in this extraordinary area.
Also want to emphasise that during the week (outside of the holiday season), this is such a quiet, peaceful area. And even on weekends, there are plenty of places to go to avoid crowds - although it can be nice to mingle with the local tourists too!

The place that changed my life 🥰
Wow super cool
Thanks Tony! It’s a special place 😊
Wow that really brought back memories of that special place! Love that hot spring! Great video guys ❤
Thanks K! So glad it brought you back some good memories. Hope you get to revisit again at some point! 😊😊😊
You should go to Kolam Abadi in Langkat regency. It's so cool, the water is so crystal clear and blue. But don't know during the holiday season, maybe it's gonna be full packed.
Yes! We've seen photos and videos of Kolam Abadi - it looks amazing! We will definitely try to visit sometime - but yes, probably outside of holiday season. Thanks for the tip! ☺
I am really enjoying watching your videos, thank you Carly and Agung. It is so interesting seeing this part of the world, and how people live there..
Hey Vicki! Thanks so much - that’s really lovely to hear. We love sharing these beautiful places with everyone and are excited to keep doing it next year! Thanks for the support 😊😊😊
Banyak terima kasha 4 great video! Happy new year, love from Cookie!
Happy New Year Cookie and Liz! ☺❤
Such a special place - shame about the rubbish - it is probably a problem world wide - so nice to see you back in Tangkahan - the river looked so inviting as I sit here in NZ on another lovely day but humid . xxxx 💚💛🌻
The river is just DELICIOUS! So refreshing. xx
Was great to go back to wonderful Tangkahan with you both, we have created lots of beautiful memories there ❤
So glad we made it there! Looking forward to our next adventures 😊
@@ExploringSumatra hopefully not too long before we can do that!!
Tangkahan
Betul.
Hi thanks for sharing...ak yg dr Sumatra gk pernah kesini.😊 salam dr 🇺🇸
Thank you! Kamu dari mana di Sumatra? 😊
Di Medan
100% agree with you about the garbage. Indonesia is such a beautiful country but unfortunately the Indonesians do not respect their home. Such a shame. The monitor lizards were moving slow, didn't seem to be afraid of humans. They are really cool and I love seeing them. The hot springs looked so inviting, so relaxing - nice!
The rubbish thing is a real shame - I hope that the next generations can turn it around - it seems there is more awareness than previously, but still not enough action. The monitor lizards did seem quite used to people - later on we saw some people throwing rocks at them, which we quickly put a stop to! It really is such a gorgeous place - and really nice during the week when it feels like it's just you and the jungle 😀
Looks amazing. You've really inspired us to visit Sumatra. I've read a lot of information about the rainy season, but it's all very conflicting. We plan to visit from mid February for around 3 weeks. Do you think this is an okay time? We don't mind a bit of rain since we're from Holland (the country of rain).
That's so great to hear that we've helped motivate you to come check out Sumatra! How exciting! February is a great time to come, and 3 weeks a decent chunk of time to see quite a lot. February is around the beginning of dry season, so it should be perfect - although the line between wet and dry season isn't as clear as it once was. You shouldn't get a lot of rain - even in wet season, it usually only rains in the afternoons or evenings (of course, always a little more near the rainforest!) Happy trip planning and feel free to email if you have any other questions ☺exploringsumatra@gmailcom
@@ExploringSumatra Thank you for this respons! We'll definitely check out your page to plan our trip on the beautiful island of Sumatra! Thanks a lot!
I wish they would take their rubbish with them. Thanks guys 😊
Totally agree with you there! Seems like simple solution but not quite embedded in the majority of people's behaviour yet. Hopefully in the years to come! ☺
This is absolutely shocking the amount of rubbish. What a shame. I am a Muslim and this is strictly forbidden in islam. This is 100% a lack of education. I absolutely dislike that. My goodness look after your land.😡😡
It is really disappointing - definitely a mixture of lack of education as well as resources. Indonesia is so beautiful and it's a shame to see some of its best places marred by trash.
