What to Bring

Day 7 Study Focus: Lake Ecology

We will have a morning at leisure to swim in the lake, or cycle and trek through the beautiful rice terraced countryside

Following lunch at the lodge, we will set off by boat for an afternoon cruise to an amazing waterfall.

Along the way we will explore the ecology of this vast lake, from its native and introduced vegetation, to its bird life of egrets, kingfishers, herons and fish eagles. We will also see extensive aquaculture farming of fish that helps sustain the local economy

Binangalom Falls is a real Shangri la, as water plunges from the rim of the crater directly into the turquoise waters of the lake. The water is so oxygenated here that fish literally dance on the lake surface. Diving from rock ledges beside the falls into the 525 m deep lake is exhilarating.

Our sunset cruise back to our lodge will be highlighted with Batak musicians and singers, for the beginning of a wonderful last night together. A sumptuous meal of local delicacies will be followed by a closing celebration of music and dance on the lakeshore

Overnight: Carolina Cottages
