... flying to Medan in the North/West part of the Sumatra island. I have just about a month for visit and I am not going to try to see everything. In fact I have all this time just for North and West Sumatra, flying out of Padang later on.
Medan
One of the main entry points to Sumatra. You can get a visa on arrival here, come by boat from Penang Island (from Malasia) or catch a flight from a few major Asia hubs.
