HUTA SIALLAGAN: Full guided tour of Lake Toba's restored Batak village.

The Batak Toba tribes of North Sumatra have quite the reputation - in the past as fierce warriors and quite famously, cannibals.

But is this reputation warranted? Did they REALLY consume human flesh, and why? Come along with us to visit one of the most popular restored Batak Villages in Lake Toba and find out a bit more about this unique culture.

At Huta Siallagan (Siallagan village) we admire the incredible architecture of the "Rumah Bolon" (Batak houses), visit a restored King's house, check out the stone chairs used in court cases hundreds of years ago, and look into the method of punishment and execution carried out by ancient Batak tribes.
