Dokan North Sumatra

The charming village of Dokan is around 16km south of Kabanjahe. Some half a dozen traditional houses can be found here and they're all occupied, which makes the place more interesting than any of the museum-like traditional buildings you might have seen elsewhere. However, as they remain family homes you’re unlikely to be invited inside to look around. You can get here by the occasional direct minibus from Kabanjahe (7000Rp).
