Toba Wonder

   Simalungun, NINNA.ID -Bayangkan sebuah kampung yang memeluk bukit hijau dengan sawah-sawah bertingkat yang ditatah rapi di lereng-lerengnya — sebuah karya manusia yang seolah menjadi tangga menuju langit. Inilah Kampung Girsang, sebuah keajaiban hidup yang tak kalah menakjubkan dari teras sawah Cordillera di Filipina. Kampung Girsang bukan hanya sebuah destinasi wisata; ia adalah napas yang memberi kehidupan bagi manusia dan alam. Di sinilah, setiap jengkal tanah adalah saksi bisu perjuangan para petani yang menenun harapan dengan tangan mereka sendiri. Sawah bertingkat di Sitombom dan Gala-Gala tidak dibangun dalam semalam, tetapi lahir dari gotong royong generasi demi generasi yang tak mengenal lelah. Seperti yang terjadi di Cordillera Filipina, sawah bertingkat di Kampung Girsang adalah mahakarya yang menaklukkan medan terjal. Dengan kemiringan yang menantang, para petani di Girsang mengguratkan sawah-sawah pada kontur alam, menjaga humus agar tidak hanyut saat hujan tur...

        Simalungun, NINNA.ID-  Tidak jauh dari Pantai Bebas Parapat, sekitar 7 menit perjalanan, terdapat sebuah kampung yang seakan-akan mengajarkan kita arti hidup dalam harmoni dengan alam dan leluhur. Itulah  Kampung Girsang , kampung tua yang telah mencatatkan kisah panjang marga Sinaga — cikal bakal yang menenun sejarah Batak Toba hingga kini. Napak Tilas Jejak Leluhur Kampung Girsang bukan sekadar destinasi wisata biasa. Ini adalah kanvas sejarah yang hidup. Berawal dari kisah Suhut Ni Huta, seorang leluhur Sinaga Bonor, yang melalui perjalanan penuh tantangan di Tanah  Samosir  hingga akhirnya mendirikan pemukiman di Kampung Girsang. Dari sinilah nama-nama kampung bermunculan: Sidasuhut, Sidallogan, Simaibang, Simandalahi, dan Simanjorang — setiap nama adalah pengingat akan keberanian dan kebijaksanaan leluhur mereka. Menapaki kampung ini ibarat membaca bab demi bab sebuah buku sejarah yang belum selesai ditulis. Marsiadapari Tak lengkap r...

   Samosir, NINNA.ID -Hari itu aku diundang sama Pak Wilmar Simanjorang menghadiri acara seremonial penanaman pohon di Tugu Toga Sinaga. Untuk pertama kalinya aku masuk ke Tugu Toga Sinaga. Sebenarnya sudah sering melintas di depan gerbang tugu ini. Sering melihat banyak peziarah di dalam tugu. Kali ini, aku memutuskan untuk memuaskan rasa penasaran seperti apa Tugu Sinaga itu. Begitu tiba, aku melihat areal parkiran Tugu Toga Sinaga sangat luas. Ratusan mobil bisa muat di areal parkiran ini. Lokasi ini sangat cocok untuk diadakan acara besar seperti pesta rakyat. Selain itu, ada beberapa potensi yang dapat dikembangkan di areal tugu ini.

 Hello, my name is Damayanti Sinaga, but you can call me  Butet . In Batak culture, “Butet” is a name often given to female babies, but as I’ve grown, it’s become a part of my identity. Though I’m no longer a baby, the name stuck, especially as many people outside the  Batak community call me Butet. Over time, I’ve come to embrace it. I live in  Kampung Ulos Hutaraja Pardamean , a charming village located on the beautiful  Samosir Island , which is nestled next to the majestic  Lake Toba  in the highlands of North Sumatra. Living here, surrounded by natural beauty and rich cultural heritage, fills me with pride. It’s no wonder I’ve become passionate about sharing my home with others. A Passion for Guiding and Promoting Lake Toba One of the main reasons I became a tour guide is my deep desire to meet and connect with people from all over the world. Through guiding, I can introduce visitors to the wonders of  Lake Toba , which holds a special place ...
