TRANSPORTATION
There are 3 different options to get from Medan Airport to Ketambe: by mini bus, shared taxi or private taxi. I will explain you the different options, all starting from Medan. I can also help you with organizing your transport when you are coming from Berastagi, Lake Toba, Singkil, Banda Aceh, Takengon, Belangkejeren and Bukit Lawang, just contact me for more information.
Mini bus
The cheapest option is to go by mini bus. From the airport you have to take a Damri bus to Simpang Pos (Jalan Jamin Ginting), from there you can take a becak to Padang Bulan (Jalan Jamin Ginting). Padang Bulan is the area where all the mini busses are leaving. You have to take the mini bus from bus company BTN or Karsima. This mini bus will drop you in Kutacane. From Kutacane you have to take a labi-labi to Ketambe. The last labi-labi will leave around 17.30h from Kutacane, so be aware that you are on time in Kutacane.
Shared taxi
When you take a shared taxi, you will share a taxi with other passengers. A shared taxi is only available around 9.30 am or pm. The taxi will pick up you at the airport and drop you at your guesthouse.
Private taxi
When you take a private taxi, then you are the only passenger in the car. You can decide at what time you want to leave. The taxi will pick up you at the airport and drop you at your guesthouse.
