Efrata Waterfall
Air Terjun Sampuran Efrata
A broad waterfall on the Harangaol highlands of Samosir Regency, with water pouring down a cliff about 25 meters high.
Efrata Waterfall is in Sosor Dolok village on the southwest shore of Lake Toba. The falls are wide, with a drop of about 25 meters, and are surrounded by rice paddies and pine forest. From the parking lot, a five-minute walk up the steps leads to a viewing area at the base of the falls. The spray is heavy, and the falls are especially impressive in the rainy season. Admission and parking are both very cheap, and there are simple rest pavilions. It is about 20 minutes by car from both Bukit Sibea-bea and Tele Observation Tower, so the three are easy to visit together. Steps can be slippery after rain, so wear non-slip shoes.
