Hotels in Sumatra, Indonesia

Sumatra stretches across Indonesia's equator, with a tropical climate that stays hot and humid year-round, averaging 77-91°F (25-33°C). The dry season from June to September is prime for trekking to see wild orangutans in Gunung Leuser National Park, while the wetter months from October to March bring lush green landscapes perfect for surfing the big waves at Mentawai Islands or exploring the volcanic Lake Toba. Northern Sumatra offers rugged jungle adventures, while the south has ancient temples like Muaro Jambi, so you can pick your vibe based on the season.
