This Is A Recommendation For Tourist And Culinary Places Around The Sumatra Toll Road For Backflow Homecomers

In order to facilitate the flow of homecoming and tourist access on the island of Sumatra, PT Hutama Karya (Persero) (Hutama Karya) has operated more than 600 kilometers (km) of toll roads to shorten travel times and connect between regions in each province.

Executive Vice President (EVP) Corporate Secretary Hutama Karya Adjib Al Hakim said the culinary and tourism of each region on the island of Sumatra is very diverse and has its own uniqueness that must be visited.

"It is not an afdol if the Lebaran holiday does not try culinary pleasure or visit typical tourist areas that are crossed, especially since the moment may only occur once a year," said Adjib quoted from Hutama Karya's official website, Sunday, April 14.

Badminton Province Of South Sumatra

For travelers who are in Lampung, taking their families on vacation and staying for one day in Palembang can be a good option.

Homecomers can cross the Trans Sumatra Toll Road (JTTS) from Lampung to Palembang to shorten the time, namely through the Bakauheni-Terbanggi Besar Toll Road, the Terbanggi Besar-Kayu Agung Toll Road and the Kayuagung-Kramasan Toll Road at a rate of Rp. 40,000.

One of the culinary tours that can be an option during holidays in Palembang is Pempek Sentosa.

Located on Jl Ahmad Yani No.14, this restaurant presents 9 types of pempek and a variety of Palembang dishes complete with a friendly Pempek price in a bag of around Rp. 4,000 to Rp. 17,000 per pc.

This restaurant is also 10 minutes from the Palembang Toll Gate (GT), Palembang-Indralaya Toll Road. So, for travelers in Indralaya who want to pay a circuit in Palembang, they can stop by this restaurant by crossing the Palembang-Indralaya Toll Road of Rp. 27,000.

Still in South Sumatra Province, if toll road users are looking for a typical instagramable place to eat, they can visit Pindang Mbok Yah located on Jalan Seanak No. 22 which is also about 10 minutes from GT Palembang.

Selain Pindang Iwak Patin dan Pindang Tulang-nya yang menyuktif rasa, restoran ini juga memiliki konsep rumah terungan berupa sekoos Kajang atau salah satu jenis perusatan dengan atap zinc dicatan warna, sehingga menambah nilai aesthetic dari tempat makan ini.

In addition to culinary delights, travelers can spend all day visiting Ampera Bridge, trying the Palembang LRT to pray at the Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin Grand Mosque in Palembang.

Riau Province

Moving to Riau Province, travelers who are in Pekanbaru can invite their families to visit Dumai City via the Pekanbaru-Dumai Toll Road.

In Dumai, travelers and their families can try out the atmosphere of eating on the beach while enjoying seafood at the Fisherman's Village Restaurant located on Jl. Soekarno-Hatta, which is about 40 minutes from GT Dumai by spending electronic money card balances for toll rates of IDR 171,500.

After that, toll road users can also visit the natural tourism of Teluk Makmur Beach or Dumai Mangrove Forest.

As for the opposite direction, for toll road users from Dumai to Pekanbaru who want to feel the sensation of having a vacation around Asia, toll road users can visit Asia Heritage tours which are located for about 5 minutes from GT Pekanbaru, precisely located on Jl. Yos Sudarso No.12 or can eat a typical Malay dish at Pondok Gurih Alas Daun or RM. Patin Yunus.

Badminton North Sumatra Province

Shifting to North Sumatra Province, travelers who are in the Tebing Tinggi or Indrapura area who want to go to the Kisaran area can stop by the Restaurant 100 to taste typical melayu dishes ranging from Gulai Asam to Cocol Pari Fish with chilies doused with soy sauce with a legit taste.

RM 100 is located on Jl Medan-Kisaran KM 100, Batubara or about 15 minutes from GT Fifty. Thus, toll road users must ensure that they have an electronic money card balance of Rp20,500 to cross the toll road.

Meanwhile, toll road users who want to have a picnic with their families can visit Kelapa Gading Lake with a free entrance ticket in the Kisaran Naga area or about 10 minutes from the Kisaran GT with the same balance. This is because the Indrapura-Kisaran Section Fifty-Kisaran Toll Road is still operating functionally, so it is still not effective.

"With the recommendation and ease of access to travel through JTTS, toll road users do not need to worry because it is certain that services on toll roads are guaranteed and safe with 24-hour alert personnel and complete facilities that provide rest areas, gas stations to SPKLU for electric cars on several toll roads," he added.
