In this video, we’re taking you to the tallest waterfall in Indonesia, Air Terjun Ponot.
We’ll also be rafting on the Asahan River, which was once voted the the third best place to go rafting in the world.
We’re starting our trip from the southern edge of Lake Toba, and we’ll be making the 60 km drive to the Asahan Regency.
So join us on this chapter of our journey, as we drive our motorbikes from Jakarta to Sabang, across the 6th largest island in the world Sumatra, Indonesia.
We hope you enjoy the video!

saya selaku operator arung jeram jawa tengah,sangat menyayangkan dg adanya plta tersebut,saya juga sedih dengan hilangnya arung jeram terbaik 3 di dunia,tapi saya cuma mendoakan,semoga teman teman di asahan sehat selalu dan sukses untuk kedepanya,#salamsejajar #rafterindonesia

[@parlinpurba3146]

Arung jeram disana tak menguntungkan bila bandingkan dgn plta...

[@anasachmad9832]

​@@parlinpurba3146iya juga sih, tapi kalo dipikir2 lagi sayang banget soalnya udah masuk top 3 dunia

Luar biasa guys. This is probably our favourite video you've ever done! We've always wanted to check out Sungai Asahan dan Air Terjun Ponot! What in incredible area and a super fun journey. Must say we both had a tear in our eye when hearing about this incredible ecosystem and natural wonder that is going to be gone very soon. So sad. But really appreciate that we got a chance to see it through your eyes before it was lost forever. Mauliate.

[@thelostboys.travel]

Thanks so much guys! Hopefully you can make it to the valley to see the waterfall. Take care 🤙🏼

Saya warga asahan, tepat nya di kota kisaran, memang kejadian ini membingungkan, 1 sisi indonesia sedang gencar nya membangun indonesia maju, dari mulai freeport sampai inalum, tahap ini menguntungkan pemerintah,menambah lapangan kerja masyarakat, akan tetapi melihat dari sisi pariwisata, mandalika moto gp, danau toba F1 super boat, di bangun menghabiskan anggaran negara yang begitu banyak, di asahan, jeram terbaik bahkan sewaktu saya SD sempat mendapatkan peringkat 1 dalam RPUL, mungkin jika jeram asahan di biayai untuk pembangunan pariwisata, setengah dari anggaran mandalika dll, mungkin saja ini lebih menguntungkan semua pihak, dari mulai pemerintah hingga masyarakat yang hidup di pinggir sungai mendapatkan keuntungan, tapi sayang, gajah mati meninggalkan belalai, jeram asahan ( YANG DULU) peringkat terbaik dan sekarang hanya menjadi arsip dunia :)

[@misnawati1936]

Pemda sumut itu kebanyakan korupsi,makannyq daerahnya gak maju-maju. Apalagi Gub yg sekarang iiihh najis kali nengoknya. Manusianya aja yg makin banyak.

[@hermanry1107]

Jakarta hadir, Waduh.. Sayang banget klo arung jeram nya sampe gak ada lagi, Arung jeram Peringkat 3 dunia akan hilang bgtu saja, Dan hanya akan jadi kenangan 😓😭😭😭

[@nasrimulyadi857]

Mantap brother, 👏👏👏 Walaupun terdengar kabar memilukan, setidaknya bagi kami yang belum pernah kesana sudah meliat sungai yg terbaik 3 dunia untuk arung jeram itu dari kalian, dan mungkin nanti kami hanya bisa mendengar tentang kisah sungai hebat di negri ini... Thank you brother Kami bangga kepada kalian...

Thanks a lot for exploring unknown places in North Sumatra. Even me, a Bataknese, just knew about the tallest waterfall in Indonesia from you, guys. It’s so sad to hear about the wonderful Asahan river. 😢 I did enjoy your vlog, and wish that next vlog will be a little longer. Thumbs up 👍🏻 👍🏻

[@triratnawati6490]

Rob & Cheyne : are you not eating noodles again ???hahaha ..sorry just kidding 😅 😂 Both of you are gorgeous "Aquamen", handsome coast guards & international digital nomads 😊 Proud of you, guys ! Thanks so much for your wonderful vlog from Regency Asahan, North Sumatera Indonesia. Have a lovely weekend & take care. Terima kasih...

[@koikoi6704]

Selalu hati hati guys, apalagi dekat aliran sungai saat masuk musim hujan, kadang hujan di daerah yang lebih tinggi membawa banjir dadakan yang sulit diprediksi.. tapi tetap enjoy ya👍👍

[@anggiwisnu1494]

Sungguh amat disayangkan mengenai sungai asahan. Sedih juga karna belom pernah kesana. Semoga konservasi dan program pemeliharaan lingkungan , ada dan konsisten berjalan. .. Di tunggu video selanjutnya.

[@uudamnxx]

keren banget kontennya, gue baru tau kalo air terjun tertinggi itu ada di Medan. Info sungai Asahan juga bikin sedih huff (kinda ashamed). Terima kasih Rob dan Cheyne, konten-konten kalian sangat bermanfaat, menghibur dan memberikan positive insight pada masyarakat Indonesia. Lots of love guys🤍❤️

Sad to hear the asahan river raftinh will be gone, its a world class rafting 😢

[@misnawati1936]

Orang2nya aja gak ada yg tertarik buat maen. Giliran mau di buat PLTA pada ribut. Padahal plta itu juga buat penambahan tenaga listrik masyarakat sumut.

[@shine-light]

From Kisaran down to Toba, memandang sungai ini hanya lewat kaca mobil. Sungai yg benar2 menakjubkan. Sungai perkasa, begitulah saya menyebutnya dlm hati. Luar biasa dengan hutan lebat yg membentenginya. Sedih sekali mendengarnya ditutup utk rafting.

[@nancyyourna]

Aku udah liat sungai ini langsung, bagi aku sangat menarik dan mistis.. ❤👍

[@Zahratul.mahyra]

Luar biasa indahnya Indonesia....perjalanan ke Sabang nanti harus melalui jalur/pantai barat Aceh karena banyak spot2 wisata yang sangat bagus

[@akmalpressf1292]

kita terlalu berfokus pada danau toba sehingga kita tidak tahu bahwa ada arung jeram yang pernah "#3 world". Predikat tersebut harusny membuat orang yang kelasnya awam di dunia rafting tahu hal tsb, nyatanya tidak. PR buat mentri pariwisata selanjutny agar promosi wisata alam meningkat secara merata sehingga lebih menguntungkan, lalu bertahan dan berkelanjutan. thanks for cheyne n rob
