Tangkahan has so far three nice accommodations, all with nice
bungalows in a natural setting, along the clear river. Electricity
is available between 18.00 and approximately 23.00. There is no
mobile phone coverage, but sms can get through.
Rooms can also be booked through the Medan office of the Community
Tourism Organization (CTO) in Medan. Especially in low season it can
be a good idea to book, as the accommodations maybe need to get
supplies.
The accommodations are on the other side of the river. There are two
eco-friendly boats available, using the flowing water as the only
form of power. For Rp. 5-10.000 you get a three day pass. One of
them is owned by CTO and the other by the accommodations.
 Mega Inn, 6 rooms w. bath: Rp. 50-75.000.Discounts for longer
stays.
Bamboo River, 6 rooms w. bath, Rp. 75.000.

There is always a bed available on the plantation side of the river
at the parking lot. It is simple but inexpensive. There are a few
food stalls also available there.
