We are interested in visiting Nias as tourists next February and this website seems up to date, could you tell us if the infrastructure is ok for Langundri bay area and what accommodation is available…Thanks Leslie
Early this year I went to Telukdalam but I did not go to Lagundri, which is not far away. The road condition from Gunungsitoli to Telukdalam was quite OK, and should be much better now; it was under improvement during that time. Be prepared for warm and humid climate.
