"LAKE TOBA, North Sumatra." Indonesia Things to Do Tip by Perucha

Indonesia Things to Do: 474 reviews and 874 photos

 
 

Formed by a stupendous prehistoric volcanic explosion, the 100 km long lake is the largest in Southeast Asia and one of the deepest and highest in the world. The drama of that cataclysmic birth persists in 500 meter cliffs dropping into the blue-green waters. Surrounded by steep, pinecovered slopes, the climate is fresh and pleasant.

Directions: 3 hours by good road from Medan - capital city of North Sumatra.

Review Helpfulness: 1.5 out of 5 stars
