Welcome to Lake Toba!
A trip to North Sumatra, or Indonesia for that
matter, would not be complete without a visit to the beautiful and
world’s largest volcanic lake – Lake Toba.
Lake Toba is 100 kilometres long and 30 kilometres wide, and 505
metres at its deepest level. Lake Toba formed in a volcanic eruption
around 75,000 years ago and was the largest in 25 million years. The
volcanic blast was so large it deposited ash up to 15 cm all over India
and up to 9 meters in Malaysia. Most of the plant and animal life
across Asia was wiped out in the explosion.
Lakte Toba is a beautiful and unique place to visit in Indonesia. It
is just a few hours drive from Indonesia’s third largest city Medan.
Medan has flights from Kuala Lumpur,...
