you not visiting Lake Toba.Toba Lake is one the biggest lake in South East
Asia, it has a very nice scenery and
very beautiful. Lake Toba (Indonesian: Danau Toba) is a lake and supervolcano.
The lake is 100 kilometres long, 30 kilometres wide, and up to 505 metres
(1,666 ft) deep. Located in the middle of the northern part of the Indonesian
island of Sumatra with a surface elevation of about 900 metres (2,953 ft), the
lake stretches from 2.88°N 98.52°E to 2.35°N 99.1°E. It is the largest lake in
Indonesia and the largest volcanic lake in the world.
Lake Toba is an immense volcanic lake covering an area of
1,707 sq km (1,000 sq km bigger than Singapore) with an island in the center.
Formed by a gigantic volcanic eruption some 70,000 years ago, it is probably
the largest resurgent caldera on Earth. Some studies say it might have been
associated with causing previous ice age/climate change and the largest human
population bottleneck ever. Genetic estimates suggests that there were only a
few thousand individuals that survived the catastrophe. The island in the
middle - Pulau Samosir - was joined to the caldera wall by a narrow isthmus,
which was cut through to enable boats to pass; a road bridge crosses the
cutting. Samosir island is the cultural centre of Batak tribe who are mostly
Christians in the modern days.
Lake Toba was perhaps once more popular than it is nowadays,
but for many it remains a firm fixture on the Banana Pancake Trail. It is a
great laid back place to chill out for a few days after jungle trekking etc.
The location is very popular with Chinese tourists around Chinese New Year,
when availability drops dramatically and accommodation costs sky rocket
