Lake Toba

Lake Toba is one of the marvelous natural wonders of the world. This is a huge crater lake that has an island almost the size of Singapore in the center. Spans more than 1,145 square kilometers, and a depth of 450 meters, Lake Toba is actually more like an ocean. It is the largest lake in Southeast Asia and one of the deepest lakes in the world.

Toba is a place to come and sit back, relax and soak up some beautiful unspoilt scenery. As you sit and take in the beautiful mountain scenery that clings to a clear clear lake, you will feel the worries of a thawing world. As the lake lies 900 meters above sea level with a cool climate here makes a refreshing break from the heat, humidity and pollution of the city.

It's hard to imagine a more beautiful place to come and enjoy hiking, swimming and sailing although once you arrive it might be hard to resist the anesthetizing effect of the lake. Cold clear water coupled with a relaxed atmosphere and friendly people is an interesting thing for visitors from all over the world to Toba.
