Medan Lake Toba Day Trip

Medan Lake Toba Day Trip

Lake Toba Day trips from Medan Not only is it the largest natural lake in Medan, but, it holds great cultural importance in Indonesia, particularly to the indigenous Sumatra communities who bestowed the lake its name. Nowadays, the lake sits quietly, ensconced on Sumatra island between the rainforests and National Park. However, this Medan to Lake Toba day tour will make it the perfect choice for those looking to go on the road less traveled. Lake Toba Location This lake is located in the middle of the northern island of Sumatra. Lake Toba is the largest lake in Indonesia and the largest volcanic lake in the world. Island: Samosir Island Area: 1,130 km² Province: North Sumatra Main outflow: Asahan River Surface area: 1,130 km2 (440 sq mi) Water type: Volcanic/tectonic How to Get To Lake Toba (Medan) From this day tour package, it will take around 5 hours from Medan to drive to the viewpoint (Lake Toba & Samosir Island). During our journey to Lake Toba, the road will be gravel or in good condition. Road conditions like this one can change throughout the year because of heavy rains and lack of maintenance. What is There to Do at Medan Lake Toba Day Trip? You will see another unique thing that you can find in the Lake Toba area is a human-sized wooden doll called Sigale-gale. Sigale-gale is known for its mysticism and myths, you know! Local people believe that the Sigale-gale doll can dance and wail on its own without being accompanied by music. Some of them also said that the Sigale-gale doll could only be placed in a chest.
