Danau Toba, a popular Indonesian tourist destination 
An incredible natural wonder of the globe is Lake Toba. An island about the size of Singapore sits in the middle of this gigantic crater lake. Lake Toba resembles an ocean more than a lake because of its 1,145 square kilometers and 450 meters in depth. One of the world's deepest lakes, this one is also the largest lake in Southeast Asia.
Toba is a place to unwind, take in the stunning surroundings, and take it all in. Your problems will go as you sit and take in the scene of the picturesque mountains contrasted with the refreshingly clear lake. The lake's elevation of 900 meters above sea level results in a milder temperature that provides a welcome respite from the heat, humidity, and pollution of the city.
Medan is a global entry point for Air. There are numerous daily flights from the Kualanamu Airport in Medan to all of the major Indonesian cities, as well as international flights from Medan to Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand.

Attraction
You can take advantage of Lake Toba's spectacular natural beauties in a variety of ways. Kayaking at Lake Toba, according to many, is an experience of a lifetime. Typically, you can paddle a kayak along one of three routes: Tongging - Silalahi (12 km; easy); Tongging - Samosir (50 km; medium); or Northern Circle (175 km - Demanding). By glamping (fancy camping) on The Kaldera Nomadic Getaway, you may also enjoy the refreshing breeze from the area around the lake. Toba Samosir Regency's Sibisa, Ajibata Sub-district is where you may get close to nature without having to deal with the usual difficulties of traditional camping. Also, you can enjoy its opulent amenities, which include bubble tents, eco pods, tents in the bohemian style, and an amphitheater with a stage.
Two ethnic groups, the Tomok and Simanindo, are also found around Lake Toba. The traditional town is shielded by clay fortifications with bamboo fence and trees and is situated on the island of Samosir. The hamlet also contains a large number of distinctive and genuine traditional homes, particularly from Tomok, which is made up of a row of large wooden homes with eye-catching saddle-shaped thatch roofs made of sugar palm fiber (called ijuk).
The Batak tribe is well recognized for its merry traditions. Tor-Tor Dancing is regarded as the most exquisite of the bunch. Often, this ancient dance is presented on festive occasions like harvest or wedding ceremonies. The Tor-Tor Dance, however, is reportedly utilized in a ritual to summon spirits and 'walk' them into the stone statues that were built as a reminder of the ancestors.
On Samosir Island, there is a wooden puppet named Sigale-gale that has drawn visitors because of the supernatural significance of the legend and belief that surrounds it. The inhabitants thought that Sigale-gale could sing and dance on its own without any music. Furthermore, some claimed that Sigale-gale could only be interred in a coffin. Because locals in the Samosir region think that the Sigale-gale dance transports the spirit of the deceased to the afterlife, this statue is frequently used in family funeral rituals.
