“Unveiling the Hidden Paradise: Bali & Beyond Travel Fair 2023 Takes You on the Mesmerizing Journey from Bali to North Sumatra’s Astonishing Lake Toba!”
Discover the Hidden Gem: Lake Toba, North Sumatra in Indonesia
Indonesia is home to some of the most breathtaking natural wonders in the world, and one of them is Lake Toba in North Sumatra. This extraordinary crater lake is a true marvel, with its sheer size and mesmerizing beauty. Spanning over 1,145 square km, Lake Toba is even larger than the country of Singapore. Not only that, it is also one of the deepest lakes in the world, with a remarkable depth of 450 meters.
Situated in the heart of Lake Toba is the captivating Samosir island, providing visitors with a panoramic view of the stunning blue lake. This volcanic island is not only known for its natural splendor, but also for its traditional village that is protected by earth ramparts and bamboo fencing. The village is home to unique and authentic traditional houses, particularly in Tomok. These impressive wooden houses feature striking saddle-shaped thatch roofs made of sugar palm fiber, known as ijuk.
The Batak tribe, the native population of the area, adds to the cultural richness of Lake Toba. They are renowned for their vibrant and festive culture, with the Tor-Tor Dance being one of their most elegant and symbolic traditions. This traditional dance is often performed during joyous occasions such as harvest time or wedding ceremonies. It is believed to invoke spirits and bring them into stone statues, which serve as symbols of their ancestors.
Recognizing the immense potential and appeal of Lake Toba, the Bali & Beyond Travel Fair (BBTF) has included it as one of the priority destinations to showcase its beauty and charm. BBTF is Indonesia’s leading trade fair, dedicated to promoting tourism and fostering partnerships within the industry.
