Bagging It!

This Ribu is the highest point on the volcanic island of Samosir, which lies within the vast Toba caldera complex – a landscape formed 74,000 years ago by the largest volcanic explosion in the history of the world. It was so enormous that it is thought that the eruptions nearly wiped out all human life on the planet. Lake Toba is Earth’s largest volcanic lake, measuring a staggering 100 kilometres by 30 kilometres.

The whole Toba area is one of Indonesia’s most visited places, so getting to/from Samosir from Sumatra’s capital, Medan, is straightforward. There is also an abundance of accommodation.
