LAKE TOBA Highlights - Giant Jesus Statue and Teletubby Hills!
Vložit

- As the largest volcanic lake on the planet, Lake Toba is a pretty special spot in North Sumatra. But other than the incredible, expansive lake itself, there are some awesome sights to see around Samosir Island and the lake area.
In this video, we take you to visit some of Lake Toba's Highlights! We head to the site of what's said to be the largest Jesus statue in the world, at Bukit Sibea-bea.
Under construction since 2018, this towering statue is around 61 metres (200 feet) tall - almost twice as high as Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro.
We also go for a wander at Bukit Holbung - the vibrant, picturesque hills that have been affectionately labeled "Teletubby Hills" due to their resemblance to the scenery in Teletubby land.
This area to the southwest of Lake Toba has some of the most beautiful landscapes and views in the region. The roads are in great condition and there are few better places to go for a scooter day trip.
So come with us, enjoy the scenery, and experience some of the best Lake Toba highlights in the comfort of your own home.

Hi, I'm Agung, I live in Lake Toba, Sumatra (Indonesia) with my wife Carly. I was born in Sumatra, so love sharing all my local knowledge with visitors. Carly has been a traveller to Sumatra since 2009, and has been living here the last few years. We now live in Tuktuk village on Samosir Island in Lake Toba, North Sumatra. Together, we create content to help share the beauty of incredible Sumatra with the world.
Horas, Mejuah juah - see you in Sumatra!

Thanks for watching guys😊
Thanks for the awesome video! ❤
Auki! 😍😍😍
Awesome! Breathtaking scenery, lovely views. Stay healthy guys!
Thank you! So nice to be able to share this gorgeous place with you guys. Take care. ☺
Huge thanks to our lovely friend Trudy for joining us on our adventures! Carly hasn't been well so has had to sit out the last few, but we'll be back with some more Agung and Carly content in the coming weeks. Keep your eye out for our epic upcoming jungle adventure!
Such a beautiful place there with all the green hills. The drone gives such great perspective. Thanks Agung! Hope you are feeling better soon Carly. 🌞
Thanks you two! So nice to see a bit more of the area - we know there is SO much more to discover still! Happy that Agung is getting out and about to explore, and it's nice for me (Carly) to be able to see it even if not in person just yet. ☺🙏☺
Thank you. That Jesus statue looked good in the drone shots.
So nice having the little drone - gives a gorgeous different perspective on the places we visit, even if it does meltdown at a puff of wind haha. 😀
MANTAP!
went there earlier this year for 2 weeks solo bike ride. amazing place to explore. I remember I saw you two Agung and Carly doing vlog with motorcycle around tuktuk! hope to come back there again in the future
Hey! Wow 2 weeks solo in this spot would be incredible. Absolutely the best way to see everything and get an authentic experience. That's so funny that you saw us out doing our vlogs! Hope you can make it back for more adventures sometime. 😀
This is so nice to see wonderful Lake Toba, I will be there in a week and I love to see this up-to-date view of what it will be like.
Keep up the good work.
Hi! How awesome that you'll be here next week! Hopefully our videos have made you even more excited to visit. It really is even more spectacular than the videos can show. Definitely hire a scooter if you're comfortable with that and just go where the road takes you. Have an amazing trip - and say hi if you see us around Tuk Tuk! ☺
Amaizing place cant wait to know. Hope you are ok guys blessings ❤
It is soooo beautiful here for sure! Happy to be able to show you around until you can come and see it for yourself one day. Thanks for watching. 😀
Just back from lake Toba and think I saw you in a really nice restaurant run by a lovely lady called Heddy 😊
Hello! Ahhh that's so cool! Heddy lives right near to us and is an excellent cook, so we often pop in there for lunch or dinner! So happy to hear that you visited Lake Toba - hope you had an amazing time here (hard not to really isn't it!)😀
It does seem strange to see that HUGE Jesus in Sumatra - are there many Christians? Congrats in making it to the top of the hills Trudy 😆 looked like hard work - I think Agung was puffing too ⛰🌄 The green parts of Toba often look like NZ. Another nice ride thank you 🌻🤟xx
Bit of a mixed bag in North Sumatra - Lake Toba in particular is predominately Christian, but generally people are really tolerant of one another regardless. 😊
I.miss D Toba❤ 20 tahun lebih gak kesini guys...enjoyyyyy 🎉🎉🎉😊
Ohhhh sudah lama tidak kw sini ya! Mungkin bisa ikut 2024? 😊
Feel better, Carly.
Terima kasih Liz ☺
Thank U for Handsome guide, what is your surname
