Laut Tawar Lake is located in Aceh Tengah. Takengon, the
capital of the region, lies on the west side of this lake,
1,120 meters above sea level, with an average temperature
of 20 degree celcius.
The town is quite cool and is a growing holiday resort.
The scenery is lovely and the lake can be used for water
sports, such as skiing. You can tour around the lake by
motor boat or other water transportation.
There are caves around the lake slopes off the mountain
and the mountain itself is suitable for climbing. A number
of hotels are being built to encourage a rapidly increasing
tourist trade.
