the charm of warm snow in North Sumatra, Indonesia

 

hot snow? Don't get confused yet. This is a snow white crater or better known as Kawah Putih. If on the island of Java there is the white crater of Ciwidey, then on the island of Sumatra there is the white crater of Raja Tinggi, which is not without interest. This place is like a lake. In the center was a blue-green hot water emitting smoke. Very good. The white expanse that covered the ground in this area was like burnt ash. Meanwhile, the white color around the crater appears protected from hot water, with a limestone cliff in the middle. Similar to ice cream. So one might think that the dominance of white is a patch of snow when looking through an image. Limestone rocks that look like large eggs lying on one of the crater rims look very elegant.

Hot water will also run over anything that emits smoke. It looks like a pool water decoration in a luxury house. That mouth never ceases to amaze. This white crater not owned by Ciwidey White Crater has many oddities. Like the flow of river water mixed with hot water. But this water mixture does not feel hot. Many visitors bathe here. This river is not far from the white crater. This rare tourist object is located in Dolok Tinggi Raja village, Silau Kahean district, Simalungun regency, North Sumatra. Tourists often know this place as the White High Raja crater. To get here it takes 3 hours drive from Medan. From Medan it will pass through Lubuk Pakam, Dolok Masihul, Galang and Bangun Purba. Be prepared for a rocky dirt road as you approach the 10 kilometer long white crater area. However, this place remains crowded especially on national holidays.
