Pulo Raya is one of the villages for the outermost island in Aceh, precisely in Sampoiniet, Aceh Jaya Regency, Aceh, which is located in the Indian Ocean and borders the Indian state geographically at coordinates 4°52'25.2"N 95°22'45.9"E.
The island was once inhabited, but due to the earthquake and tsunami in 2004, many residents died and some survivors chose to leave the island.

To reach Pulo Raya island, I was with my family and accompanied by a good friend 
During the reign of the Dutch East Indies in Aceh, the island was used as a place to collect Aceh's west coast commodities.
I quote several documents relating to Pulo Raya (Poelau Raja) from Digital Collections, Leiden University Libraries.

When we visited there, some relief houses began to be rebuilt, but most of the original inhabitants were reluctant to return for various reasons.
Here are some compilation photos of me who visited there some time ago.
