SUMATRA ORANG UTAN TRIP

Discover the wild Sumatran jungle with respect

We guide trekkers through the rainforest at the edge of Gunung Leuser National Park, with a love for the forest and the wildlife that lives in it.

Our groups stay small, we follow the park rules, and we keep the jungle clean so the forest and the village both benefit from your visit.

Good for nature, fair for people.

Adventure awaits: wild, honest and unforgettable

Bukit Lawang is a small riverside village at the entrance of Gunung Leuser National Park, one of the richest rainforests in Southeast Asia.

The park is home to the Sumatran orangutan, gibbons, hornbills and many other species, and it is one of the few places where you can see orangutans in the wild.

Trekking here is an experience you will remember for a long time.
