Bukit Lawang
Bukit Lawang is the heart of Sumatra’s eco-tourism, known worldwide as the gateway to Gunung Leuser National Park and the best place to see the endangered Sumatran orangutans in the wild. Just a few hours from Medan, this peaceful riverside village welcomes travelers with the sound of jungle wildlife, the flow of the Bahorok River, and the warm hospitality of local communities.
Here, you can join a certified guide on a Bukit Lawang jungle trek, ranging from half-day walks to multi-day expeditions deep into the rainforest. Trekking offers the chance to spot orangutans swinging through the canopy, along with Thomas Leaf Monkeys, gibbons, hornbills, and other rare wildlife. After a day of adventure, you can relax by the river, enjoy traditional Indonesian meals, or go tubing down the river with your friends.
Accommodation in Bukit Lawang is eco-friendly, from budget homestays to riverside lodges built with sustainability in mind. Travelers can also explore nearby attractions like Batu Katak caves, Landak River, Tangkahan Elephant Sanctuary, or even combine Bukit Lawang with other Sumatra tours such as Lake Toba and Berastagi.
