ABOUT US
See Orangutans in Their Natural Habitat
Bukit Lawang is a small riverside village beside Gunung Leuser National Park. Its location makes it one of the most popular starting points for orangutan trekking in Sumatra.
Along the trail, you may see orangutans, gibbons, monkeys, hornbills, and other rainforest wildlife. Each route is led by a local guide who will also explain the plants, animals, and ecosystem around you.
Trips are available for different schedules and fitness levels, from a few hours in the forest to several days of trekking and camping.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a Bukit Lawang orangutan tour cost?
Tour prices depend on the trekking duration, group size, route, and package inclusions. Open the package you are interested in or send us your preferred date and number of guests for the latest price.
Which jungle trekking package should I choose?
Choose the 3-hour trek if you have limited time. The 1-day trek offers a longer forest visit, while multi-day packages are better for travellers who want jungle camping and more time on the trail.
Is seeing an orangutan guaranteed?
No. Orangutans and other animals move freely inside the national park, so sightings cannot be guaranteed. Your guide will look for signs of wildlife while keeping a safe and respectful distance.
How do I book a Bukit Lawang jungle trek?
Choose a tour and click More Information. Complete the booking form with your preferred date and group details, then continue to WhatsApp. Our team will check availability before sending payment and confirmation details.

You can travel from Medan or Kualanamu International Airport by private or shared transport. A private journey usually takes around three to four hours, depending on traffic, weather, and your pickup location.
Is jungle trekking suitable for children or beginners?
Some shorter routes may suit children and first-time trekkers, depending on age, fitness, weather, and trail conditions. Contact us before booking so the team can recommend an appropriate route.
What should I bring for jungle trekking?
Bring comfortable shoes with good grip, lightweight clothing, long trousers, rain protection, insect repellent, drinking water, and a small backpack. Overnight treks require additional clothing and personal items.
