Come with us into one of the world´s last remaining jungle paradises

Indonesia is home to one of the most important forests and biodiversity in the world. Matchless, the Leuser Ecosystem stretches at the core of the vast rainforest of Indonesians island Sumatra. Up to 10.000 feet tall the forest-covered mountains safeguard its inhabitants like a fortress.

The rainforest of Gunung Leuser National Park shelters some of the most endangered species on Earth. With countless plants and animals it remains the last stronghold of four of the planets most threatened species: The elusive Sumatran tiger, the world’s smallest rhinos, forest elephants and one of the smartest great apes in the world – the orangutans.

In Indonesian, “orangutan” means “person of the forest”.  Apart from Borneo, Sumatra is the last remaining habitat for orangutans anywhere on Earth. An idyllic place called Bukit Lawang is the gateway to that tropical paradise. Thanks to ecotourism, a significant part of this Indonesian rainforest is being preserved.

Have you always wanted to explore the rainforest and see Orangutans in the wild? Then join us on our trekking adventures in this most unique of wild spaces!

The island kingdom of Indonesia houses a tropical mountain rainforest, active volcanoes amid spectacular mountain landscapes, fantastic beaches and one of the most diverse animal and plant worlds. Especially the island of Sumatra is a dream destination for nature-loving vacationers as well as for those who are interested in the traditional culture of Indonesia. Sumatra is one of the most diverse islands in Southeast Asia. You could spend years of discovering all its secrets…

Find the answers to all your questions

The mountainous National Park stretches in the north of Indonesian’s island Sumatra. Besides Borneo, it’s the last remaining place on earth where you can find Orangutans and Sumatran Tigers living in the wild . With thousands of species and plants, it is one of the most biodiverse rainforests in the world .

Rhinos, Tigers, Forest Elephants and Orangutans were once found together throughout Southeast Asia. But deforestation and poaching mean that Gunung Leuser National Park is now the only place in the world where they still coexist. Main reason for this is the  problematic cultivation of oil palms .

Will we make something so precious disappear forever, or take our last chance and protect it for our children and grandchildren?  Help us to have a positive impact on our most important ecosystem ∼ the rainforest ∼ and take part in our ecological tourism! 

Explore our jungle treks here .

Yes there are! 

Besides Borneo (Kalimantan), Sumatra is the last remaining habitat of our close relatives . There are different species of the compelling apes, like the Borneo Orangutan who found its habitat on the ground as there are no tigers left anymore on the island, or the Sumatran Orangutan who can be found swinging in the trees of Gunung Leuser National Park, behind Bukit Lawang.

Until 2015 there was a feeding platform at the entrance of the National Park to help orangutans, who lived in captivity, finding back into their natural habitat. These Orangutans are now the famous Semiwilds of Bukit Lawang . As they are used to humans, you might find them on nearly every jungle trek and watch their human likeness at close range. Some of these special semiwild orangutans have even had offspring since they were released into the wild. 

You are more interested in seeing  wild orangutans ? The chances to spot wild exemplars are quite good on our longer treks (two to four days) , as they use to live in the deeper forest. Sometimes they even come close to the borders of the national park, so if you’re lucky you can even see them on a one-day trek. But anyways they will keep their distance with us as they are more bashful than the semiwilds. 

If you would like to know more about the Sumatran Orangutans, Bukit Lawang and the rainforest of Southeast Asia, read more here or come to visit us in  the Indonesian rainforest!

All our jungle treks will lead into the mountains of Gunung Leuser National Park. Therefore, you need some basic fitness condition and healthy knees on all our treks. Our day tours are quite easy to walk, but for our 2-days trek (or more days) you should be in a good health condition and used to some exercises.

Don’t worry – your Jungle Guide will always be aware of your fitness & health condition and can choose a different trekking route through the National Park depending on your wishes.

Our youngest guest was just one year old, while our oldest guest past the 80s – all of them came back in full health and enjoyed their time in the jungle 😉

Are you confused what to bring on your jungle trek? Check out our packing list and trekking shoe recommendation ! Almost anything else that you might need is available in Bukit Lawang or the surrounding villages. 

We recommend staying at least 4 to 5 days in Bukit Lawang. Like that you will have enough time to join one of our unforgettable overnight jungle treks and to do some more activities in the beautiful surrounding of Bukit Lawang, like exploring waterfalls and the world’s biggest flowers. However, it’s always worth to stay longer!

If you are on a tight schedule, we would recommend you one of our day tours into the Gunung Leuser National Park and short trips around Bukit Lawang, like exploring the mystery Bat Cave or visiting the traditional Friday Market.

Do you plan your next stop in Tangkahan, Berastagi or Lake Toba? We are happy to arrange your transportation, maybe even in combination with one of our memorable activities like staying in the wooden treehouses of Rumah Pohon?

Directly in Bukit Lawang there is no ATM. Also, paying by card is not very commen and mostly not possible. So you will need some cash money in Bukit Lawang, especially if you didn’t book any tours in advance.

But don’t worry: The nearest ATM is a 20-minute walk or 5-minute tuk-tuk ride away from the centre of Bukit Lawang – in the Indomaret of Gotong Royong. Just ask the next local person who you meet on your way and he or she will be happy to show you the way.

If you travel in high season, we definitely recommend you to book your jungle trek or other activities in advance as many tourists will be in Bukit Lawang.

Anyways, for us it’s always helpful to plan the schedules of our jungle guides. You are not yet sure about your travel dates? We can always handle your booking flexibly – just let us know your rough plan.

If you want to come to Bukit Lawang without any booking, that is possible of course. There will be plenty of “guides” waiting for you at the bus station. Just be careful that you don’t join the first who comes along as some of them are no experienced or licensed guides.

If your travel plans in Indonesia contain a maximum of 30 days, you will automatically get a FREE tourist visa upon arrival at the airport! In any other case you will need a visa.

Check out Indonesians entrance and visa rules here .

We recommend vaccination against rabies. However, this is not mandatory! If you are bitten by an animal (regardless of whether you have a vaccination or not), you can get a rabies shot directly at the Bukit Lawang infirmary.

We recommend you to procure a travel and health insurance for your entire trip in case something happens. Hospital and doctor bills can be very high in Indonesia…

There is a small medical station and a pharmacy nearby Bukit Lawang. Anyways, in some cases it could be better to visit a hospital in Medan. So better be safe with an insurance!

Travel insurance is within the personal responsibility of each traveller and should cover injuries, accidents and the loss of personal belongings.

SUMATRA ORANGUTAN IN BUKIT LAWANG - JUNGLE TREKKING TIPS - SUMATRA TRAVEL TIPS - SUMATRA ECOTRAVEL

Tour description

DAY 1: At 8:30 am our English speaking guides will pick you up at your guesthouse. After a short walk you will cross the Bohorok River and enter the Sumatran rainforest. While hiking up and down the hills heading to the west side of the national park your guide will point out different creatures and plants species to you while giving lots of explanation about the rainforest and its biodiversity. If you are lucky many gibbons, Thomas leaf monkeys, longtail and pigtail macaques, flying squirrels, Sumatran peacocks, hornbills and even wild orangutans might cross your way.  In the afternoon, around 3:30 pm, you will arrive at the little Jambur Batu River next to a big waterfall where you will stay overnight at your campsite. Now you can swim and relax and enjoy your afternoon coffee and tea. Our team will prepare your jungle dinner of local Indonesian food over an open campfire. In the evening, you have the opportunity of playing games, singing by the fire or just looking at the stars and reviewing the first day of your trek. Tents, mattress, pillows and sleeping bags will make your jungle night comfortable.

DAY 2: Waking up to the sound of monkeys, birds and insects the next morning is a memorable experience. After breakfast you set off for a 5-hour-trek. While entering deeper into the rainforest your chances of encountering wildlife will increase. For lunch your guides will prepare a simple jungle meal on the top of a hill. Fantastic scenery along the way through the national park will be a memorable experience in the afternoon. Our team will lay out the camp site for the second night next to the big Bohorok River and pamper you with another delicious Indonesian dinner and refreshments. Enjoy the evening at your jungle camp by playing cards or singing around the campfire with your guides. Being in the jungle at night time is a completely contrasting experience; there are different animals, different sounds and of course a sky full of stars.

DAY 3: In the morning you will wake up again to the sounds of the jungle. If you are lucky you can observe the Sumatran monitor lizards, tortoises and colourful river butterflies around the campsite. After a good breakfast you have the opportunity to trek again for 3 hours or just relax at an amazing waterfall next to the campsite. Lunch and jungle fruit salad will be served before you will travel back to the village in an hour full of fun! Your “jungle taxi” with your personal captain will bring you back to your guesthouse by traditional tube-rafting down the Bohorok River – a very special and exciting way to finish your trekking adventure through the Sumatran jungle.

The sumatran Orangutan 

Say hi to Suma - one of the last 6.000 Sumatran Orangutans

She grew up in the former rehabilitation center that was opened from 1973 until 1991. That's why she is classified as a semi-wild Orangutan and as well the reason why she likes to come to one of the jungle camps to watch humans. We absolutely love her.

Maybe you already know that you can see wild & semi-wild Orangutans in Bukit Lawang. We want to make sure that you know upfront what you can expect.

Learn more about the story behind Bukit Lawang, semi-wild orangutans and what is important for the future on a trekking with us.

Please note that we don't make any exceptions if wild or semi-wild Orangutan, we do NOT feed any of them. The only reason that hopefully does never happen could be that we worry about your safety when a semi-wild orangutan grabs you and doesn't let you go. Please always listen to your guide so we can avoid this occasion.

Roundtrips through Sumatra: The island

Sumatra is an island that belongs to Indonesia. With an area of ​​approximately 473 km², Sumatra is also the sixth largest island in the world. About 50 million people live on the island. The economic situation of the island should not be disregarded. About 70% of the island contributes to the income of Indonesia. Rich is the island mainly of oil. Nonetheless, in addition to oil reserves, mining plays an important role as well. The gold, tin, coal and bauxite are particularly promoted. Of great importance, however, are products that come from agriculture. The island nation is a well-known producer of pepper, palm oil, rubber, tobacco and coffee. Thus, the island state of Sumatra is in second place to Malaysia as an agricultural producer.

Attractions

A Sumatra trip offers its tourists a lot of interesting sights. Below are the top 5 attractions that you should definitely visit when touring Sumatra:

  • Toba Lake: Lake Toba is an absolute natural spectacle on Sumatra. The lake is also the largest crater lake in the world. It was caused by an eruption of the volcano Toba. The natural spectacle is a real attraction for every tourist on Sumatra. The island of Somosir originated about 75,000 years ago and is located in the middle of Lake Toba . The island is rich in culture and offers a beautiful view of nature.
  • Sipisopiso Waterfall: The approximately 120-meter-long waterfall offers a view of Lake Toba from the upper end.
  • Bukit Lawang: Here you can look forward to free-living orangutans, which you can experience up close at Jungle Trekking.
  • Medan: Medan is the capital of Sumatra and has as many attractions to offer. In the city you can see the breathtaking Maimonn Sultan’s Palace, where the Sultan still lives today, as well as the Chinese temple Vihara Gunung Timur.
  • Berastagi: Berastagi is a mountain resort that offers a beautiful view of the volcanoes Sinabung and Siayak. Both volcanoes can be climbed.

jungle tour sumatra

If you want to spend your holiday in Sumatra, it is important to know what the weather conditions are like on the island. The island state has a tropical climate. Through a sea breeze, the heat can be mitigated. On average, the annual temperature is about 27° C. However, this can change quite a bit by region, especially in coastal areas. The average temperature is between 24° C and 35° C. From October to April the main rainy season is on the island state.

The traffic situation on Sumatra is a bit hectic compared to Europe. There are local buses, but they do not depart on a fixed schedule. In addition, there are tourist buses (shared cars with private driver), which connect the bigger tourist places. It is also possible to take a private driver for one or more days on Sumatra, mainly because of the unpredictable driving of the population of Sumatra.

Visas for the holidays in Sumatra

Tourists basically receive a visa for a maximum of 30 days. However, entry and exit must be via an international sea or airport. If you are planning your holiday in Sumatra for more than 30 days, then a Visa on Arrival (VoA) is required. The extension comes with a fee to be paid to the immigration office. The application for the extended visa should be made at least one week before expiry. More info on the visa

The food in Sumatra

On Sumatra food specialties play an important role. When you travel to Sumatra, you will soon realize that the population eats spicy food. Chili is the most popular spice on the island nation. The main foods of the population are still fish and rice. Nevertheless, there are some drinks that are traditional on the island nation. Tuak is a juice that comes from the flower of the sugar palm. The Tuak is drunk from the bamboo pipes. Arrak is an alcoholic beverage made from Tuak. Read also: Sumatra for foodies
