Bukit Lawang

As only one of two places in the entire world to see wild orangutangs in their natural habitat, jungle trekking in Sumatra is a must for those interested in adventure travel. Offering a range of services including airport pickup and transfer, accommodation on offer to suit all budgets, white water rafting, as well as 1 to 30 day jungle tours, the guys at Bukit Lawang Jungle have you covered. They are incredibly knowledgable having grown up in amongst the orangutangs, monkeys and various bird wildlife so you are almost guaranteed to find what you are looking for. Within 2 minutes on entering the national park I was greeted by orangutangs who have got used to tourists coming and going out of the park so you get a lot closer than you will imagine. Kind, helpful and accommodating people who I would thoroughly recommend. Thoroughly recommend the adventure with these guys! #urbanexplorer #happylaborday #maydaytrip #nationalpark

Bukit Lawang Jungle

To be able to see wild Sumatran Orangutans you need to visit Gunung Leuser National Park in Bukit Lawang in North Sumatra. As this tropical rainforest in Bukit Lawang is a Sumatran National Park you need to have a guide for entering and pay an entrance fee. There are only two places in the world where you can see wild orangutans. Here in Sumatran Rainforest and in Borneo. Do I need a guide for Sumatra Jungle trek? Yes, you need a guide. First, it would be really dangerous to go in alone and you would miss out on all the information and knowledge these guides have and will share them with you. Secondly, by hiring a guide and paying National Park entrance fees, you are supporting more than one local family as well as the Indonesian government. And by supporting the Indonesian government you are helping to make sure nobody will destroy the Bukit Lawang rainforest and the home of Sumatran Orangutans in order to grow Palm tree plantations for palm oil. With over 1 000 000 ha Sumatrans rain forest is being home to many endangered animals like the Sumatran Tiger, Rhinoceros, Elephant, and Sumatran Orangutans. When to go and see wild Orangutans? We went at the end of February and the weather was alright!:) Usually it rained only in the night and it wasn´t too hot to hike all day long. But mainly it was off the main season, so we rarely saw other people trekking and it made our experience even more connected with nature. How long does the jungle trek for? That totally depends on you! You can do as short as a few hours or you can spend more than one week in the jungle!:) Usually, people do 1 or 2 nights (2 -3 days) to be able to get a little deeper to the rainforest and see more of the wildlife. #sumatra #orangutans #couplestrip #awesomepic #unforgettableexperiences #travelinspiration #instagramworthydestinations
