How to get to Bukit Lawang (Airport)
The most convenient way to get to Bukit Lawang is with a taxi from Medan Airport. Even with the comfort of spacious leather seats and air-conditioning, the trip can be a long one. It takes about three and half hours and the road is bumpy and winding. Making the trip in this fashion will set you back around.
If you’re keen on saving a good chunk of change and are up for a bit of adventure, then read the following instructions carefully. Airport to Medan or Airport to Binjai.
If you are coming from the airport, you need to take DAMRI (Airport public bus) to Medan then city minibus to Pinang Baris to Bukit Lawang . If you take bus ALS to Binjai, you should ask your driver to drop you off Tanah Lapang, from here you need to hop on a public coach minibus (PS/ALMASAR) to Bukit Lawang and the fare is one way.
There's also an express shared car 🚗 you can also book transportation to Bukit Lawang, there're still any seats left.
Enjoy on holiday immensely with your beloved family, friends or solo. If I guide you through the Mount Leuser jungle trek get ready for lots of walking, observing, swimming, and singing all together…
