Bukit Lawang where you get to explore wild animals, big trees, incredible jungle views, and relax back into nature is a small jungle tourist village destination. Situated approximately 86 km northwest of the city of Medan, North Sumatra province of Indonesia. Bukit Lawang is known for the largest animal sanctuary of Sumatran orangutans and also the main access point to the Mount Leuser National Park from the east side.


Mouth Leuser National Park where lovely tourists explore their time to ripe great advanture is fantastic place to visit in Sumatra. One of the most popular activity in Bukit Lawang is the Mount Leuser jungle trek which you can book with us.
Have you ever seen wild orangutan in the jungle? Come experience this breathtaking experience with us. Orangutans can jump short distances, often reaching up to 50 feet high, which help them escape predators; tigers, bears, and snakes.

The exciting and wonderful Bukit Lawang jungle trek will be tattooed in your head forever. Mingle with fellow lovely backpackers along your jungle trek. You will never have an adventure like this again in your entire life. I hope you are going to see absolute jungle paradise.

* Observe the critically endangered wild Sumatran Orangutan, monkeys, and birds in it’s natural habitat. Nothing lasts forever so let us photograph wonderful nature in case it is the last time you get to see this beautiful area.

* Walk up and down narrow trails; washing it all off in the unimaginably delicious cool water of a pure, fresh mountain stream & swim down Bahorok river.

* Eat local food in the jungle, sleep overnight in the middle of tropical rainforest & come back to your hotel by river jungle taxi.

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…

Rooms not as advertised. No dorms available and when we arrived - after all booking online the day of - We were told there were no rooms? It was very confusing. We ended up sharing double beds between our group. There was no Wifi and no Water at all for showers/toilet/sink. The owner messaged a few of us saying he didn't like one of the men in our group and gave out to us for not booking a tour with him and then gave out to the people we did book with. I felt very uncomfortable. Very rude man.

Amazing stay here, the staff really made the experience the best that it good be. We did the 3day trek and had an unforgettable time. Our guides were the best, had some good laughs and chats with them, and they helped us with everything, including transport around Bukit lawang, food recommendations, and he even fixed my broken flip flop. Thankyou :)))
