Jungle Trek Bukit Lawang

Bukit Lawang is your ultimate destination if you want to experience a true jungle trek in Bukit Lawang with the chance to see wild orangutans in their natural habitat. Nestled on the edge of the Gunung Leuser National Park in Sumatra, this small village is famous worldwide for offering incredible trekking adventures where wildlife encounters are the highlight.

Why is Bukit Lawang the best place for a jungle trek with orangutans?

Unlike many places where orangutans live deep and are hard to spot, Bukit Lawang offers a unique opportunity to observe wild orangutans up close. These gentle giants roam freely within the protected national park, and expert guides know exactly where to find them without disturbing their natural behavior.

The unforgettable orangutan encounter

Imagine hiking through thick jungle trails, hearing the calls of tropical birds and monkeys, when suddenly you spot a mother orangutan gently swinging between the trees with her baby clinging to her fur. These moments are magical and rare, a chance to witness one of the world’s most endangered species thriving in the wild.

Our jungle treks are designed to maximize your chances of seeing orangutans while respecting their space. We follow strict rules: no feeding, no loud noises, and always keeping a safe distance. This approach ensures that your experience is both responsible and memorable.

More than just orangutans

Besides orangutans, the jungle around Bukit Lawang is teeming with other wildlife like Thomas leaf monkeys, gibbons, exotic birds, and butterflies. The lush rainforest scenery includes waterfalls, rivers, and panoramic viewpoints that make the trek a complete adventure.

Trekking options to suit your schedule

You can choose from short treks lasting a few hours or multi-day expeditions that take you deeper into the jungle. Overnight treks offer a chance to hear the jungle come alive at night and increase your chances of spotting nocturnal animals.
