Jungle Treks

Orangutan trek Bukit Lawang

Bukit Lawang is one of the world’s premier destinations for an authentic orangutan trek. Located inside Gunung Leuser National Park, this area offers a rare chance to observe wild Sumatran orangutans in their natural jungle environment.

What makes the orangutan trek so special?

Unlike zoos or animal parks, our orangutan treks take you deep into the rainforest where orangutans live freely. These intelligent and gentle apes are critically endangered, and Bukit Lawang is one of the few places where conservation efforts have helped their population recover.
During the trek, our expert local guides will lead you through the dense jungle, pointing out orangutans as they swing between the trees, forage for food, or rest in nests high above the forest floor. You’ll learn about their behavior, diet, and the challenges they face due to habitat loss.

A truly unforgettable wildlife experience

Imagine the thrill of spotting an orangutan mother and her baby just a few meters away, surrounded by the sounds of the jungle. The excitement of seeing these magnificent creatures in their natural setting is something you will remember forever. Our treks are designed to offer the best chance of sightings while keeping the experience intimate and personal.

Beyond orangutans: a biodiversity hotspot

While orangutans are the main attraction, the jungle around Bukit Lawang is home to many other fascinating species such as gibbons, macaques, hornbills, and colorful butterflies. You’ll also hike past rivers, waterfalls, and dense tropical vegetation, making the trek a complete nature adventure.

Choose your trek length

Options range from short half-day treks perfect for families or those with limited time, to longer 2-day or multi-day treks that give you the chance to explore remote jungle areas and increase your chances of spotting wildlife.
