Bukit Lawang Jungle Trek

In northern Sumatra, Bukit Lawang is a gateway to the rainforest of Gunung Leuser National Park, home to wild orangutans. Treks range from a few hours to several days, taking you through dense tropical vegetation with chances to spot wildlife. Longer trips include nights at basic jungle camps. It's a physically demanding but memorable way to experience a different side of Indonesia.
