Welcome to Sumatra Orangutan Hiking

Trek deeper, connect wilder, leave inspired.

Gunung Leuser National Park

At the heart of Gunung Leuser National Park, in the Bukit Lawang area, lies a remarkable tropical landscape home to a rich variety of rare wildlife.

One of the area's greatest draws is the Sumatran orangutan, living freely in its natural habitat. Watching orangutans move through the canopy is a moment that inspires awe and a renewed sense of why nature must be protected. Beyond orangutans, the forest shelters siamangs, long-tailed macaques, exotic birds, and rare flora found only in Indonesia's tropical rainforests.

Community & conservation

Bukit Lawang offers a range of nature-based activities — from forest trekking and river tubing to camping and wildlife conservation education. These experiences give visitors a genuine sense of adventure while providing a vital source of income for the local community.

Local residents work as tour guides, forest rangers, lodge managers, and small-business owners, all contributing to environmental conservation and the protection of wildlife.
