Trekking in Bukit Lawang
Since the late 1970's tourists have been visiting Bukit Lawang to fulfil their dreams of witnessing one of our oldest cousins, the orangutan, in the wild. However, many are unaware the Gunung Leuser National Park (TNGL) is actually the very last place on earth where orangutans, elephants, tigers and rhino's co-exist together in the wild. Our Gunung Leuser National Park treks range from 3 hours- 7 days, allowing every member of the family, and all levels of fitnesses to enjoy this ancient and unique ecosystem.
