Lost in the depths of Sumatra, Bukit Lawang is a small riverside town built beside the rainforest of the vast Gunung Leuser National Park. Home to the orangutan, one of the most endangered species in the world, found only in Sumatra and Kalimantan, Bukit Lawang (‘gateway to the mountain’) is situated just 96kms northwest of Medan, making it one of the easiest, most accessible places to start your jungle adventure. One of the most biodiverse regions in the world, the surrounding jungle of Gunung Leuser National Park houses 130 mammal species including 8 primate species, 285 species of birds and 89 endangered and protected species including the very rarely seen Sumatran tiger, rhino and elephant. BukitLawangtravel.com provides travel information and solutions for every traveller, so whether you want to experience a half-day jungle trek to see the ‘man of the jungle’, the orangutan, a 7-day trek deeper into the jungle, a ready-made package tour of Berastagi and Lake Toba, elephant trekking at Tangkahan or simply to while away your days in a riverside hammock whilst listening to the calls of the forest and the river, we can help make your trip to Sumatra the most unforgettable experience of your life.
