JUNGLE ADVENTURES
Responsible Trekking in Bukit Lawang
Bukit Lawang is a great place to start your jungle experience of the Gunung Leuser National Park. The trails are well established and it is reasonably easy to see ex-captive Orangutans lively freely, Thomas-leaf Monkeys, Macaque monkeys and other wildlife. Go deeper into the jungle to see wild orangutans, hornbills and other interesting wildlife.
The jungle is mountainous so involves uphill and downhill hikes. However, all our treks are suitable for anyone which is fit and healthy.
We've highlighted our most popular jungle treks below.
Discover the hidden forests at Landak River
​
Eco trek into the hidden Karst forests, rich in biodiversity with a small population of wild Sumatran Orangutans. No established trails, untouched by mass tourism. Explore the huge towering rocks formations and cave systems for a really wild experience.

2 Day Combo Trek, Sept, 2022
We can’t recommend Sumatra EcoVentures enough! They are helpful, knowledgable, and environmentally responsible. Heri and Putra were extremely knowledgeable about the animals and plants of the forest. Throughout the hike, they prioritized protecting the animals that we were viewing.

We managed to trek with our 8 month old baby, and it was absolutely fantastic! The team were mindful of what we could and couldn’t do and adjusted the itinerary accordingly.
