Jungle trekking in Bukit Lawang - An awesome experience from North Sumatra
Jungle trekking is the primary activity in Bukit Lawang as it is the gateway to the nearby Gunung Leuser National Park .
Most tourists hire a guide as the jungle is easy to get lost in and requires a permit from Gunung Leuser National Park guide office.
Even though sightings of the orang-utan and other wildlife can never be guaranteed, when following the instructions of your guide the chances are favorable.
Getting too close to an orangutan increases the risk of passing on disease and viral infection, which jeopardizes the orangutans chances of survival and in turn the health and survival of the wild orangutan population in the entire area.
In the forests of Gunung Leuser National Park you can also meet the most famous organgutan – Mina. She is is extremely smart and knows exactly how it works. When there’s a group of people on a jungle trek and Mina appears, a lot of guides are panicking. You have two options: to lave the food behind for Mina and run or to stay calm, try to keep distance and hope that she’s in a good mood and not too hungry.
Another interesting amnimal is the Thomas Leaf Monkey. They have mohawk-style hair, and leap into air with wild abandon as they move from tree to tree.
If you want to go on a multiple day trek make sure you are fit and in good condition. The humidity coupled with the intensity of grade of the hills makes for some hard work but many options for spot. The reward at the end of your jungle adventure is a late afternoon paddle in the river back to the village.
We would like to thank our guide Nurdin, he was great!!

Tube Rafting in Bukit Lawang - Sumatra
In the rainforests of Sumatra are many opportunities to enjoy a taste of river rafting. One of them is tube rafting or tubing in the village of Bukit Lawang, which is divided by Bohorok River. It runs straight through the village and is part of what makes the place so special. The Bohorok river is a popular venue for tubing. Tubing is floating down the river in an inflated truck inner tube. You can hire tubes at many points along the river in the village for the day, walk up stream, and then float down the river.
Rafting traditional ‘jungle style’ on large tubes tied together by expert guides is fun and amazing adrenaline experience. Tubes are attached together to form a kind of canoe and our guide Nurdin as ‘captain’ makes as reach the village safely.
Thanks fow watching!

Meeting the Orang Utans and more in Bukit Lawang, Sumatra, Indonesia
In the summer of 2018 we visited Indonesia, we started on Sumatra with a visit of Bukit Lawang. We enjoyed climbing around the local bat cave, with plenty of bats, spiders, scorpions, shrimps, crabs and swifts. The next day we went into the national park to find orang utans. It took only an hour to find the first ones and after that we saw many more. we also saw Thomas Leafs monkeys, gibbons and macacs.

We went on a two day orangutan jungle trek in Bukit Lawang, Sumatra Indonesia. We loved this so much. It was so wonderful to see the orangutans in the wild. We went with an ethical company and recommend everyone do the same! This was one of our favorite activities we did during our 40 days we spent traveling around Indonesia!

Finding WILD Orangutans in Sumatra // VLOG 002
We started our stay in Indonesia with a 3-day-long hike through the jungle near Bukit Lawang, Sumatra. The tour was called “jungle explorer“ and operated by EcoTravel ( We’ve purposely picked this company since they make sure to leave no footprints in the jungle and have a general focus on fairness and sustainability on all levels.
Besides the amazing experience of seeing wild orangutans in their natural habitat and sleeping in a jungle for 2 nights, those 3 days made us realize one thing: We have to do everything we can to protect the jungle and all its beautiful inhabitants!
We personally stopped purchasing any products that contain palm oil and hope to inspire you to do the same after watching this video :)

We went to the jungle of Sumatra and spent a night here among wild orangutans, snakes and leeches. Back we went down the river on Tubes. We recommend you if you are on Sumatra.
PS: You may keep the earwig.

Eine Nacht im Dschungel - Orang Utans hautnah - Tubing in Bukit Lawang - Weltreise | VLOG #120
Hier nun Teil 2 unserer Orang Utan Trekking Tour von Bukit Lawang aus, in welchem ihr u.a. unsere Nacht im Dschungel seht, Orang Utans hautnah, unser Camp, wie man sich in einem Camp im Dschungel wäscht, viele Tiere und natürlich auch weitere Action in Form von Tubing, vom Camp im Dschungel, zurück zur Thomas Retreat Unterkunft in Bukit Lawang, über den wilden Fluss.
Wir hatten eine wirklich tolle Zeit in Bukit Lawang, siehe auch die letzten Videos, und die Trekking Tour zu den wilden Orang Utans hat uns extrem begeistert.
Wir hatten 70€ pro Person gezahlt, und die Tour bei Thomas Jungle Tours gebucht, da wir dort auch gewohnt hatten:
Man muss jedoch sagen, dass im Nachhinein die Fütterung und das Anlocken der wilden Tiere nicht wirklich ok war.
In den Momenten waren wir nur fasziniert, aber zurückblickend greifen die Guides so doch schon sehr stark in den Lebensraum ein und ändern das Verhalten der Tiere...
Darüber sollte man sich also auch zuvor einmal Gedanken machen!

Ach ja, übernachtet haben wir in Bukit Lawang hier:

Dort hatten wir Vor-Ort auch die Tour gebucht!
