Orangutan Jungle Trek in Bukit Lawang, Sumatra Indonesia: 2 day trek
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!

Sumatra Kids RESCUED ME from Bukit Lawang River! ????????
I left the big city of Medan to travel to the more peaceful and serene Bukit Lawang. A jungle village of Sumatra, located in the Gunung Leuser National Park, that's famous for it's wild orangutans and rivers.
I took the cheap public bus which leaves from outside Mawar Bakery on the street called Pinang Baris. There's a common scam there where touts will try to convince you to pay for your ticket up front at an extortionate rate. I'd read about this before hand and sure enough it happened to me while I was sitting on the bus waiting for it to leave. Unfortunately I didn't get that on camera. The correct fare is only 30,000 and it paid AFTER reaching your destination.
The food in the Mawar Bakery is excellent and very good value, so it's worth stocking up there before getting on the bus.
At Bukit Lawang Bus Station there were many touts. They are just trying to help you by sell orangutan trekking tours. I just told them all no as I would prefer to book a trusted guide through my hotel. They were very persistent and sticky though.
In Bukit Lawang village, which is only 1.3 km away on a flat road, so is easily walkable, I checked in to my hotel: Wisma Leuser Sibayak. It's one of the more costly hotels in the area but still very cheap. I took one of their best rooms at 400,000 IDR but it seemed like other than size there wasn't much difference between that and the cheaper rooms, starting at 200,000 IDR.
I started the stay with a light meal in the hotel restaurant. Gado Gado is a local Indonesian meal of boiled vegetables and peanut sauce. The healthiest food I'd eaten in a while.
My main activity of the day was tubing and swimming in the river. It didn't start off too well and I had to rely on the locals kids to rescue me.
My first (half) day concluded with a delicious goat barbecue beside the river, hosted by the hotel owner Bob.

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!!

Dschungel Unterkunft - Thomas Retreat Roomtour - Bukit Lawang - Sumatra - Indonesien
Willkommen zu unserer Dschungel Unterkunft Roomtour vom Thomas Retreat in Bukit Lawang, Sumatra, Indonesien..
5 Tage waren wir im Thomas Retreat Bukit Lawang um um dort die geniale Orang Utan Trekking Tour mit Übernachtung im Dschungel zu machen.
Das Thomas Retreat ist ein schönes kleines Hotel mit aktuell 8 Zimmern (2 sollen wohl noch hinzu kommen), netten Angestellten und einem richtig coolen Restaurant!
Bei uns war kein Frühstück inklusive, also sind wir einfach 3x pro Tag im hauseigenen Restaurant essen gewesen.
Das Essen dort war günstig, sehr lecker und die Portionen wirklich gut.
Probier mal das Sweet Potatoe Curry und zum Frühstück die kleine Fruchtplatte (die bei uns anstatt klein wirklich groß war).
Unser erstes Zimmer war nicht so toll, als haben wir das Upgrade auf ein Deluxe Zimmer genommen, welches uns für 2 Personen pro Tag nur 13,33€ kostete.
Echt genial...
Das Thomas Retreat liegt in Bukit Lawang direkt an einem Fluss, in dem du baden und dich abkühlen kannst.
Die Einheimischen waschen sich sogar weiter unten im Fluss und putzen sich dort die Zähne!
Es war ein wahnsinnig großer Kontrast vom Großstadtdschungel Singapurs in den echten Dschungel nach Bukit Lawang zu kommen.
Insgesamt möchten wir euch aber Unterunft/Orang Utan Tour definitiv empfehlen!
Hier geht es direkt zum Thomas Retreat ⭐⭐ in Bukit Lawang:

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.

Edwin and the Ant -- Bukit Lawang, Sumatra, Indonesia
Our jungle trekking guide Edwin shows off his professional nature-boy chops by eating and regurgitating a Giant Jungle Ant (not an official species :) and consequently grossing out/impressing everyone.
This is in Gunung Leuser National Park in Northern Sumatra, Indonesia. The park is one of just three places left in the world where you can see orangutans in the wild.

Bukit Lawang Two Day Jungle Trekking
We enjoy trekking in Gunung Leuser National Park near in Bukit Lawang,
Bukit Lawang Sumatra Orangutans Jungle Hike
In September we traveled to Bukit Lawang, Sumatra to see orangutans in their natural habitat. We were lucky to see several mama and baby pairs as well as a few single female orangutans. It's so very important to us to support this area and learn about it, because the animals of the Sumatran jungle are in trouble of losing their homes due to the palm oil trade. On this trip we had a Sumatran guide who lead us for 2 days of hiking, a night in the jungle and a rafting ride back to the small town of Bukit Lawang. Our guide was amazing and fed us the most delicious food and freshest fruit!! We also saw the Thomas's Leaf monkey, macaques, peacocks, gibbons and many other animals. Trip of a lifetime!! Go travel!!
