Jungle Trek - Bukit Lawang - Sumatra, Indonesia- February 2018
Two day jungle trek in Gunung Leuser National Park in Northern Sumatra.
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!!

Orangutans and Sumatra Jungle Trekking in Bukit Lawang, Indonesia
Bukit Lawang Orangutan tracking, trekking and tubing.
I ordered the Bukit Lawang Orangutan tracking, trekking, and tubing activities from the owner of my hotel, Wisma Leuser Sibayak. This was part of my Bukit Lawang and Lake Toba Itinerary. Ricky who was the representative of the hotel was also my guide during the three hours activities. In the afternoon of January 14, after lunch, we started the trekking. Ricky’s associates and colleagues Nuria from Germany and Wan joined us.
We were also lucky to have seen Thomas’ leaf monkey. A relative of the silver leaf monkey I am familiar with in Selangor, Malaysia. It was a male monkey calling its partner using its distinct vocalization. The monkey looked friendly, clean and smooth. It was not scared of our presence at all.
Finally, we reached the meeting point for the tubing activity. There waited Ricky’s partner named Wan. Before tubing, we had a short break. We ate pineapples and some bananas. Then the macaques started gathering nearby which signaled us to already proceed with the tubing back towards Wisma Leuser Sibayak.
January is considered low season in Bukit Lawang. However, there is a chance to find the Sumatran Orangutans like I did.

Jungle Trek Bukit Lawang Orangutan Sanctuary, Sumatra September 2019
Bukit Lawang Jungle Trek...This was our first real jungle trek and we did it to face our fears and to overcome a few life challenges. The jungle trek was for 2 days and 1 night in one of the largest orangutan jungle in the world, with around 5,000 orangutans occupying the area. We saw a chilly snake, 11 orangutans, pig tail monkeys, long tailed macaques, a gibbon, spiders, large ants, King Louie and a thomas leaf monkey. We trekked for 9 hours before reaching camp where we stayed in a bamboo hut overnight. The jungle really came alive at night. A tiger was spotted 2 days ago so we didn't sleep too well. There are two well known orangutans in the area, Mina and Jackie. Mina is an aggressive orangutan where as Jackie is the friendliest. We didn't see either of them but what we saw and experienced, was life changing for us. We would reccomend this for anyone who visits beautiful Sumatra.

Bukit Lawang, Indonesia (Zo & Marimar Episode: 7)
This week we venture into the northern part of the Sumatran Jungle in Indonesia. A quick flight into Medan, then a 4 hour bumpy car ride into Bukit Lawang. We encountered (8) Orangutans! We also went to check out the Bat Caves. Everything was dirt cheap except for the 2 day jungle trek, but it was well worth it. The currency conversion from US dollars to Indonesian Rupiah is US $1 = IND13334.99!! It was quite an adventure to get to our hostel & sleeping in a tent next to the river was also an amazing experience. Be sure to check back every Monday as we post new videos every week!

Bukit Lawang Jungle Trek, Meeting Mina. Sumatra (Indonesia Part 3)
Follow our journey trekking through the Gunung Leuser National Park with our hero of a guide, *Cee Lo (*probably misspelt). We would encounter a variety of animals and eventually meet the fearsome queen of the jungle, Mina (aka The Mina). With a ruthless reputation for stealing backpacks and biting people we were lucky to leave with the footage intact.
Aside from the jungle, this video also features a walk around Bukit Lawang, river tubing and a selection of Bukit Lawang’s greatest hits.
Most of the music featured is performed by staff at the Junia Guesthouse, Cee Lo and friends of Cee Lo/ the guesthouse.

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.

Orangutan Jungle Trek in Bukit Lawang, Sumatra | Travel Vlog
Going on an orangutan jungle trek in Bukit Lawang, Sumatra has been the highlight of my recent trip to Indonesia! But as amazing as this experience was, I can’t not touch upon some important issues that this trip has brought to light (even more) for me - mainly the deforestation of the rainforest to make space for palm oil plantations, causing the loss of habitat for many now critically endangered species in the process, as well as unethical tourism. Please watch the video until the end and help me spread awareness.
