Beyond the treks
Discover
Where you're trekking, and what else you can add to the trip.
Bukit Lawang sits on the edge of Gunung Leuser National Park, in North Sumatra, about 90 km from Medan airport. Most travellers come for a jungle trek and the chance to see wild orangutans. But the trip doesn't have to stop at the forest: here is where you will be trekking, what you can add before or after, and everything you need to prepare your stay.
