A plethora of primates and other wondrous creatures.

Each day is different. Get a guide and just see what appears. Please respect the wildlife. Give them personal space. DO NOT FEED THEM, you're endangering yourself and the primates by doing so. An illness that affects you, also affects an Orangutan. For me it's...More

With the right guide you can see this

You can take a 1, 2 or 3 or more days tour. But only with the right guides you can have comfort in the jungle! ASK for Predcko (predrico) And Baik. See Jacky And avoid Mina. Do not sleep in a little campsite but choose...More

Bukit Lawang was a wonderful experience for me and my family. We took the three hour hike and saw about 10 orangutans, which is far more than we were expecting for such a short hike. The guides were very knowledgeable about the area and made...More
