A pristine sanctuary where luxury meets the wild. Experience the Leuser Ecosystem like never before.
Welcome to Bukit Lawang, a peaceful riverside village hidden on the edge of one of Southeast Asiaβs last great rainforests. This charming village is the main gateway to Gunung Leuser National Park, a place where wild nature still rules and every day feels like an adventure.
Located in North Sumatra, Bukit Lawang is a paradise for nature lovers, explorers, and anyone seeking a deeper connection with the natural world. The village sits beside a clear jungle river, surrounded by lush green hills and the sounds of the rainforest.
Gunung Leuser National Park spans an incredible 1,095,000 hectares and is proudly listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This vast rainforest is one of the most biodiverse places on Earth, home to thousands of unique plant species, insects, and wildlife found nowhere else.
"Bukit Lawang is not just a destination. Itβs an invitation to explore, to breathe, and to reconnect with nature."

At SUMATRA ORANGUTAN ESCAPE, ethical trekking is at the heart of everything we do. We believe that exploring the jungle should always go hand in hand with protecting it. Our treks are carefully designed to respect wildlife, preserve the rainforest, and support the local community that calls this place home.
We keep our group sizes small to reduce our impact on nature and to create a more personal, meaningful experience for every guest. This approach allows you to enjoy the jungle quietly and responsibly, without disturbing the animals or their environment.
During your journey, you may encounter wild Sumatran orangutans living freely in their natural habitatβobserved with care, patience, and respect. Along the way, our experienced local guides share insights about the rainforest ecosystem and the importance of conservation, helping you understand why protecting this jungle matters.
By choosing SUMATRA ORANGUTAN ESCAPE, you're not just joining a tourβyou're becoming part of a responsible effort to protect the rainforest for future generations, while experiencing its true beauty in a thoughtful and respectful way.
