2 Days Ethical Jungle Trek in Sumatra
Description
We organize unique and unforgettable jungle trekking eco tours that help preserve the Gunung Leuser National Park and its endangered orangutans. But we offer more than just traditional trekking experiences. Our English-speaking guides are certified by the Indonesia Tourist Guides Association (ITGA-HPI Himpunan Pramuwisata Indonesia), and they enjoy sharing their knowledge with you while they help keep the Gunung Leuser National Park clean and safe for both humans and animals! Our day tours and activities make a difference in the local community. When you purchase one of our trekking tours, 10% of the proceeds go to children in Bukit Lawang who can’t afford to go to school and single mothers who struggle financially. This money helps the children attend school and eventually find jobs that will allow them to support themselves and their families.

We had a wonderful two day trek with our guides Bim Bim and Rahmad! We were lucky enough to spot 10 orangutan’s on our first day and 2 on our second day! We were also lucky enough to see other monkey species and a few insects. The food included was incredible, especially the dinner cooked by a fantastic cook at the camp. We had lots of fresh fruit each day as well. Bim Bim and Rahmad were incredible guides who brought lots of energy and laughs to each day. We hope to return again one day, it was a great experience 🦧

I can absolutely recommend this tour. We did a 2-day, 1-night jungle trek, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The Team arranged everything for us, the airport pickup in Medan, the transfer to Bukit Lawang, the hotel stay, the actual trekking, and the return transfer. They organized it all for us, and everything worked flawlessly. The prices were also really fair, and we never felt like we were overpaying for anything we asked them to set up. The trek itself was so much fun, and a huge thank you goes to our two guides, Karan and Ridho, who were simply perfect. They were genuinely friendly, super accommodating, and took incredibly good care of us the entire time. Thanks to them, we saw a lot of amazing wildlife. The food provided during the tour was absolutely delicious, and we felt perfectly looked after around the clock. Five stars!

We always aim to make the whole experience as smooth and stress-free as possible, so you can simply enjoy the adventure. A very special thank you for mentioning Karan and Ridho — they will be so happy to hear your kind words!

Warm jungle regards, Sumatra Orangutan Trekking Team
Every part of this experience was great. From getting picked up at the airport to being guided through the jungle, we have no complaints at all. We arrived Monday night in Bukkit Lawang, left for the trek the next morning, stayed in the jungle Tuesday night, and stayed in Bukkit Lawang again Wednesday before heading back to Medan. Would highly recommend a similarly paced trip. Our guides were amazing, the trails weren't too crowded, the food was actually incredible (even the lunch and dinner in the jungle), and the orangutans were of course the highlight. We were very lucky and got to see 5 different orangutans, and one was a 3-week old baby. A lot of the guides work together to find the orangutans and communicate to each other where they are. But I think the best part of the experience was waking up to orangutan in our camp. It hung out for probably 4 -5 hours, and we actually got to look at from about 30 meters away while we ate our breakfast. Couldn't recommend this company enough. I will tell anyone I ever talk to that is going to Indonesia that this is a must-do experience.
Dear John, Thank you so much for your incredible review! 😊 We are truly grateful for your kind words and so happy to hear that every part of your experience, from the airport pickup to the jungle trek itself, exceeded your expectations. 🦧🌿 It’s wonderful to know that you enjoyed the pace of your trip and had time to fully experience both Bukit Lawang and the rainforest. We’re especially happy that you enjoyed the food, the atmosphere of the jungle camp, and of course the amazing wildlife encounters along the way. Seeing five different orangutans, including a tiny 3-week-old baby, is already incredibly special, but waking up to an orangutan visiting your camp is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience! Moments like that are what make the Sumatran jungle so magical and unforgettable. ✨ We’re also very proud of our guides and the teamwork between the local guide community that helps create the best possible wildlife experiences while always respecting the animals and their natural environment. Thank you again for your recommendation and for choosing us for your Sumatra adventure. Hearing that you would recommend this experience to anyone visiting Indonesia means the world to us. We hope to welcome you back to the jungle again one day! Warm jungle regards, Sumatra Orangutan Trekking Team
