WELCOME TO BUKIT LAWANG
Bukit lawang is the best place to experience one of the most biodiverse rainforests in Southeast Asia. The Gunung Leuser National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage site and has conservation importance due to it being home to many critically endangered and endemic species.
It is the only place in the world you will find the Sumatran orangutan, Sumatran tiger, Sumatran rhino and the Sumatran elephant living together!
For the ultimate jungle experience you need to have a knowledgeable guide who treats the rainforest with respect
There are over 380 bird species, 205 mammals species and an amazing 4,000 plant species to be discovered in the National Park. Our experienced and licensed guides will help you spot and explain the variety of flora and fauna, including: Sumatran orangutan, White-handed gibbon (and hear their noisy call!), Monitor Lizard, Rafflesia flower (Rafflesia arnoldi) the world's tallest flower (found close by in Batu Katak), Hornbill, Medicinal plants used by the locals, and Thomas Leaf Monkey (only found in North Sumatra
We also offer exciting opportunities to go rafting, explore bat caves, visit the Sibayak volcano or help wash the Sumatran elephants in Tangkahan. Check out our Jungle Treks and Activities ssection for more details.
We will always strive to ensure your jungle adventure is as perfect and fun as possible. We hope you will have an unforgettable experience with us!
Trekking for the school and helping local communities
We are a unique trekking experience that aims to protect the biodiversity of the rainforest whilst supporting the local community.
We are dedicated to developing our new school to assist in educating the children from the villages of Bukit Lawang through English lessons, environmental education and practical skills classes.
As we are only able to run this program through donations we hope that you will trek with us to directly benefit the local children.
From our jungle treks and activities will go to support the school. Donations will go towards various educational material, the urgently needed school uniform and books and other school supplies.
Explore our Jungle Treks and Activities section to see what we have to offer!
VOLUNTEERING, TEACH ENGLISH AND KEY SKILLS
We are always looking for volunteers to join us whether you want to help as a long-term volunteer or just come along to visit one of our lessons. You can contribute by teaching children English, helping with arts and crafts or teach any other skills you may have (dance, drawing etc.)
Volunteering at our school is suitable for anyone. You could be on a gap year with a few weeks (or even months!) to spare, a family who would like to introduce their children to helping the community and interact with the local children whilst helping them develop or on a relaxing holiday with a few hours free.
You will receive a warm welcome from our teachers who are always delighted to meet new people and show you around their villages in their free time.
We do not have a fee to volunteer, we just simply ask for a donation that you feel appropriate to the school. If you would like to volunteer long-term we have accommodation available at our school for a small cost. If you would like home made Indonesian food SORTA will be happy to cook for you

Note:
Please make sure your guide is official and have a cetificate
As guests to the rainforest help us protect our environment by respecting and enjoying it responsibly. Please ensure you pick up litter and do not leave anything behind as it can harm the wildlife.
It must be stressed that physical contact or feeding orangutans is prohibited. Orangutans are vulnerable to human diseases due to them being 96.4% genetically similar to humans. As they do not have the required immune system to fight these infections it can make them ill or even lead to fatalities.
