Specialist Overview

Bukit Lawang, United Kingdom

Tucked along a fast-flowing river on the edge of northern Sumatra’s rainforest, Bukit Lawang is a gateway to raw nature and unforgettable wildlife experiences.

The main attraction is the Bohorok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre, established in 1973 to help reintroduce rescued orangutans into the wild. Seeing these gentle giants swing through the canopy is an experience that stays with you forever.

In addition to orangutans, the area offers jungle treks, rafting, and tubing — all accompanied by the sounds of tropical birds and rushing water. For a more tranquil visit, it’s best to explore during weekdays, avoiding the crowds from nearby Medan.
