Bukit Lawang Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

The locals farm rubber or palm oil in this area. While it gives them a living and they are not in the hands of big business ( or are they?) look to the back of the photo to see what happens to the rainforest.

The muddy river in Bukit Lawang that 10 years ago cost more than 2000 local life. Now the city is yet again beautiful but the nature of the river is living on in the hearts of the locals
Incredibly beautiful, virtually untouched jungle paradise only one hour from Tangkahn or two hours from Bukit Lawang in North Sumatra. I have seen wild orangutans every time I've visited this amazing place!
This is a nature lovers dream, with unspoiled rivers, pristine jungle, wild orangutans and hornbills aplenty. A hidden delight. Check out Batu Rong Ring!
