Bukit Lawang 4 day jungle trek takes you deeper into the Sumatran rainforest than the classic trip, far from the day-trippers. Over four days you’ll hike further into Gunung Leuser National Park, camp two nights in the wild, and search for orangutans in more remote forest. It’s a real expedition for fit, adventurous travellers.
Sumatra is one of only two places on earth where orangutans live in the wild. As a local Indonesian operator since 2006, we handle the guides, permits and camps, so you can focus on the jungle.
More days mean deeper jungle and richer wildlife. Trek beyond the busy trails into quieter, wilder forest. Camp two nights by the river, fully immersed in the rainforest. Watch for wild orangutans, Thomas’s leaf monkeys, gibbons and hornbills with more time to find them. We travel responsibly, supporting the conservation that protects these great apes — see the Orangutan Foundation International. Prefer the classic trip? See our 3-day Bukit Lawang trek, or read our Bukit Lawang trek guide.
This is a demanding, rewarding expedition. You’ll trek for several hours each day through steep, hot, humid jungle, going deeper than the standard route. Nights are spent at simple riverside camps, with meals cooked over the fire and the river to swim in. The extra days bring solitude, deeper wilderness and more wildlife time. It’s challenging, and unforgettable.
