Bukit Lawang Orangutan Day Trip From Medan

The one-day trek is designed to maximise your orangutan and wildlife spotting opportunities, and time spent in the jungle, for people who either don’t want to sleep in the jungle, or who don’t have more than one day to spare.

Our expert guides will guide you in a group of no more than six people (unless your own group is larger than this size) to maximise the quality of your wildlife encounter. They will point out some of the many species of animal, bird and medicinal plants that you will see in the forest.
