Welcome to Jungle Orangutan Sumatra

Discover the Wild Heart of Sumatra

Join us for an unforgettable jungle trekking adventure in Bukit Lawang, one of the best places in North Sumatra to experience the rainforest and search for the incredible Sumatran orangutan in its natural habitat. From Rimba House, we can help you arrange a jungle experience that matches your time, fitness level, and interests. Whether you are looking for a shorter trek or a longer adventure deep into the rainforest, our local guides will lead you through the beautiful jungle surrounding Bukit Lawang. The jungle is not only about orangutans. Along the way, you may encounter monkeys, birds, butterflies, reptiles, insects, and many different species of tropical plants and trees. Every trek is different, and that is part of the adventure.

Trekking with Local Guides

Our jungle treks are led by experienced local guides who know the rainforest around Bukit Lawang and understand its wildlife and trails. Your guide will help you discover the forest, explain the plants and animals you encounter, and share local knowledge about the rainforest and life in the area. We believe that trekking should be about more than simply seeing wildlife. It is about slowing down, listening to the sounds of the forest, enjoying the scenery, and experiencing the natural environment of Sumatra.

Meet the Sumatran Orangutan

One of the highlights of trekking in Bukit Lawang is the possibility of seeing the Sumatran orangutan. Seeing an orangutan moving through the rainforest canopy is a truly special experience. However, these are wild animals, and sightings can never be guaranteed. Our guides follow the animals’ natural environment and behavior rather than chasing them. We ask all visitors to respect the wildlife by keeping a safe distance, avoiding feeding or touching animals, and following the instructions of their guide. The rainforest is their home, and we are guests.
