Batu Katak

With Journey Into Wild Sumatra, your adventure will be deep into the heart of Sumatra’s stunning jungle, Bukit Lawang, offering an incredible opportunity to embark on an unforgettable jungle journey. Immerse yourself in lush rainforest, meet a diverse range of wildlife, and discover the natural wonders that make this region a haven for nature lovers and adventure seekers.

As you embark on your jungle journey, accompanied by our experienced and knowledgeable guides, you will be captivated by the vibrant ecosystem that surrounds you. The dense rainforest canopy provides shelter for many species of plants and animals, each contributing to the balance of this unique environment.

And most amazingly, imagine the moment when you suddenly catch a glimpse of orange amongst the green foliage. Your heart will race as you slowly approach, and your excitement will peak when you come face to face with a graceful semi-wild orangutan. Watching them swing freely from tree to tree, foraging for forest fruits, or even just gazing at you with their intelligent eyes, is an experience that will live on forever. These unexpected moments of interaction, filled with awe and respect, are the highlight of each of our trips, leaving you with a deep appreciation for the wonder of these endangered species and their habitat.
