Choosing the right guide can make a huge difference to your jungle trekking experience. At Trek of Sumatra, we focus on providing authentic, small-group adventures in the rainforest around Bukit Lawang, at the edge of Gunung Leuser National Park.
Our goal is simple: give travelers a safe, unforgettable experience while supporting local communities and protecting the rainforest of Sumatra.
Below are a few reasons why travelers choose to trek with us.
Experienced Local Guides
Our guides grew up around the forests of Bukit Lawang and have many years of experience leading treks through Gunung Leuser National Park.
They know how to:
Track wildlife responsibly
Navigate jungle terrain safely
Share knowledge about rainforest plants and animals
Ensure guests have a safe and enjoyable adventure
With local knowledge and passion for the jungle, our guides help visitors experience the rainforest in a meaningful way.
Small Group Treks
We believe jungle trekking should feel personal and immersive. That’s why we keep our groups small.
Smaller groups mean:
Less disturbance to wildlife
A better chance of spotting animals
A more relaxed trekking pace
A more personal experience with your guide
This also helps protect the delicate ecosystem of the rainforest.
Responsible Wildlife Tourism
The rainforest around Bukit Lawang is home to incredible wildlife including the endangered Sumatran Orangutan.
We follow responsible wildlife guidelines during all our treks:
Maintaining safe distances from animals
Never feeding wildlife
Respecting natural behavior
Keeping the jungle clean
Protecting the rainforest ensures these animals can continue to thrive for future generations.
Authentic Jungle Camping
Our multi-day treks include unforgettable jungle camping experiences deep inside the rainforest.
After a day of trekking you can relax at a riverside campsite surrounded by the sounds of the jungle. Our team prepares fresh meals and creates a comfortable place to sleep while you enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the forest.
Waking up in the jungle and hearing wildlife at dawn is often the highlight of the entire trip.
Local Food and Hospitality
During your trek our guides prepare delicious local meals using fresh ingredients. Eating together in the jungle is a special part of the experience and gives travelers a taste of traditional Indonesian hospitality.
