About this activity
After an early breakfast, meet with your guide and start your day by driving on the Sumatra Highway. The first stop will be at Binjai, a small town known for its Dutch-built train station. The drive continues through vast rubber and oil palm plantations until you reach Bukit Lawang, one of the main access points to the Gunung Leuser National Park, famous for its orangutan care centre. Upon arrival at Bukit Lawang, have lunch and then trek into the nearby jungle. The trail runs under the shade of the rainforest trees, and provides rewarding views across the National Park. In the afternoon drive back to Medan.

- Orangutans often get particularly close in this area, but please do not attempt to touch them, because the risk of spreading disease (particularly from us to them) is high. Also, as wild animals, they are unpredictable and have been known to occasionally cause injuries.
- In particular, the bold grey macaques sit on the lawn in family groups waiting for scraps, occasionally venturing closer to seize food or other belongings.
