Tondi was an incredibly kind, fun, and knowledgeable guide. Best jungle experience ever. Saw so many orangutan, gibbon, bird, etc.

We had an amazing day on this jungle trek. Our guides Tondi and Karan were polite, professional, knowledgeable and kind. They gave us lots of interesting information about the rainforest and were very understanding of our need to rest. It is obvious that they are part of a community that really cares for and revolves around the rainforest. They are passionate about showing guests the wonders of the rainforest and of course the Orangutans. The guides all work together to pass on information about where Orangutans are and we saw four separate groups and had plenty of opportunity to take pictures. The apes are not at all bothered by the people and they continue going about their business in the trees above. Things you might want to know: 1) the drive from Medan is pretty awful for the most part so prepare yourself for that. For us it thankfully only took two and a half hours each way but I am told it can take up to four. 2) You will get very wet even if you don’t chose the rafting option (which was brilliant) and will have the opportunity to swim in the river. 3) Lunch was really good and there was absolutely loads of fresh fruit. So no need to take extra. 4) the trip starts and ends in the eco-village where there are bars and restaurants, we really enjoyed a cold beer before setting off on our journey back to Medan. 5) the trekking is hot and in some places steep (both up and down). My 9 year old daughter coped with it but was wiped out by the end of the day. I would say that you do need to be in OK shape to enjoy it. 6) tips are gratefully received and I did not see an ATM. Overall I cannot recommend this trip highly enough. It was superb.

Initially i waa a bit worried because its a long drive and the driver spoke no English so i wasnt certain how things were going to go. When we got to Bukit Lawang we picked up the guide and Tondi was amazing! So patient. I saw so many animals and got amazing pic and videos!

we were so close to the orangutans!
we also saw few king of monkeys a peacock, and beautiful tucans
the guides were awesome, always trying to show us the animals, good humor and very nice.
After about 5 hours we come back to the village in a nice rafting

Have done many treks all around Asia...this is one of the best! The guide boys were excellent. They were friendly, polite and very helpful.
Pickup and drop back in Medan was very good.
The forest is very dense and well kept. We saw a few Orangutans and funky monkeys. Fruit lunch was cool. The trek took 3.5hours. We finished the final part by water rafting.
Overall: Excellent day trek; highly recommended.

The tour started off badly as they sent somebody who I thought was our guide/driver who did not speak English. We were on our way back to our hotel because it was impossible to spend a day and to go trekking with somebody who did not speak English. However, in the nick of time, the Agency explained that the person driving was not our guide but just he driver to Bukit Lawang, where we would meet our guide who did speak English.
The drive to Bukit Lawang is around 5 hours, with the last two hours spent driving through palm oil trees on a small road, which means that the going is slow as they are quite a few trucks transporting the palm oil fruit to the processing facilities. We arrived at Bukit Lawang at around 11:30 hours, where we met Ucock, our guide and almost immediately started our trek. to the Gunung Leusr National Park. Ucock is a perfectly amiable person and very knowledgeable. He was assisted by Balu, who was unfortunately bitten by a leech during lunch! During our trek, we saw 6 orang-utans, countless Thomas Leak monkeys , and a family of cheeky monkeys. THis was a good day out, especially because we managed to see some orang-utans.

El conductor fue muy amable y puntual en la recogida y regreso, preocupado porque estuviéramos a gusto. El trekking fue fenomenal, vimos orangutanes, el langur de thomas, gibones, camaleón, arañas, sanguijuelas, entre otros. Los guías se esmerarón en que pudieramos observar y conocer la fauna y la flora del parque. El tour incluye el almuerzo en medio de la naturaleza y snack de frutas, todo muy rico. Lo recomiendo 100%, fue una experiencia inolvidable.

Ein Fahrer hat uns sicher, schnell und äußerst freundlich von Medan nach Buki Lawang gebracht. Der Guide vor Ort war leider nicht kompetent, gab keinerlei Informationen und brachte uns mit 5 Raucherpausen im Dschungel (er rauchte, wir sind Nichtraucher) und kurzer Runde zurück zum Dorf mit der Bemerkung, dass wir alt und nicht in der Lage wären, weiter bis zum Fluss zu gehen. Der Weg dorthin wäre für uns alte Leute (sportlich, aber 63 und 65 J.) zu beschwerlich. Eine Wahl hat er uns nicht gelassen. Wir haben daher nur die Halbwilden Orang Utans Nähe dem Dorf sowie einen Weisshandgibbon und die Thomas Languren gesehen. Ob diese mehrstündige Anreise ein Erfolg wird, hängt vom Guide ab.
