Your Guide

About Us

We are a team of local guides from Bukit Lawang who have dedicated our lives to this jungle — and everything living in it. Fluent in English and certified in wilderness guiding, our team brings deep knowledge of the plants, animals, and ecosystems of the Leuser rainforest, ensuring every trek is not only unforgettable, but safe and responsible.

What makes us different is the relationship we've built — not just with the forest, but with its inhabitants. For over 15 years, we have known the orangutans of Bukit Lawang by name, by character, and by story. To us, they are not wildlife attractions — they are neighbours we have pledged to protect.

Our commitment goes beyond the trails. Our community actively participates in environmental conservation projects for wild animal protection, and when disaster strikes — like the floods that have devastated communities in Aceh — we come together to raise donations and support those in need. When you choose to trek with us, you're supporting a community that genuinely cares for it.

Wildlife &
Nature

The forests of Bukit Lawang are teeming with life at every turn. You have an excellent chance of spotting Thomas Leaf Monkeys, macaques, gibbons (often heard before they're seen), hornbills, and a fascinating variety of birds and insects — all thriving in their natural rainforest habitat.

And of course, the stars of the jungle — the Sumatran Orangutans. We have known many of them by name for over 15 years, each with their own personality, habits, and story. But we'll save those tales for the trail. By the time your trek is over, you won't just feel like a visitor. You'll feel like you've made old friends.

Just a short trip away, in a neighbouring village, lies the rare chance to witness the Amorphophallus Titanum (Corpse Flower) and the Rafflesia in bloom. Both flower unpredictably — our guides check the sites every single day.
