Protecting Orangutans and the Rainforest: The Importance of Responsible Tourism in Bukit Lawang

Located in the heart of the Gunung Leuser National Park, Bukit Lawang is a paradise for nature lovers and adventure seekers. The region is home to a diverse array of plants and animals, including the critically endangered orangutan. With a focus on responsible and sustainable tourism, we understand the importance of preserving the park's natural beauty and the orangutan population, and work hard to minimize the impact of tourism on the environment.

Eco-tourism has been on the rise in recent years as more and more people become aware of the importance of protecting our planet's natural resources. Bukit Lawang is one destination that has become increasingly popular among eco-tourists.
