The recent news of flooding in parts of Sumatra has understandably raised concern for international travelers planning their dream adventure to see sumatran orangutan. While some region in Aceh and North Sumatra have faced challenges due to extreme weather, we have an important update for the trekking community: Bukit Laawang remains unaffected and is fully open for tourism.
Current Status of Bukit Lawang and Leuser National Park
Despite the reports of heavy rainfall and flash floods in other districts of Northern Sumatra (such as Aceh Tenggara and North Aceh), the tourist village of Bukit Lawang and the surronding Leuser National Park are currently safe.
The geographical location of Bukit Lawang , situated along the Bahorok River, has not experienced the same levels of water rise seen in other low-lying or disaster-prone areas this season. All major hotels, guesthouses, and local facilities are operating as usual.
