Description from owner

Description

Two bedrooms for both culture & nature encounter seekers.

A village house in a nice rural area (5 minutes moped ride up to Bukit Lawang) with bamboo rooms on the second floor; one with king-size bed on the floor and one with bunk bed, mosquito net, western toilet & shower, a kitchen, and an open air balcony facing paddy field and other tropical trees. Best suits for individuals/couples/family/group of three - four looking for both nature & culture encounters.

Start your jungle adventure with Irwan - the house owner, also a 20-year experienced orangutan trekker (licensed), who particularly knows how to handle Mina, a well-known aggressive female orangutan, as he had been involved observing orangutan's behaviour, including Mina's, in an academic research.

A motorcycle pedicab from Bukit Lawang bus station is idr 10k/pedicab (fits 2 persons).

Include in the room price:

> Breakfast (eg. banana pancake, fried rice, toast) per portion per person with coffee/tea . Extra portion is charged idr 25k/portion/person.

> Coffee/tea always free.

> We serve on order, lunch/dinner that you can pick from our menu.

> We can arrange a jungle trekking from 1 up to 30 days adventure in both multi-sport adventure tour and soft adventure tour.

Trek price information from the Indonesian Guide Association, Bukit Lawang:

> 3 hours jungle trekking, €25/person, min. 3 persons.

> 1 day jungle trekking, €35/person, min. 3 persons.

> 2 day jungle trekking, €60/person, min. 3 persons.

> 3 day jungle trekking, €85/person, min. 3 persons.

> 4 day jungle trekking, €125/person, min. 3 persons.

> 5 day jungle trekking, €145/person, min. 3 persons.

> Extra €10/person - combine with the traditional tube rafting on your way back from the jungle to Bukit Lawang village.

> 1 day tour visiting Sumatran elephants and help out with elephant wash €70/person - jeep ride. Extra €50/person for elephant ride. Somehow we no longer recommend an elephant ride, as the skeleton of the elephant is not very suited to carrying anything more than its own weight. If it is necessary to ride an elephant, from a health perspective, it is better to sit on the back of the neck.

The price includes all permit and entrance fee to the park, camera tax, fully licensed guide fee, meals, tent & refreshment.

If you are one or two persons, either we join you up with other group (adapt with group's walk capability & rule), or you pay for three persons if you wish to have the trek privately.

We also offer other Sumatra overland tour:

- Brastagi, Sibayak volcano, 6 hours trip.

- Sidikalang, sumatran coffee tour (next 2 hours from Brastagi)

- Lake Toba, beautiful Batak culture & landscape (9 hours trip from BL).

- Bukittinggi (west sumatra)

- Kubu tribal tour, Jambi province.

- Sabang, Pulau Weh
