Me and my friend arrived in Bukit Lawang on Monday 3rd of July in the evening. We loved the place immediately and the people were very friendly and welcoming. We had a drink and ate some good food there. On Tuesday we started our jungle trekking with our guide Roy. We did a 2-day tour and it was beyond AMAZING!! We saw around 20 orangutan and many other monkeys and other animals (possum, turtle, snakes, peacock, toekan, …). Our guide Roy was a lot of fun and gave us a lot of interesting insights of the jungle. He speaks very good English, is very helpful (for example he helped us carrying our backpack), made sure we ate enough food (delicious!!) and has a lot of knowledge. When we arrived at the camp down the river, he was more than happy to show us a waterfall which was a 30min walk. We had so much fun! Afterwards we had dinner together, played some games and he showed us some magic tricks. After the jungle trek, we ate again at Junias (very good food!) and had the best evening together with Roy, another employee (I forgot his name :( ), and some other guests. They played guitar and we sang the whole night together. It was so much fun! The same night I had an allergic reaction and they helped me so much to stop the itching. They made something to put on my skin, and I felt so much better afterwards. These people here are so sweet and caring, I never experienced such an amazing team. On Thursday we went via Junias to Tankahan to wash the elephants which was also a cool experience! First I was a bit sceptical if it would be ethical, but the ranger gave us good explanation about their purpose and they take good care of the elephants. We were really sad to leave this beautiful place and lovely people, and wish to come back! So if you are doubting to book or not, JUST BOOK!! You will not regret it, I guarantee 😊. Oh, and we could also do our laundry here which was very convenient as well.
