Orangutan Sumatra in Bukit Lawang, Leuser National Park


Orangutans are the only great apes of Asia. They are found on the islands of Borneo and Sumatra. When they were first discovered, it was assumed that there was just one species in the Pongo genus, but overtime it was revealed that each island contained a unique species. Scientists classified the Bornean Orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus) and the Sumatran Orangutan (Pongo abelii), and things remained at just two for a while, that was until more recently!

Solo female travellers should beware of unlicensed guides, and of trekking or other activities where they might be alone with a man. If going to the jungle, meet up with fellow travellers and find a guide. All licensed guides have photo permits. Ask to see them before booking a trek. Jungle Gate Lodge have good reputations for solo travellers. Anybody who experiences sexual harassment in any form in Bukit Lawang should report the incident immediately to the Guides Association Office in the entrance to the village and to the head ranger at the national park office. Also make sure you get a photo of the person/guide as well.
