Top choice in Bukit Lawang


Living up to its name, this lodge is set on a gorgeous bend in the river a 45-minute walk from civilisation. Aca, the eco-minded owner, has preserved a giant patch of jungle that was otherwise destined to become an oil-palm plantation, and has built comfortable wooden rooms raised off the ground on stilts, plus private cottages overlooking the jungle, which are perfect for couples.

New luxury rooms were being built at the time of research, or otherwise camping is an option for budget travellers, with tents provided. Treks and pick-ups from Bukit Lawang are also offered.
