Kuta Langis Ecolodge

Bukit Lawang


On a beautiful tract of fertile land that edges directly onto Gunung Leuser National Park, this rustic hideaway is the place to escape Bukit Lawang's tourist centre. Set up by the folk from Green Hill, this former palm-oil plantation was built with trekkers in mind, but is also a wonderful place to chill out among nature. It's about 15km north of town.

Its two rooms are no frills (there's no wi-fi, TV or modern comforts), which is part of the appeal. The creek at the foot of the property is great for cooling off, and is a launching point for treks into the national park.
