Wonderful experience
My husband and I have recently returned from a wonderful trip to Indonesia, spending 6 days in Sumartra. From the moment we were picked up at our hotel in Medan we were spoilt by the friendly and kind Jaka and the members of his teams at Sumartra Adventure Holidays. After staying overnight at the Happy Ria Homestay at Bukit Lawang, we set off for a six hour trek into the Gunung Leuser National Park. This is a strenuous trek in very hot, humid conditions. Here, we were lucky enough to see many orangutans and other monkeys. Our guide, Teddy and assistant guide, Eddie, were very attentive, helping me climb up and down hills in the jungle. We camped for the night in tents near a river and enjoyed fabulous food prepared by our guides. Our next stop was a villa on a conservation site where Santa, a very friendly and informative staff member, advised us about volunteers monitoring wild orangutans in the area After a fast motorbike ride back to Bukit Lawang, we were driven to Batu Rongring, where we hiked to view an enormous tree in the middle of the jungle. We stayed overnight in a guesthouse in Tangkahan, overlooking the river. In the morning, we hiked into the jungle again where we saw a mother elephant, her baby and another young female elephant. Our guide, Bim, gave us pineapple to feed to the elephants which was a special treat for us. After our hike, we were driven to our last stop at a glamping site, set high above the river. We were transported across the river on a bamboo raft, which was a neat experience. After another delicious meal in the evening, Jaka had arranged for a local musician to entertain us . What a special treat to finish off a fantastic time spent with wonderful guides and other members of Jaka’s staff. Our last fun experience was a trip down the river in an inner tube raft, before heading back to our hotel in Medan. We would like to thank Jaka for an unforgettable holiday with him and his fantastic teams. We do not hesitate to highly recommend him and his tour company.

Fantastic 13 day Adventure
We travelled to the Philippines and Flores before moving on to our adventure in Sumatra. We'd booked with Sumatra Adventure Holidays and Sue was absolutely fantastic with all of the communication. We had a 12 hour delay in Denpasar but were able to re-arrange the pick-up time with Amin (our brilliant guide) so as could get a few hours sleep! Amin was superb throughout and treated us as family. The trip was exactly what we wanted to do, trekking in the jungle (and overnight stay) away from the other tourists. Washing the elephants - which we thought may be a bit tacky, but was great fun. Other treks up a volcano - all was very professional. We finished up with 3 days R & R at Lake Toba which was very nice. Very very pleased we chose to book with this company - would highly recommend

6 Day North Sumatra Jungles Orangutans Overnight trek and Hot Springs: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Medan.
How much does 6 Day North Sumatra Jungles Orangutans Overnight trek and Hot Springs cost?
+
Prices start at $1,037 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Medan usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 6 Day North Sumatra Jungles Orangutans Overnight trek and Hot Springs take?
+
Plan for about 144 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Medan is not rushed.
Is 6 Day North Sumatra Jungles Orangutans Overnight trek and Hot Springs worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable nightlife in Medan, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 6 Day North Sumatra Jungles Orangutans Overnight trek and Hot Springs?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is 6 Day North Sumatra Jungles Orangutans Overnight trek and Hot Springs suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 144-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 6 Day North Sumatra Jungles Orangutans Overnight trek and Hot Springs?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Medan can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Medan and add a light layer if any part of the 144-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 6 Day North Sumatra Jungles Orangutans Overnight trek and Hot Springs start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Medan within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Medan?
+
On Outty we rank every Medan experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 3-Day Ethical Orangutan Jungle Trek | Bukit Lawang, Sumatra, 2 Days and 1 Night Ethical Jungle Trek, Monkey Business 3 days - 2 nights Jungle trekking (including rafting). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Medan?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Medan?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in 6 Day North Sumatra Jungles Orangutans Overnight trek and Hot Springs?
+

Does 6 Day North Sumatra Jungles Orangutans Overnight trek and Hot Springs include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 2 listed pickup locations in and around Medan.
What languages is 6 Day North Sumatra Jungles Orangutans Overnight trek and Hot Springs offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
