Discover Bohorok: Nature, Activities and Hotels

Bohorok focuses on nature and activities in the surrounding area. This lets you organise your travel plans around a clear priority instead of treating different experiences as equivalent.

Orangutans in Bukit Lawang

The Sumatran Orangutan Observation Centre is located in Bukit Lawang, Bohorok. It provides a specific point of reference for the orangutan theme. If you make this location a priority, you can distinguish it when planning from the activities near Perkebunan Bukit Lawang: here, the focus is on the centre; there, on a selection of tours and trails in the surrounding area. This helps you give each topic the right emphasis in your travel plans.

Activities in the surrounding area

In the area around Bohorok, near Perkebunan Bukit Lawang, activities include jungle trekking tours in Gunung Leuser National Park, rafting on the Bahorok, and tours to a cave. The Perkebunan Bukit Lawang area also has trails for walking and cycling. Each offers a different focus: trekking takes you to the national park, rafting follows the named river, the Bahorok, and the cave tour is another type of excursion. Walking and cycling, on the other hand, follow the existing trails. When sorting out your travel interests, you can start with your preferred activity and then consider its location.
