Explore one of the last two remaining habitats for the Sumatran orangutan at the Gunung Leuser National Park. The park covers 7,927 square kilometers and straddles the borders of the Aceh province and North Sumatra, and boasts one of Southeast Asia’s richest tropical rainforests. Apart from the orangutans, the national park is also home to a magical variety of native animals such as rhinos, elephants, tigers, leopard cats, Thomas leaf monkeys, gibbons, macaques and siamangs. Another aspect of the Gunung Leuser National Park that makes it a must-visit when traveling in the Indonesian Islands is its status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The best way to explore the park? With a tour of course! Many tours are held in the national park and will give visitors great insight and higher chances of spotting the elusive orangutans.
