YOUR LOCAL JUNGLE GUIDE

Meet Leng

Born and raised in Bukit Lawang, Leng grew up with the rainforest of Gunung Leuser right at his doorstep. The jungle is not simply where he works – it is part of his home, his life and his story.

Today, he shares that connection with travelers from around the world, guiding small groups on personal treks into one of Sumatra’s most extraordinary places.

Local Heritage

Life along the Bohorok River

Growing up in Bukit Lawang, Leng has spent his life close to the Bohorok River and the rainforest of Gunung Leuser. The jungle has been part of his everyday world since childhood – its paths, wildlife, sounds and changing seasons.

For Leng, guiding is about more than showing visitors orangutans. It is about sharing the place he calls home – personally, respectfully and in small groups, with time to experience the rainforest rather than simply pass through it.
