The best place to start expeditions into the Mount Leuser National Park is from the village of Ketambe, 25 km north of Kutacane. Within the town of Bhukit Laway in the Gunung Leuser National park, there is one of the largest jungle parks in world. This is the location of one of the world’s largest orangutan population. It is called the Orangutan Rehabilitation center. Travelers can visit this center and see how Orangutans live in a natural, wild habitat.
Within this national park, it is also possible to arrange a jungle trek, with a private guide who can lead travelers along the various paths to where the Orangutans like to interact.
