点评:It had been a long-cherished wish to see wild orangutans in the jungle of Sumatra. The night before our planned adventure, it had rained heavily—which is quite normal, as December is the rainy season here and we wanted to visit a rainforest. The very next day, we met our two wonderful tour guides, Aris and his brother Fandi from Bukit Lawang Tour & Trekking. Thanks to their expert guidance, we quickly came into contact with orangutans and other monkey species. It wasn't just the orangutans that fascinated us; Aris and his brother had a lot to tell us about the flora and fauna in this part of the jungle. The hike was quite strenuous for my wife, but that was no problem: Fandi brought her back safely and was always ready to help. I was able to experience a little more with Aris. For my wife and me, this day was an unforgettable experience that we will never forget. We are very grateful to our two guides for this. We can also highly recommend the Ecolodge as a starting point for such a hike. The rainy season was no problem for us – of course, you always have to expect rain, but on the other hand, there are far fewer tourists around. We will come back, but for several days next time.
