Bohorok River
Sungai Bohorok
A clear mountain stream that runs through the village. After a rainforest trek, you float back to the village on a large inner tube. It is the classic experience of Bukit Lawang.
The Bohorok River flows down from the Leuser Mountains. Guesthouses and restaurants line both banks of Bukit Lawang, and a suspension bridge links the east and west sides. Multi-day treks usually end with tube rafting, which can also be booked on its own as a trip of about one hour; the price is often included in trekking packages. The current is strong, so follow your guide's instructions, especially when the river is high in the rainy season. In the evening, you can wade in the rocky shallows by the river and watch villagers doing their laundry.
