Landak River
Sungai Landak
A quiet river valley downstream of Bukit Lawang, surrounded by jungle trails, riverside campsites and rubber plantations. It is calmer than the main village.
The Landak River lies northeast of Bukit Lawang. It takes about an hour on foot or by motorbike along the river from the village. Several small riverside guesthouses offer short jungle treks, swimming in the river and tube rafting. You may also spot red-haired orangutans and hornbills in the forest canopy nearby. It suits travelers who want to avoid crowds and stay a night or two longer. The roads are muddy, so confirm pickup arrangements with your guesthouse before you go.
