TANGKAHAN JUNGLE ADVENTURES
Welcome to Tangkahan, North Sumatra—known as “the hidden paradise.” Bordering Gunung Leuser National Park, this is a place where you can encounter wildlife such as orangutans, monkeys, wild elephants, and many other species. Beyond its wildlife, the area offers numerous attractions, including natural hot springs that well up directly from the earth, as well as waterfalls and crystal-clear rivers known locally as the Buluh and Batang rivers.
Our goal is simple: to help you experience the jungle in the right way while respecting and protecting the nature and communities that make Tangkahan so special.
Come explore, slow down, breathe in the jungle, and discover the wild side of Sumatra with us.
