Official Jungle Trek Prices in Bukit Lawang
Gunung Leuser National Park, Sumatra
If you’re planning a jungle trek in Bukit Lawang, it’s important to know that the prices are officially set by the local Guide Association (ITGA-HPI).
These fixed jungle trek prices apply to all licensed guides and registered tour operators in Bukit Lawang, ensuring fair pay, safety, and quality standards for every trek through the rainforest of Gunung Leuser National Park.

Official Bukit Lawang Jungle Trek Prices (ITGA-HPI)
All prices are determined by the Indonesian Tourist Guides Association (ITGA-HPI) in cooperation with local stakeholders to ensure transparency and fairness.
Transport to and from Medan and accommodation before and/or after the trek are not included in the official trek price set by HPI! Anyone offering this for free is undercutting the official prices and underpaying their guides. More info

A personal note from Christine
"Guests want to make sure that their money actually goes to the locals. I can assure you: All income from our jungle treks go directly to our local team in Bukit Lawang. The guides, cooks and porters are paid for their work directly on site. As the managing director of Discover Sumatra, I do not earn anything from the trekking fees. For me, the priority is that the people who work in and around the rainforest every day can make a living from their work and are paid fairly. That is my understanding of sustainable and responsible tourism."
Why You Should Pay the Official Jungle Trek Price
Choosing the official price for your Bukit Lawang jungle trekking tour means you are directly supporting ethical and sustainable tourism in Sumatra.
Unfortunately, some operators advertise cheaper jungle treks – sometimes including accommodation or transport from Medan – but these are illegal under the guide association’s rules. Cheaper offers usually mean that guides, assistants, cooks, and porters receive unfairly low wages, and quality or safety standards are often compromised.
By paying the official price, you help to:
- Guarantee fair salaries and safe working conditions for local guides and porters
- Maintain high quality standards for your trekking experience
- Support the local Bukit Lawang community and families who depend on tourism
- Protect the rainforest ecosystem of Gunung Leuser National Park
- Promote sustainable and responsible travel in North Sumatra
At Discover Sumatra, we are proud to follow the official ITGA-HPI pricing system. We pass on all the money for trekking to the guides, assistants and other people involved, enabling us to pay them one of the highest salaries in Bukit Lawang.
Your choice to book responsibly ensures that tourism in Bukit Lawang stays fair, respectful, and sustainable — for the people, the wildlife, and the rainforest itself. 🌱
