Bukit Lawang
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
The tourist town of Bukit Lawang is the main access point for the rainforests of the Gunung Leuser national park. Visitors come here to see Orangutans at the nearby rehabilitation centre and for jungle treks. Bukit Lawang is situated about 80 km to the north-west of Medan.
Tragically, a massive flash flood (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/3242775.stm) hit Bukit Lawang during Novemeber 2003.
