North Sumatra is home to rainforests inhabited by exotic wildlife, framed by towering volcanoes and waterfalls cascading into verdant valleys. In Tangkahan village, a team of elephants and their handlers work together to maintain a fledgling national park, where visitors can join these gentle giants to work and play in the region's pristine rivers and forest trails. Right upstream, the village of Bukit Lawang is the perfect place to see orangutans in the wild. The apes here are used to human interaction, so expect some close and personal encounters.
