Indra Valley Inn Bukit Lawang

The service was excellent. Punctual when being picked up. An excellent service during our jungle trek. Very helpful passing on local knowledge. Even lent us a large torch to visit the bat caves.

My wife and I stayed at the Indra Valley Inn for four nights in December, including two days and one night of trekking. The owner and boss “Obiwan” organized everything very well, including transport to and from Bukit Lawang. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, although I have to highlight “Fireman and “Verdi” as they were also our trekking guides. The accommodation is right on the river and we were given a room with a large balcony and a view of the river. The room including the bathroom was large and clean. Now about the trekking: Our trekking guide "Fireman" is a trained guide and the second guide was "Verdi", who is still in training, both did an excellent job. We saw five orangutans, two of them mothers with babies, up close. Other monkeys and animals too. We slept in a camp by the river and were fed by a cook (who was the boss at the rafting the next day) and did an excellent job. The rafting on fairly choppy water lasted about 20 minutes and was an experience. I can only recommend the Indra Valley Inn with “Obiwan, Fireman and Verdi” to everyone.My wife and I stayed at the Indra Valley Inn for four nights in December, including two days and one night of trekking.

The tranquil and less crowded ambiance of the place greatly enhanced the meaningfulness of my jungle living. It's about a 15-minute walk from the public transport stop, but they offered a free pick-up service. I originally booked for two nights but extended my stay to three because of the outstanding hospitality and warmth from everyone I interacted with. Each staff member made me feel truly welcomed and appreciated, making my stay exceptionally pleasant. The one day jungle trekking with one of the staff was also amazing and we saw eight orangutan. One of my favorite things is enjoying breakfast at the river-front restaurant. Overall, it was a great experience. Highly recommended!
