Cheapest, easiest and most certain way of seeing Wild orangutans
In order to buy a ticket for a feeding you have to go to an office and pay a gov't official a bit of money (200,000-300,000, i forget) Loads of tour guides and trekking companies will direct you to other places...but google maps should take you to the right place. There is NO NEED to go on a trek to see the orangutans, Trekking is nice and all, but if you just want to see the apes and get on with your trip, this is the way to go. The trekking guides will tell you that trekking is the best way, but they would, wouldn't they? After you get your tickety thing from the gov't office, you will walk upriver (without crossing the river until you see a boat on a rope for crossing the river. then you will hike a little ways, (10-20 min) up the mountain and the magical experience happens. Because so much effort is put into diverting tourists from this cheaper, easier option, the groups there are usually pretty small.

See Orang Utan closely - only 1 metres from you!
Where you can see Orang Utan in their own nature environment closely? Only 2 places in Indonesia, and one of them is at Bukit Lawang. If you have tight schedule, take a day trip (around 4-6 hours trekking return), and during your own way or back you can meet Orang Utan and see them closely. Please aware for the national park warning for not giving them food since they are easy to get infected from human disease. Also, please not open your bag zipper since they hate the sound and will become aggresive and possibly to attack you because of that. Please stay near your guide and never decide to walk alone. Use guide tour is a MUST!
