Sumatra Cheeky Monkeys

Bukit Lawang

At the guest house, every unit is equipped with a wardrobe. A patio with an outdoor dining area and mountain views is offered in all units. At the guest house, each unit is fitted with bed linen and towels. I stayed at the place for 2 nights, had a great tour with two guides working with the cheeky monkey. We saw monkeys, Orangutans(my two guides found them after about 2 hours of Trekking in the jungle), turtle, insects, plants, did a great tour for one day. Including rafting for about +/- 50 Euros/USD. The food in the cheeky monkey is quite expensive compared to other places in bukit lawang but it was really good. It definitely a recommendation, try the Gado-Gado - a vegetarian food. Chris from Austria
