Sumatra Thomas Leaf Monkey Guesthouse & Jungle Trek is set in Bukit Lawang. This homestay offers free private parking, a 24-hour front desk and free WiFi. The accommodation features airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. Amazing value for your money! Brian is amazing, he basically organized my entire trip around the area including a four day jungle trek, a ride to and from the elephant sanctuary, and shuttles around the city. The guides during our jungle trek were great, Rosit was clearly a very experienced guide and he made the trip very entertaining to say the least. Everyone else in the crew were great and very attentive and helpful.
