This tour is part of our ECO TOURISM PROGRAM,established 2016. 

Please find more information about it here. 

By booking this activity, you will support MIRA, a young local woman who will be your lovely female guide during this walk.

Mira used to be working as a teacher in an Education Centre, therefore she speaks english very well. She grew up in a small village near Bukit Lawang so she can give you first hand informations, stories and knowledge. 

You will be surprised about what she can tell you about her childhood and life in a small, rual indonesian village

(f.e. not to having plastic toys; indonesians are quite creative in making toys and any other things out of leaves,wood or anything else they can get from the nature!!!

It is quite funny and fascinating to see their natural self-made toys and impressing as well to see how happy the indonesian kids are even they are poor!!!)

STAY TUNED....

Mira is a modern and forward-thinking person and what she is doing as a young woman can be example for many other young people of the same age.

Not so many woman are doing kind of those jobs but step by step they are now allowed to develop and increase their skills.

We do like this attitude and think this progress is important for the future and education of indonesians and therefore we and you can help and support Mira.

It is part of our ECOTOURISM POLICY to help and support local people and communities for a sustainable livelihood,even outside of the tourist village Bukit Lawang.

Mira has also knowledge about many kind of flowers,plants and trees and will explain you about their various usage. Quite interesting and impressing as well to see how much of the nature local people can use for cooking, traditional medicine or building houses. Indonesians are very creative and smart about it. You will be surprised how much of a coconut tree for example the people use and for what! Mira will tell and show you...
