Sumatra Highlights

A Closer Look at Sumatra’s Standout Places

Berastagi

Berastagi is a charming highland town nestled in the Karo Highlands, celebrated for its cool mountain air and lush natural scenery. Surrounded by fertile landscapes, it offers stunning views of two iconic active volcanoes—Mount Sinabung and Mount Sibayak—which attract hikers and nature enthusiasts alike. Visitors can explore vibrant local fruit markets filled with fresh produce such as passion fruit, oranges, and avocados, or experience the rich traditions of the Karo people through local cuisine, architecture, and cultural sites.

Bukit Lawang

Wild jungle, wild vibes. Trek through Bukit Lawang's rainforest spotting Sumatran orangutans, gibbons, macaques, and hornbills in their natural home — then float back to the village down the Bohorok River on a laid-back 20-minute tube ride.

Excellent, ethical company

Excellent, ethical company

“We have just returned from a fabulous holiday visiting different Indonesian islands. Febby our destination expert listened to our ideas and planned a bespoke trip which exceeded our expectations by using their local knowledge. Kekayon journeys certainly delivered many wonderful experiences. We had Diwan available on WhatsApp to answer any questions whilst away, we were well looked after by local guides; Togi and Iggy. Stand out experience was trekking through the jungle at Bukit Lawang with Ranger Ginta, we saw many orangutans. This is the way to ethically travel and experience local culture. A 5 star experience, we wouldn’t hesitate to use again. Thank you”
