You may see the world’s largest flower, the rafflesia, pitcher plants, and the mossy jungle at the top of Perkison Mountain. We also should see orchid species, orangutans, monkeys, possibly wild elephants and other mammals. This trek is for those who want to get away from civilization - Bukit Lawang sits on the eastern edge of the Bukit Barisan mountain range, and Kutacane is in the middle. There are no roads, no motorbikes, no houses. The route is used only occasionally. Although you will generally follow the course of the river, it's not always easy going, which is why your porters carry machetes to cut a path, where necessary.
