Village Life & Culture – Half Day
Tour
- After breakfast, your guide
will pick you up from your guesthouse around 9:00 AM. You’ll hop on a
traditional becak or motorbike and head out of Bukit Lawang, riding
through peaceful countryside and scenic rice fields with the Leuser jungle
as your backdrop.
- Along the way, feel free to
stop and watch how locals grow rice in the fields. In the village, you’ll
visit small home industries where locals make tofu and brown sugar using
traditional methods. You’ll also explore the village on foot—see rubber
and cocoa plantations, pass green rice paddies, and meet friendly locals
going about their daily lives.
- Women in the village will
show you traditional crafts, like weaving palm leaves into roofs (atap)
and making bamboo walls (tepas) used in village homes. It’s a great way to
learn how things are still done the old-fashioned way.
- If your tour falls on a
Friday or Sunday, you’ll also get to visit the colorful local market, full
of spices, veggies, and tropical fruits like snake fruit, rambutan, and
langsat. Don’t hesitate to try something new!
- To refresh, enjoy a
drink—fresh coconut water or something else cool—before heading back.
- Your guide will return you
to your guesthouse around noon or 1:00 PM. Want to try a local lunch
before heading back? Just let your guide know—they’ll be happy to take you
to a recommended spot. (Lunch not included.)
