Bohorok
This place is for the adventurous, accessible
through Sumatra's inland wilderness, crossing rivers and going
over steep hills. The area lies south of the Mount Leuser National
Park, a rehabilitation center for orangutans in Bahorok, which
was inaugurated in 1973. Orangutans living here are of Sumatra
and Kalimantan origin.
Bohorok Orangutan Rehabilitation Station offers
a virtually guaranteed sighting of young and mature orangutans.
These orangutans are taught how to survive before they are release
into the remote areas of Mount Leuser National Park. The eastern
fringes of the park can be visited from Brastagi, but for naturalists
and trekker, the best entry point is the town of Kutacane.
