Sumatra Travel Guide

Dreaming of discovering Sumatra and making memories that last a lifetime?

Often skipped by travelers, Sumatra is one of the most fascinating islands in the country: dense jungle, powerful encounters, ancient traditions… This is where we lived one of the most unforgettable moments of our lives: sharing daily life with the Flower Men, an isolated tribe from the Mentawai Islands. And also walking deep into the rainforest to see orangutans in the wild.

In this guide, you'll find everything you need to plan your adventure without getting lost in endless research, with only the stops we did ourselves: Bukit Lawang, the Mentawai Islands (Pototoga & Siberut), plus our bonus trip to Maratua Island (Borneo).
