OMG, what an unbelievable experience. The close-up with the wild Orangutan and baby was a once in a lifetime event, surely.
Greetings from Vancouver Island. Was there 20 yrs ago, for an overnight trek. So good to see tourism is still strong there! So great for the families.
Great video 👌
What a gorgeous place and what beautiful happy people! I loved this little venture! ❤️👍
Wow!!! This is one of the best most captivating & interesting videos I have ever seen from you! What a rare treat and glimpse into a land of pure, happy people in their environment. Extremely refreshing given in the current state of affairs elsewhere. It's definitely a must visit adventure soon. Thanks STL and keep them rolling in:)
As always,an excellent video. This whole Sumatra experience has been outstanding.
Thank you Charles. My least watched series too as my core audience are Thai- beach fans but are they ever missing out, LOVE Sumatra!
I went to Bukit Lawang years ago, and a 2 night jungle trek. Enjoyed it soooooo much!
Nice vid. Thanks for sharing 🙂
You have made some great videos. For me, this one was the best.
Wow! Thanks to Bukit Lawang :)
Great resort, really liked the orangutan….he was cool, that walk along the river and the rock garden was awesome…..another fine video STL!
Thanks MauiHowey! Btw, your National Lampoon-esque trip collage vid was also really fun!
That's bucket list stuff right there, Sidie! Thanks for another great vid!!
Cheers David
Cheers STL this place is beautiful and the people are completely charming. I would love to visit, it feels like a place you could call home. Thanks so much for finding extraordinary locations such as this, it means so much to me, God Bless.
Me and my Mom always watch together your videos! One of the best travel channel for sure! Keep up!
Our next holiday is planned to Thailand just because of your videos.🙌🏼
Thank you (and Mom:)
come to medan sumatra
Another great vid, thanks. Loved both Edi's, real characters. 😊😊
:)
I was there in 1992. It's changed a lot, likely in part due to the river flooding the place out. There were only 3 places to stay back then - US$4/night for the best of it. Orang up at the contact site, but we also trekked up river and a mother/baby were along side. It was a good trip.
dude you go to alotta beautiful places but this one really blew me away. so amazing.
Living the life I am dreaming of…. Great work as always STL!
Hello from CA. Your videos are always a treat, especially in Sumatra! Thanks 4 fabulous adventure!
Thanks eh ;)
Amazing how you can get the wrong idea about people.
Edi came across as a bit of an annoying guy in your last video.
What a great guy he is.
Appogises Edi.
Oh and may I say, this has been your best side trip by far.
Yep, also had my doubts at first lol. But he came through, did a great job and made for a fun experience. Thanks Edi!
Love the morning traffic tie-ups and jams. 😂 The Orangutan 🦧 and baby was really neat! Great video! Thanks. 😊
“Wobbly pops” 😆🤪🤣 Nice cameo too. 😁
Ahhh you really watched lol. Thank you Eileen :)
@@SideTripLife I sure did! 😁 Besides, it’s like a fun “Where’s Waldo” except you dress better! 🤣😉
Plus, I’ve always wanted to do videos around where I live currently in beautiful Salzburg Austria 🇦🇹 so your format gives me some ideas. (Thanks) 😊
I'm afraid this'll go for $60/night now that you've shown it in a YT vid. Lol! 😂
Lol! Thankfully loads of great value guesthouses at Bukit Lawang, something for every budget.
I lived in California for 7 years. The redwoods are amazing
Love the Redwoods too :)
This is so fantastic.
Bukit Lawang really is
Great viewing as always. You’re living an amazing lifestyle exploring and experiencing!
Life..
What a fantastic trip. I hope to follow in your footsteps someday.
Hello from Kelowna! So happy I stumbled upon your Bukit Lawang video! I was there in 1994 to see the Orangutans...will have to convert my VHS tapes to digital and share! When I heard the Bukit Lawang song it brought back many fond memories!!!!
@HanleysJourneys Hello in Kelowna! Loved BL and yes the song too ;) '94? Yes, deffo get the conversion done and post it on YT. Btw, THIS area in Sumatra reminded me of the Okanagan: ua-cam.com/video/ZUEeF5qIH3o/v-deo.html
Enjoyed …quality as ever mate. Just arrived in Bangkok ended up in Soi Cowboy busiest for 3 years and saw at least 3 orangs !!
Regards Robbie
Lol
Selamat Ulang Tahun...sung by 'jamrud' one of my favs.(cover sung @23:30 )...Sumatran people are beautiful people i miss so much...but will see my 'adopted' family soon enough....Thanks for the inspiring 'vlog'.....perjalanan dengan aman saudara.
Thank you! I LOVE Sumatra and will be back for more!
Two thumbs up dude. I'm from Newfoundland. Live in the Philippines. I'm going... Now na!
Great video, what an idyllic place that is.
we did the 2days/1night trip...and u really missed this experience!!!!! we stayed in a camp on the river.
Sounds great guys! I'm a wuss lol
Thanks for this. What time of year is best for a visit? Leaving the UK to visit Thailand for 2 weeks next Saturday but your Sumatra series has really got me considering visiting as my next holiday destination.
Being more equatorial than Thailand dry/wet season is less defined. Looking at rainfall charts Feb-Mar and Jun-July have less rainfall but even in wetter months you'll get sun.
I want to move to Lombok full-time, currently saving. T minus 10 months until departure
Hi Christian, in another comment below you were asking for suggestions about moving? My only advice would be to firstly visit before making any long term decisions (of course). If all goes well, then to gauge whether a place might fit your lifestyle, try a couple months at the desired destination before making any commitments. UA-camrs like me can make it all look super appealing but daily life may not measure up to an edited 15 min vlog... So have a great trip, take it slow, hope it works out and turns into a great move! Cheers! STL
Your videos are Full of little Gems STL...... And everyone is Smiling...... Great to watch..... Thank you for sharing.... :-)))
Cheers SB!
@@SideTripLife Your most Welcome ... :-))
Publishing on a weekend: Now that's more like it 🙂
Haha noted ;)
This was your best video
Thanks. A few have said that. Unfortunately only a few of my core Thailand-centric subscribers watched this vid, so thanks again, much appreciated :)
Lovely video - so nice to see Bukit Lawang so full of life post-pandemic. I know they did it really rough there during COVID. I'm sure it was amazing to see those orangutans up close at your accommodation, but I find it so sad. They are so at risk from contact with people - particularly babies- that I always feel nervous when I see them coming into human areas and interacting. Just beautiful though! Look forward to the next one.
I also had mixed feelings seeing the mum and baby in the outer guesthouse area. Selfishly delighted and somewhat concerned all at once. Hopefully this remains a rare occurrence. Enjoying your vids as well guys, all the best. STL
So gorgeous their and that orangutan and her baby coming onto the property was crazy amazing. What a super great experience 🎉
Yes it was!
What a great spot Loved that room nice rafting as well. Another great side trip! Keep them coming
Thanks JZ
Hi Mr. STL, totally enjoyed this vid beautiful Bukit Lawang, what a treat to visit, that tree reminded me of Cathedral Forest on the north tip of Vancouver Island, so awesome. Must comment on your guides, they were incrdible and funny. and to see the Oratan priceless. Love your hotel, great views and so peaceful. Love your commentary as always. thank you for sharing your experience!!
Thanks Rudy and goats too, just not on the roof like at Old Country Market in nearby Coombs ;)
Brilliant video 👏 literally living IN nature.
Excellent adventure. You were blessed with the orangutan visit, though I completely share your concerns.
Thanks! TIGER , no worries , I emailed Tarzan and asked him to watch your back ! LOL 555 thank you STL great show , enjoy ...
lol cheers Karl!
Lol......I was in the area up north, Blangekerjan I think it was spelt, and heard the same song. Great people and live joking around.
Sumatra a total gem and lovely people for sure
That is a fantastic place and seeing that Oran Utan was amazing, you're so lucky 😄
great video , yes, on the bucket list
Thanks sir.. for visit in my country
I LOVE Indonesia! In fact I am BACK in your country and filming right now. Stay tuned... terima kasih
@@SideTripLife thanks alot sir...
What an incredibly happy place 😮- accom variety - activities overload - 🍻😃👋👍🙏
Yep, that's Bukit Lawang :)
Thanks for sharing...now ,I really want to go there!
That was a cool video. If I find Thailand the place to live that would be a great little vacation trip. Not to mention Indonesian coffee is the best.
Really excellent. Thank you!
A little late seeing this but what a fun video and experience. Thank you
Never too late! Actually, many missed this series, so thanks for watching :)
My flight was cancelled at the beginning of Covid so never made it here. Definitely will make it eventually....great video!
Fantastic up close experience!
Hiya STL. I do love that room. Have you ever forgotten and left a window open?
Love the humor of the guides. Gorgeous trees. What a great experience. The rafting looked great fun. KFC drive-through. Haha.
Always great information. I wonder if she came trying to find food. How amazing to be so close. Beautiful place. Lovely people. Love watching your adventures. Always good vibes.
Friendly nighttime vibes. Great video. Have a great week. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you Nicky. Good to see you and Buddy enjoying doing daily vids, enjoy!
@@SideTripLife My daughter turned 24 this weekend. How that can be when I am only 19. 😆🤣My firstborn is getting married this weekend. Emotional times. Have a great week

I love your videos....great style....

Fantastic video! Thanks
MUCHAS GRACIAS !
Welcome to junggel in bukit lawang bro..
Great video and a cool place . How long would you recommend staying here ?
Some take 3 day treks and LOVE it, I only took a day trek (wuss lol;) But even taking a day trek I managed to fill 3 thoroughly enjoyable days. To link up other Sumatra sidetrips, Volcano's, Waterfalls, Lakes, pls see prev vids in this series.
Hey Sidetrip, awesome content again.
Cheers BB
FANTASTIC - trekking no need 😮😊🎉+1. ❤
Nice lookout river nd bar music ty😊
that was fantastic, thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
I'm going here.
The place looks so amazing.😊what is the cost to stay a month. Cheers.!
If it were this month looks like you can get a guesthouse from $8-$10 night so around 300 bucks. Prices vary weekends, holidays, seasons of course.
You are so luckyy to meet the orangutan
Was quite surprised and thrilled to see her almost outside my door (and a bit concerned to be honest). Fortunately mum and baby made it back to the adjacent jungle but again a bit concerned it's us encroaching, not her.
Looks like a good spot, can you give me an idea about how much the jungle and rafting tour costs and how much I should tip the guide(s).
Definitely a step up from Koh Phangan 😄
Will be doing an update on KPG upcoming...
@@SideTripLife Several weeks ago I visited the Phu Chi Fa, Chiang Khong loop on a 125cc Wave, beautiful country.
Nice!
Just looked under your description and so kewl you have a bitcoin wallet🙌Thank you for putting link for flights too….once Bitcoin hits the bull market, I believe I’ll be experiencing a tropical lifestyle. Your videos are great and learning so much. Thank you 😊
I’ve never sent btc yet so I’ll have to practice and send you a tip. Thank you again, you go to the best places and I can’t believe how reasonable the prices can be.
Thanks! If you decide to try, here's my updated BTC address: bc1qv0lktsug5ppf2py6vrttew655jeh247lm0zhl3
To the moon! (well, at least to the beach;) STL
@@SideTripLife ok, thank you and indeed to zeee moon 🚀

Hi Thank you for making this video. May I know how’s the weather around June and July?
Thanks 😊
Jun/July should be ok. Most rain is from Sept-Jan
Thomas Retreat rooms currently starting at $40 US. You must travel everywhere on the deepest off season day of the year. How on earth do you get the prices you get? What is your trick? Please post a video on that. 😀
Today Feb 22, 2023 Thomas Retreat is showing $8: bit.ly/41elvko
Weekends/Holidays/Seasons/Room Availability prices will vary of course.
What a fun stopover for you. Great stuff.
Are you heading north to Banda Aceh? Would be interesting to see how they’re faring after the tsunami.
Thanks Steve. Deffo plan to make it to Banda Aceh but next trip.
Yep, I'd live there... anywhere in Thailand than the UK 😖
Nice
You pan your camera too fast! While your footage is so wonderful.
It's a beautiful place, but sad for the urangutans and other animals that wonder into the cottage area which was once forest. Close contact with humans can expose them to many diseases. Sad..sad sad😢
Dari dulu sampai sekarang nggak pernah berubah, nongkrong abis nggak karuan, cuma bisa liatin turis sampe risih abis! not worth the experience!
what was the cell reception and wifi like in this area?
There was a cell tower in the village so pretty good
@@SideTripLife thanks!!
You called him
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated
Love the videos, but it's time to upgrade the camera equipment.
Yep. Ideally need a decent camera and various lens especially for difficult shots (like Orangutans 30m up a tree against poor light). However, that gets expensive, considering it.
@SideTripLife Very true and I'm sure lugging around more stuff isn't ideal either, but perhaps consider it an investment to grow the channel. Maybe start a Patreon?, could help with some of the expense. You have great content in beautiful locations and it would be awesome to see it in all its true splendor. I tell everyone thinking of traveling to that part of the world to check you out. Cheers
Will those monkeys attack?
Wow ! Amazing place. You are giving me inspiration to explore this place too!
