HOW TO GET TO BUKIT LAWANG INDEPENDENTLY
If you want to make your own way to Bukit Lawang here are the directions –
Take the public bus (ALS) from Medan airport to Binjai (40,000 IRP, 2 hours)
Take the small yellow bus from Binjai to Tanah Lapang (10,000 IRP, 20 mins)
Take the public bus from Tanah Lapang to Bukit Lawang (30,000, 2 hours)
Beware of a scam – When the ALS drops you at Binjai some local men will come up to you asking you to get in a bus to Bukit Lawang. They will try to charge you 200,000-400,000 IRP. Just tell them you know where you are going and you will take the yellow public bus. Strangely there is no scam leaving Bukit Lawang, only on the way there.
