Riding an elephant into the secret beauty of North Sumatra, you'll be joined by the morning dew on your skin and the relaxing murmur of the river. Visitors to this National Park may enjoy a variety of attractions. Natural landscape, remoteness, and the discovery of new species of Rafflesia Flowers are all highlights.

Leuser Ecosystem is the largest and richest tropical sanctuary on earth

The Leuser Ecosystem has been designated as the world's largest and richest tropical nature reserve due to its immense biodiversity. Many tropical creatures, like the Sumatran Tiger and Sumatran Rhino, dwell here. As a result, there are many activities to do in this location, such as rafting in rapid river flows, helping to secure the forest with forest patrol elephants, and trekking among large umbrella leaves.
