For easiest route, you can start the adventure in this national park through Bukit Lawang, North Sumatra, you can use the bus from Medan, at Pinang Baris Bus Terminal to Bukit Lawang. It takes 86 km by road to the northwest. To return back to Medan, you can take a minibus or a large bus from Bukit Lawang Bus station. However, if you start from Kualanamu airport you will find the driver offering minivans from the airport direct to Bukit Lawang, the cost is more expensive than public transport.
