Our Unique Jungle Cooking Experience

At Jungle Cooking Bukit Lawang, we invite you to step into the heart of Bukit Lawang and discover a culinary adventure like no other. Nestled in one of Indonesia’s most biodiverse jungles, our experience is about more than just cooking—it’s about reconnecting with nature, learning time-honored traditions, and savoring the wild flavors of the land. Guided by local experts, you’ll forage for fresh, wild ingredients and master traditional cooking techniques while immersing yourself in the sights and sounds of the jungle. Join us for a journey that combines exploration, learning, and the joy of tasting nature’s harvest.

A Word for Sustainability

We are a small team of individuals, wanting to share our love and appreciation for nature. As part of this mission, we are committed to preserving the delicate balance of nature that makes Bukit Lawang so unique. Our jungle cooking experience emphasizes sustainability at every step, from foraging for wild ingredients to using eco-friendly practices during cooking and waste management. We work closely with local communities to promote sustainable agriculture, respect local ecosystems, and minimize our environmental footprint. By supporting responsible tourism and educating our guests about the importance of protecting the land, we hope to inspire a deeper connection to nature that extends far beyond the jungle.

"What we are doing to the forests of the world is but a mirror reflection of what we are doing to ourselves and to our fellow man."

— Mahatma Gandhi
