The official trekking prices set by the Indonesian Guide Assocation
In Bukit Lawang, official trekking rates are strictly standardized by the ITGA-HPI (Indonesian Tourist Guide Association) to ensure fair compensation, safety compliance, and the sustainable management of the Gunung Leuser National Park. When tour operators adhere to these regulated prices, it guarantees that park permits are legally covered and that local guides, assistant guides, and porters receive honest, liveable wages for their demanding physical work.
Conversely, when unauthorized companies or budget operators heavily undercut these official rates, it is widely considered unethical. These cheap discounts are almost always achieved by cutting corners—meaning the savings come directly out of the pockets of hard-working local staff through unfair wages, as well as by neglecting safety standards, group size limits, and environmental protection rules within the fragile rainforest ecosystem.
To stand firmly behind these ethical standards, we strictly guarantee full compliance with these official pricing guidelines, ensuring that every booking directly supports fair wages, proper insurance, and safe working conditions for our local team.
