About Me
My name is Putra Jungle, and I was raised in Ketambe amidst its lush jungles. From a young age, I spent countless hours immersed in its wonders, captivated by the stories my father, who has worked in the Leuser Ecosystem for over 24 years, would share with me. In 2010, I began my career as a guide after receiving formal training. Concurrently, I pursued studies in Economics, deepening my understanding of ecosystems. Following my graduation in 2016, I dedicated myself entirely to guiding jungle tours. Today, I collaborate closely with a team of local guides.
My mission is to showcase the jungle’s stunning beauty and its diverse wildlife, while imparting my knowledge to visitors. Witnessing my guests depart with smiles brings me immense joy. Equally important to me is the preservation of the jungle, driving my commitment to knowledge sharing. Our tours in Gunung Leuser National Park focus primarily on encountering the endangered Sumatran Orangutan.
We offer trekking options ranging from 1 to 7 days, with the possibility of longer expeditions upon request. Additionally, we organize Rafting Adventures on the Alas River, tours of Ketambe Village, transportation services, and accommodations at our Guesthouse. For more information, please feel free to contact me. I look forward to welcoming you to Ketambe soon!

adrien R2024-09-27 A great 3d/2n jungle trip in Ketambe We booked the Orang Outan trekking (3d/2n) with Putra who welcomed us warmly in Orang Outan Ketambe Guesthouse. Our guide for the tour was Kevin. He was really good at spotting animals in the jungle : Orangs-outans, gibbons, Thomas Leaf monkeys, snakes, etc. Our porter Redouane was a really good cook on the camp.We really enjoyed the experience in Ketambe and are glad we did not go to Bukit Lawang.Thanks all of you ! Noemi S2024-09-23 Unforgettable jungletrip Sadly I was only 1 night and 2 nights in the jungle, but I liked it so much that I will definitly come back for a longer trip. Also if I was only one nicht there I could see the orang utan another different species of monkeys, butterflies and insects.The guide was supernice. He explains you about everything what you ask. In the camps there are other guides which help also to cook. All together are really friendlyn and I really enjoyed to chatter with them, and the food was fresh and delicious. The camps are near the river so you have always the option to take a bath. One time there is a hot spring ;). In terms of the hiking level i think the 2N/3D should be possible for nearly everyone who is a bit fit. The price is more than fair and there are less tourist than in bukit lawang. I would highly recommend one of the trips to anyone who likes nature and want to see animals in wild life! Roxane C2024-08-03 An amazing experience in the jungle I book a tour with Putra Jungle Trek 3D/2N and it was amazing. From start to end, everything was smooth. Putra is an amazing guide, he knows a lot about the jungle and the animals. He has the eye to spot the orang-utans and other wildlife. He's also very funny, speaks very good English and few sentences in many other languages. His team (Jemana and Aripin) was perfect! The food they cooked was excellent, and they prepared the camp so that when we were arriving on the campsite, everything was ready. Putra and his team were very caring about us. We slept under tents (we were given a sleeping bag and a mattress at the beginning of the trek). We slept the 2 nights in different campsites, both time along the river, where we could relax. The second night was close to a hot spring point and it was just incredible. Our small group was also very lucky because we saw many orang-utans, including a big Alpha male. It's 100% wildlife so chances to see those wonderful creatures are not guaranteed! Even if it was challenging at times, I am very satisfied with this experience with Putra and his team. Putra is really professional, with a team of great guys who are very attentionate. I highly recommend to book a tour in the jungle with them, because it is an experience you will never forget. Thank you Putra, Jemana and Aripin... one of my dreams came true thanks to you 😀 Louis R2024-07-12 Absolutely recommend. Incredible experience and amazing service! A friend and I did a 4 day jungle trek and had an incredible time. We saw many wild orangutans alongside gibbons and much more. And the hot springs are unreal. Our guide, Eddie, was very knowledgeable about the wildlife and respectful to make sure we did not disturb them. He is a great guy and really made the trip! And our porter, Ahmad, somehow cooked 3 delicious meals a day just over the fire. The service and experience is unbelievable and very good value for money, couldn’t recommend more! Alis2024-04-12 Great experience Amazing experience In the real jungle. The staff is carefull, expert, prepared and kind! I slept 3 night in the Jungle and discover wonderful places and many animals ( orango as well) ! Kindly recomended! Björn K2024-03-02 Awesome jungle trip in ketambe Putra knows the jungle really well. He told us a lot and with his help we were even able to see Orang-utans! It was an awesome experience. I dont think there is a place where you could get a more true and hands on viewof the sumatran jungle. Kevin V2023-10-02 What a great adventure ! We spent a 2d/1n trek in Gunang Leser National Park, with Putra company. Before trek : communication with Putra (the boss) has been really clear and easy.During trek : our guide, Armada, and Ahmad, the porter and assistant guide, have been fantastic, professional and friendly ! Thanks to Armada we have seen around 10 orang-outan (including babies and alpha male), 1 gibbon and some Thomas Leaf. Armada and the company are strongly committed to respect nature and wildlife. Campsite is well organised, clean. Armada is not only a great guide but also an amazing chef. We spent 2 months in Indonesia and his food is the best we had ! Tasteful and generous. After trek : Putra kindly organised us a lift to go to Medan.Also, it is possible to stay at Putra’s guesthouse and enjoy restaurant. It has been really useful the night before and after trek. I definitely recommend Putra company and team for an amazing experience in the jungle. Choosing them, you will also contribute to a more sustainable world as Putra and his team are also committed to support Ketambe community. Thank you Putra, Armada and Ahmad ! Sharon K2023-08-11 The best This Jungle trekking is one of a kind. You have the chance to see wild animals in their natural habitat, but with respect. The guides grew up in the jungle, know everything about it and make sure you see as much wildlife as possible and learn you so much about the jungle! Not only that, they do everything they can to save the jungle, by organising these trekkings, visiting schools to give lectures and plant trees. They don’t stop before you see wildlife and treat the jungle with so much respect and passion. You also get treated like a king. The food they make you (breakfast, lunch and dinner) is impressive. It is too much to eat and really tasty! I assure you that this experience will stay with you for the rest of your life! I highly recommend! Pascal S2023-07-04 Amazing overnight jungle trekking with very good guiding. We did a 2 day jungle hiking trip with Putra and it was very nice. He is a very good host that will take care of everything. He knows the jungle and any dangers of it and helped us spot many of Orang Utans and other animals, which we would have never seen without him. Due to his conservation work with his NGO he can give very good insights into the work of the local community with regards to jungle conservation. If you are lucky his brother will cook for the evening in the jungle. Rosa W2023-06-24 Amazing trip with honest and knowledgeable guide Putra (and saw many oerang oetangs!) We did the 3 days 2 nights jungle trek with Putra and it was amazing! This is a really nice place to visit wild oerang oetangs, we still saw many but were completely alone in the jungle! His brother made really nice food at the camp and we had a nice swim in the river to cool off. The hot springs were also nice. Putra is a really nice guy and knows everything about the flora and fauna in the jungle. He cares a lot about the jungle and together with his NGO he works hard for jungle conservation. Definitely recommend!!
