Green Hill, Sumatra

“We” are the husband and wife team of Mbra and Andrea, we created Green Hill in 2006 and our vision was to build a conservation project that would help to protect Gunung Leuser National Park, it’s wildlife and human communities. What makes us unique is that our conservation work is funded by our ethical and sustainable tourism programme in which we take our guests on jungle treks in areas which are off the beaten track and well away from the busy tourist trails. Mbra was born in Bukit Kencur and has been a guide for over 20 years (many with a scientific research project) but is now focusing on the management of Kuta Langis Ecolodge and farm…..our regeneration site in a converted palm oil plantation. Andrea has lived in Sumatra for over 15 years, has a master's degree in Primate Conservation, is studying for a PhD (very slowly) and recently published a scientific paper about rule compliance in the national park. She runs an environmental education programme for adults (guides, visitors, locals etc), a Nature Club & Community Library and is working with the national park on a education and awareness campaign. We specialise in ethical & conservation focused trekking by taking you away from the tourist trails to stunning remote areas. We strictly follow national park rules for visitors and actively promote sustainable trekking practices . We use only hand picked, knowledgeable and experienced guides from Bukit Lawang and the remote villages. When you go trekking with us in remote areas you are making a direct contribution towards protection of the rainforest and its wildlife.
