What to know
The village itself is free - it is an ordinary riverside village you can walk into, stay and eat in without a ticket. Every figure circulating under 'Bukit Lawang ticket price' is really the Gunung Leuser park permit, which you only need if you go into the jungle. The orangutans are across the river in the park.
