Mount Leuser, Mountain summit in Aceh province, Indonesia.

Mount Leuser rises to 3,119 meters within Gunung Leuser National Park, forming part of the extensive Barisan mountain range in northern Sumatra.

The establishment of Ketambe Research Station in 1971 marked the beginning of systematic studies of Sumatran orangutans in their natural habitat.

The Alas and Gayo communities maintain traditional practices in the surrounding forests, drawing upon generations of ecological knowledge for their sustenance.

Visitors access the mountain through Bukit Lawang gateway, where guides lead expeditions through dense rainforest terrain to observation points.

The mountain stands as the third-highest peak of the Leuser Range, supporting over 10,000 plant species and 200 mammal species in its ecosystems.
