TANGKAHAN is another entrance into Gunung lesuer national park. It is around 1 hour 30 minutes to drive from bukit lawang through the palm oil plantation.  It is a Sumatran Elephant Sanctuary. This village used to be the Illegal Loggers base camp. It is the meeting point of two rivers. A lot of those logs were transported by the river.
