Why Choose Conscious Travel in Sumatra

ABOUT ESCAPE TO SUMATRA

Hello beautiful souls! I’m Kacka, trading corporate burnout at Meta and Google for Sumatra’s transformative wilderness, guiding wounded hearts back to themselves through nature’s powerful medicine, breathwork and meditation.

Conscious travel in Sumatra is rooted in nature, community, and experiences that slow us down. Our healing retreats take place in Batu Katak and the Landak River wilderness, working directly with local communities.

From digital-detox jungle retreats to respectful orangutan encounters, every experience supports conservation and local livelihoods while gently healing what corporate life broke. We hope to share our love of authentic Sumatra and the profound healing it offers with you.
