After a short walk, you’ll cross the Bohorok River and begin heading uphill. Soon after that, you’ll enter Gunung Leuser National Park via the old orangutan feeding area. This area is popular due to the frequent presence of semi-wild orangutans. As a result, it offers a great chance for early wildlife sightings. In addition, the environment here is rich in biodiversity, which increases your chances of spotting unique species. Consequently, you’ll see a variety of wildlife as you trek deeper into the lush rainforest.

Now is the perfect time to unwind. You can take a refreshing swim, enjoy coffee or tea, and relax surrounded by nature.

Along the way, you may also see wild Sumatran elephants. Moreover, the terrain will offer plenty of opportunities to spot more wildlife, thus enhancing your jungle experience.
