One Day Jungle Trek

Itinerary

The trek begins after breakfast at 9 a.m. After that, you’ll head out on a 6–7-hour hike through the lush rainforest. This area is part of the Tropical Rainforest Heritage of Sumatra. As you explore the dense jungle of Gunung Leuser National Park, you may spot the wild orangutans (Pongo abelii) in its natural home. Along the way, our expert team will share interesting facts about the local wildlife. You’ll also learn about the many plants and animals found in the area.

After a delicious lunch break, your trek will continue deeper into the rainforest. On this part of the journey, you may spot more amazing wildlife. These include macaques, gibbons, Thomas leaf monkeys, and even the elusive hornbills. In addition, our guides will show you different trees and plants. They’ll explain how local communities use them in traditional medicine.

To end your adventure, you’ll return to Bukit Lawang. The journey back is done by a traditional rafting boat, fondly called the “jungle taxi.” As you float down the river, you can relax and reflect on the wildlife you saw. It’s the perfect way to end a day full of unforgettable moments in the heart of Sumatra.
