Trek starts after breakfast between 8 to 9 a.m. Walk for around 5 – 6 hours into the jungle looking for orangutans, discovering medicinal plants and learning about their uses. Around noon there is a short break for lunch in the jungle, with the rest of the trek continuing after lunch. You can choose either to walk back to Bukit Lawang or to travel back by tube-rafting down the river (this must be decided before your trek begins)
Our jungle treks are the perfect opportunity to explore one of the world's most diverse forests, and our guides are incredibly knowledgeable about the fauna and flora of the Gunung Leuser National Park. Most of our guests are lucky enough to see orangutans in their natural habitat, but even if you are unlucky we can still guarantee you will have the experience of a lifetime.
Our team of experienced English-speaking guides, certified by the Indonesia Tourist Guides Association, will be glad to share their knowledge with you. They strictly follow the Gunung Leuser National Park guidelines and do their best to keep the jungle clean and the wildlife safe.
