Day 1
Begin your adventure after breakfast as your guide
picks you up around 9:00 AM. Walk along the riverbank,
passing through lush rubber plantations before
reaching the entrance of Gunung Leuser National Park.
Once inside, the jungle comes alive — keep your eyes
open for Sumatran orangutans swinging freely through
the trees. If you’re lucky, you might even see mothers
with their playful babies. Take your time to enjoy
this unforgettable moment before continuing deeper
into the forest. Pause for a short rest and enjoy
fresh tropical fruits. Then, trek gently uphill for an
incredible view over the Bohorok River Valley and the
surrounding rainforest. After a delicious jungle
lunch, the trail continues through dense vegetation
filled with wildlife like Thomas Leaf Monkeys,
Pig-tailed Macaques, and colorful tropical birds. By
late afternoon, you’ll arrive at your riverside or
waterfall campsite. Relax with a cup of tea, take a
swim, or simply unwind as your guide prepares a hearty
local dinner. As night falls, gather around the
campfire, share stories, and fall asleep to the
tranquil sounds of the jungle.
Day 2
Wake up to birdsong and a homemade breakfast in the
heart of the rainforest. Today’s trek takes you deeper
into untouched jungle, where the chance of spotting
more wildlife increases. Watch for Monitor Lizards,
Macaques, and maybe even Gibbons calling from the
canopy. Enjoy a tasty lunch surrounded by towering
trees before continuing another few hours to your next
campsite. Cool off in the nearby river or waterfall
and relax while dinner is cooked over an open fire.
Spend the evening chatting or playing simple games
with your guide before drifting off to sleep beneath
the stars.
Day 3
After breakfast, take in the calm beauty of your last
morning in the jungle. Depending on your preference,
relax at camp or hike a bit further in search of
hornbills, leaf monkeys, and siamang gibbons.
Following your final lunch, it’s time for a fun finish
— hop onto the “jungle taxi,” a traditional tube raft
that will carry you down the Bohorok River back to
Bukit Lawang. Feel the rush of the water and the
satisfaction of completing a real jungle adventure
before returning to your guesthouse with lasting
memories.
