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.
