5 Day Trekking

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 two nights in the wild, you’ll wake up feeling like a true explorer. Enjoy a hearty jungle breakfast before setting off on a 4–6 hour trek deeper into Gunung Leuser National Park. Take breaks along the way to admire the dense forest and spot amazing wildlife — including up to eight monkey species like orangutans, macaques, Thomas Leaf Monkeys, and even gibbons or hornbills flying overhead. Lunch will be served in the heart of the jungle, followed by a relaxing walk to your next campsite. Once there, unwind by the river, enjoy a refreshing swim, and watch the sunset over the trees. After dinner around the campfire, you can join your guide for an optional night trek — a magical chance to see nocturnal creatures that wake when the jungle goes dark.

Day 4

Your fourth day takes you even deeper into the wild heart of Gunung Leuser National Park. Explore untouched corners of the rainforest—hidden waterfalls, crystal-clear streams, and serene riverbanks where few have ever set foot. Each step reveals new wonders of plants, wildlife, and the magic of the tropical jungle. After a peaceful lunch surrounded by nature, continue trekking while your guide shares stories about the forest’s medicinal plants and their traditional uses. As evening arrives, settle into your final campsite and relax with tea or coffee as dinner is prepared. If you’re up for one last adventure, join your guide on a short night trek to spot nocturnal animals in their mysterious world.

Day 5

Wake up to your final jungle breakfast, breathing in the pure morning air and soaking in your last moments of forest calm. After lunch, it’s time to return to Bukit Lawang in true explorer style — floating down the Bohorok River on a thrilling “jungle taxi” ride. As you reach the village, tired but smiling, you’ll carry home more than just photos — but stories, friendships, and memories that will stay with you forever.
