The definitive rainforest experience. Explore the deepest parts of Gunung Leuser National Park with Trekking Sumatra Expedition.
After breakfast, your licensed guide from Trekking Sumatra Expedition will collect you at 09:00 AM from your hotel lobby. You will immediately start your journey into the jungle of Gunung Leuser National Park to spot wild Sumatran orangutans. During this 6 to 7-hour trek, your guide will educate you on the local wildlife, flora, and fauna.
After a fresh lunch, you will continue trekking to see other wild animals (if you’re lucky, you may see Thomas’s leaf monkeys, white-handed gibbons, siamangs, long-tailed macaques, pig-tailed macaques, hornbills, peacocks, and monitor lizards) and learn about medicinal plants. In the late afternoon, your guide will set up camp next to a pristine river deep in the forest. Enjoy your free time swimming, helping prepare dinner, or learning jungle survival skills before sleeping to the sounds of nature.
Continue your incredible adventure deeper into the tropical rainforest, spotting wildlife throughout the day and learning more about the behaviors, lifestyles, and social skills of wild orangutans.
Tonight, we will camp deep in the forest at Jambur Batu Atas. This camp is just a short walk from a hidden waterfall with a deep, natural pool—perfect for relaxing and refreshing yourself after an exciting day of trekking.
After breakfast, we will follow the winding river paths deep into the jungle, keeping our eyes peeled for wild animals drinking along the water’s edge. Along the way, we will stop to collect fresh jungle vegetables for tonight’s dinner.
Our campsite for the night will be set up on the flat terrain of Mount Uning. Weather permitting, your guide will take you for a dusk walk around the Uning area, where you may be fortunate enough to spot wild deer and other rare wildlife.
After breakfast, the true expedition begins as we venture even deeper into the untouched jungle. We will walk through raw valleys, climb pristine hills, and cross small rivers to discover the hidden habitats where tigers, elephants, wild pigs, sun bears, and deer live. You will learn how these incredible species survive in the wild.
Camp will be set up tonight at Alur Perak, a popular natural watering hole frequented by local jungle wildlife.
Afterward, our team from Trekking Sumatra Expedition will prepare the traditional tubes for an exciting, fun-filled river rafting experience. We will splash downstream along the river, riding the currents all the way back to Bukit Lawang and directly to your hotel!
After breakfast, conclude your epic 5-day adventure with a short morning trek through the forest. Then, it’s time for the grand finale!
We will hop on our traditional tube rafts for a ‘jungle-style’ ride down the beautiful Bohorok River. You will splash downstream, passing stunning natural landscapes all the way back to the village and directly to your hotel. If you’re lucky, you might spot final groups of monkeys in the treetops, monitor lizards sunbathing on the banks, and exotic birds along the riverway!
Comfortable trekking shoes, water shoes, flip-flops (for the campsite), multiple changes of clothes, a long-sleeved sweater (essential for deep jungle nights), a towel, a large bottle of water, insect repellent, sun cream, swimwear, a torch/flashlight, and toilet paper or wet wipes.
This 5-day trek is our most challenging and rewarding package. It involves long walks, river crossings, and changing terrain.
