Tangkahan Elephant Washing & Trekking Itinerary

We depart from Bukit Lawang towards Tangkahan at 09:00 AM. Upon arrival, you can relax while enjoying the crystal-clear river waters—a perfect spot for swimming. For those interested, there are hidden hot springs to explore, and you might even spot large wild fish in the river.

The highlight of the day is the Tangkahan elephant washing activity. For those seeking more adventure, we also offer elephant trekking. Please contact us in advance for booking as these experiences require early reservations.
