For a more authentic jungle experience, we recommend to book this jungle trekking tour. It brings you deeper into the Gunung Leuser National Park with one sleepover in our jungle camp plus the magical rainforest sounds will wake you up.
Chances to spot wildlife are higher too! (gibbons, thomas leaf monkeys, longtail and pigtail macaques, flying squirrels, sumatran peacocks, hornbills and also wild orangutans might cross your path)
Your well experienced guide will explain you many things about Sumatra’s rainforest and its wildlife. And he will show you many different kind of plants and flowers (such as medical plants).
Itinerary:
You will hike around 6-7 hours each morning and afternoon with a snack and lunch break, constantly looking for wildlife and passing fantastic scenic spots in the rainforest such as beautiful hidden waterfalls and natural pools. Your guide will tell you many amazing and interesting facts about local flora and fauna, or the medical use of some plants, or the history of the national park.
Late afternoon on Day 1 you will arrive at our campsite close to a river where you have time to swim in fresh and clear river water and relax and enjoy a cup of tea/coffee whilst the team will prepare night camp and an amazing jungle dinner with open campfire.
Enjoy fresh yummy local food during the whole trek!
And one of the highlights of our tours, fall asleep and wake up to the magical sounds of the rainforest!
