Ethical Jungle Trekking Adventure : 2 Days 1 Night Eco Friendly Jungle Trekking

• Day 1 – Into the Heart of the Jungle

After breakfast, your guide will pick you up from your guesthouse at 09:00 am and lead you into the rainforest of Gunung Leuser National Park in search of wild orangutans.

During the trek, your guide will share knowledge about the local wildlife, flora, and fauna. After lunch, continue trekking to encounter more wildlife such as Thomas leaf monkeys, white-handed gibbons, black gibbons, long-tailed macaques, pig-tailed macaques, hornbills, peacocks, and monitor lizards. You will also learn about trees and plants used in traditional medicine.

In the late afternoon, your guide will select a riverside spot to set up camp. You’ll have time to swim, help prepare dinner, or even try fishing.

After dinner, if the weather is good, our team will prepare a bonfire. Enjoy games, songs, and jungle stories before falling asleep to the sounds of the forest and river.

• Day 2 – Wildlife Encounters & Jungle Tubing

Wake up to the calls of the rainforest and enjoy a warm homemade breakfast in this unforgettable setting.

After breakfast, continue trekking for another 4–5 hours, venturing deeper in search of wildlife such as the white-handed gibbon, jungle turtles, and—with great luck—the magnificent Great Argus bird, famous for its plumage and mating dance.

Enjoy one last jungle lunch before your adventure ends with the “Jungle Taxi”—a fun tubing ride on oversized rubber rings down the Bohorok River. Float past scenic jungle views and wave to locals on the riverbanks as you make your way back to Bukit Lawang.

Your guide will bring you back to your guesthouse around 2:00–4:00 pm
