The 5-Day Jungle Expedition offers a truly unique and adventurous experience deep in the tropical rainforest. Over five days and four nights, you’ll stay at different jungle camps inside Gunung Leuser National Park, trekking along rivers and hills while learning traditional jungle survival skills. With a bit of luck, you may even spot the elusive Sumatran tiger!
This trek is physically demanding and requires a high level of fitness, as you’ll hike for several hours each day and carry your own equipment. In return, you’ll experience the most remote and wild corners of the Sumatran rainforest
