Then you will hike up again and walk for about one more hour and enjoy unforgettable viewpoints overlooking the whole valley of the Bohorok River and the Gunung Leuser National Park on the background.
After a jungle lunch, keep walking through the jungle to discover other amazing wildlife such as Long Tail Macaques, Pig Tail Macaques Thomas Leaf Monkeys and Monitor Lizard ! Stop at a small creek or at a waterfall and take a swim to refresh yourself. After this short break, continue trekking upstream to the Bohorok River and keep spotting amazing wildlife along the way.
