TREK ITINERARY

After breakfast, your guide will pick you up at your guesthouse around 9:00 am. 

You will walk down the river, then go uphill and cross rubber plantations in the way to the entrance of the Gunung Leuser National Park.

Once you have entered the jungle, you should have some chance to spot semi-wild Sumatran Orangutans if you're lucky. Indeed, some of them are really used to see humans as these short treks are really famous. You will have time to observe them swinging in the trees and taking care of their babies ! You will remember this amazing scenery forever.  

Afterwards, you will keep trekking through the rainforest and stop for a yummy snack of tropical fruits. 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 Mac
aques 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. 

End your trek with a refreshing and fun experience : take the "jungle taxi" (rafting ride) along the Bohorok River to go back to Bukit Lawang! Your guide will bring you back to your guesthouse around 3:00 or 4:00 pm.
