DAY 1
Kick off your morning with a hearty breakfast before your guide meets you at the guesthouse at 9:00 AM. The adventure starts with a peaceful walk along the river, followed by a trek through vibrant rubber plantations, gradually leading you into the breathtaking Gunung Leuser National Park.
As you step into the jungle, the wilderness comes alive. If you’re lucky, you’ll witness Sumatran Orangutans in their natural habitat—swinging through the canopy, sometimes with their playful infants. This mesmerizing experience will leave an indelible mark on your heart.
The hike continues deeper into the rainforest, with stops to savor fresh tropical fruits while surrounded by nature’s symphony. A climb to a scenic viewpoint rewards you with sweeping views of the Bohorok River valley, framed by the lush expanse of Gunung Leuser. It’s a moment of pure serenity.
After a forest lunch, you’ll head toward your campsite, possibly spotting Long-tailed Macaques, Pig-tailed Macaques, Thomas Leaf Monkeys, or even a stealthy Monitor Lizard along the way. By 4 PM, you’ll arrive at your riverside or waterfall-adjacent camp. Unwind with a hot drink, take a dip in the pristine waters, and savor a mouthwatering dinner of fragrant curry, rice, and local specialties.
As night falls, retreat to your sturdy jungle tent, lulled to sleep by the forest’s gentle whispers—a truly magical experience.
DAY 2
Fuel up with a light breakfast before setting off to explore the rainforest’s hidden depths. The trek unveils more exotic wildlife, each turn offering new surprises.
After three hours of hiking, enjoy lunch amidst the jungle’s chorus. Then, journey to your next campsite, where you can cool off in the river or under a cascading waterfall. As evening sets in, gather around the campfire for a hearty meal and captivating jungle tales from your guide.
For the brave, a night trek reveals the forest’s elusive nocturnal inhabitants—like the wide-eyed slow loris or the haunting siamang—an experience unique to this wild paradise.
DAY 3
Today we leave the regular trekking paths of Bukit Lawang and cross the Berkail River into real wilderness — no trails, no signal, just rainforest.
Wildlife here is truly wild and shy. We may see many animals, or only signs of their presence. Nothing is guaranteed — and that’s what makes every encounter special.
Guided by a former deep-jungle hunter turned conservationist, we learn survival skills like fishing with handmade tools, finding clean water, identifying edible plants, and building simple shelters,
This is raw jungle life.
DAY 4
Another full day deep in the rainforest. We move quietly, watching for movement and listening to the forest.
We might spot wild elephants, monkeys, hornbills — or even tiger tracks. Sometimes the jungle is generous, sometimes it keeps its secrets.
In the afternoon, we build our shelter, prepare a hot meal, and relax far from civilization, Simple. Wild. Real.
DAY 5
After breakfast, we cross the river again and return toward the primary rainforest near Bukit Lawang.
Here, animals may be slightly more used to human presence, increasing our chances of sightings — but again, wildlife is never guaranteed.
We reach our riverside campsite, swim, relax, and enjoy another campfire dinner.
DAY 6
We enjoy one last jungle breakfast in Gunung Leuser National Park. There’s an optional short morning trek before heading back.
Then we return to Bukit Lawang by traditional tube rafting on the river — or by foot, depending on conditions.
A true rainforest adventure comes to an end — wild, unpredictable, and unforgettable.
