In this fun and adventurous 3-day jungle trek, we will get to go deeper into the tropical rainforest of Gunung Leuser National Park – exploring the unique vegetation and wildlife of this region. You will stay overnight at two different peaceful campsites in the jungle. One is a hidden river-side camping ground and another is by the hot spring.
On the trail your ‘jungle eyes and ears’ are trained in spotting various endemic plants and listening to bird-sounds. You also have a big chance of crossing the ways of the White-handed Gibbons, Thomas Leaf Monkeys, Pigtail macaques, Sumatran peacocks and of course, the wild Orangutans! As we will be hacking our way through overgrowth and steep trails, you’d need to be physically fit to tackle the challenging jungle!
