Bukit Lawang 2 days orangutan trek
Our 2 day/1 night trek is ideal for those travelers who want
to spend a night in the jungle soaking up the sounds of the jungle and the
river. The package includes meals, all camping equipment and traditional
’jungle style’ rafting back to Bukit Lawang.
Day One
After breakfast, our guide will pick up you at 9.00am from
your guesthouse/hotel in Bukit Lawang and you will start your journey into the
jungle of Gunung Leuser National Park to see orangutans. On your trek (6-7
hours), your guide will educate you on the local wildlife, flora and fauna you
may encounter in Gunung Leuser. After lunch, you will continue your trek to see
other wildlife (if you’re lucky you may see the Thomas leaf monkey,
white-handed gibbon, black gibbon, long-tailed macaque, pig-tailed macaque,
hornbills, peacocks and monitor lizards) and learn about the trees and plants
that can be used in traditional medicine. Bukit lawang Jungle Trekking - 2

Late afternoon your guide will select a suitable spot next
to the river to set-up camp. You are then free to enjoy the fresh water of the
Bohorok river, swim, help prepare dinner or even go fishing. After dinner
weather permitting, our team will prepare a bonfire and the guides will entertain
you with their jungle skills, games and songs before you settle down to sleep
surrounded by the sounds of the jungle and river. Bukit lawang Jungle
