Bukit Lawang 3 days wild adventure
Our 3 days/2 nights trek allows you to travel deeper into
the jungle, increasing your chances of seeing animals in their natural habitat.
Camp next to the river, fall asleep to the sounds of the jungle, swim in
waterfalls and sing songs around the campfire. All this awaits you on your
trek.
Day One
After breakfast, our guide will pick up you at 8.30 am 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 that
you will 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 3 days jungle
