F.A.Q.

The terrain is not always flat, with elevations ranging from 200 to 400 meters above sea level. The trekking duration is approximately 6 to 7 hours per day

We do not guarantee that we will always see orangutans during the trekking. There is an 95% chance of encountering orangutans in the wild

We encountered several types of monkeys, gibbons, peacocks, and hornbills. During the longer trek, we met a group of wild elephants on the 5-day, 4-night journey

Only 1 out of 100 local people has ever contracted malaria, we can say our tour is safe from malaria disease

There are venomous cobras, scorpions, and centipedes. However, there has never been an accident due to animal bites on our tour

The minimum age for our tour is 8 years, this is a safe age for trekking that requires an overnight stay in the jungle

Children under 8 years old, we organize trekking for 3 hours to  1 day trek

Whenever you have time, you can take our tour

September to December is the rainy season. The weather in the rainforest is difficult to predict. Even during the dry season, rainfall remains quite high due to climate change. However, rain does not significantly disrupt tour activities
