tour itinerary

Day 1 ( pick up )

Our licensed driver will pick you up at the airport or hotel around Medan to Bukit Lawang, it takes about 4 hours by car. Your hotel is located in Bukit Lawang, a village on the border of Leuser National Park, hotel is comfortable and eco-friendly with a clean restaurant and healthy food. At 7 PM after dinner, our local guide will greet you at the restaurant and give you all the information about jungle trekking.

Day 2 ( jungle trekking and camping )

Jungle trekking will start from the hotel at 07:30 after breakfast. We will walk to observe the wildlife in the national park. The terrain of the national park is hilly makes the trekking challenging; we will go up and down hills and the humidity in this rainforest is also very high.

Orangutans are arboreal animals; they spend a lot of time in trees. They search for fruit in the forest trees, and fruit is their main food besides leaves and termites. Our local guide will take you on an adventure; you will be led to find fruit-bearing trees in the jungle to spot orangutans. This is a world you have never seen before, except maybe in movies. Giant trees, towering roots, and the sounds of animals in the silence. Besides orangutans, you might also see monkeys, hornbills and peacocks, or gibbons.

We will also take you to our favorite spot in the heart of the jungle to relax and enjoy lunch, making coffee or tea.

We will arrive at the camping site in the afternoon around 4 PM, depending on the weather and physical condition.
The camping site is still located in the middle of the jungle, we provide comfortable and safe tents, including sleeping mats, blankets, and mosquito nets, We also cooked dinner and breakfast at the campsite.

Day 3 ( traditional rafting back to hotel )

At 8 o’clock after breakfast, we will walk from the camping site to the river to go rafting back to the hotel, maybe we will walk for about 4 hours, from the camping site to the river we might still be able to see orangutans and other animals.

The traditional rafting back to the hotel takes 30 minutes; we will arrive at the hotel at 1 or 2 PM.
Starting from 5 PM, we will give you a traditional massage for stretching after trekking activities, this will take about an hour.

Day 4 ( tour end drop off to airport or hotel in medan )

At the latest by 2 PM, we will take you to the airport or hotel in Medan.

tour description

DAY 1

We will pick you up at the Kualanamu airport or hotel in Medan, it takes 4 hours by our conditioning car to reach Bukit Lawang(Our driver is licensed and experienced.). After check in at the hotel, at 8 o’clock after dinner there will be an introduction session with the local guide and the trekking plan, preparation is very important

day 2

Jungle trekking starts at 7 AM after breakfas (The start time of the trek may be adjusted to accommodate delays or jet lag) we will move to the national park gate in about 30 minutes from hotel passing through local community plantations. Trekking duration on first day is 6 to 7 hour depends on the weather and fatigue factors, the altitude may reach 200 to 400 above sea level, the trekking path goes up and down the hills

Imagine encountering orangutans as they swing on lianas; the orange color of the orangutans among the green leaves will mesmerize you, possibly also encounters with several types of monkeys such as macaques, langurs or gibbons, and birds like hornbills and peacocks(Remember, this is wild life, it’s not always easy to find them)

We will have lunch in the jungle, it’s very unique, we call it the “jungle restaurant”, lunch under the forest canopy and giant trees with the sounds of animals, There are also tropical fruits as a dessert(maybe there are some fruits you have never seen before)

We will arrive at the campsite around 3 or 4 in the afternoon, Located in a valley and near a small river, we can relax and enjoy nature with a cup of tea or coffee, The river water is very clean, maybe you can take a dip

Dinner will begin when it gets dark, between 6 and 7 PM. If it doesn’t rain, an outdoor dinner will be very memorable and romantic, with only candles and stars, and maybe fireflies will fly around us. Our jungle chef will serve traditional food cooked in a tent, perhaps chicken rendang, curry, and others. After dinner, maybe we can share experiences and enjoy the peaceful night of the jungle, or go to sleep. We have prepared sleeping mats, blankets, and mosquito nets

And believe me, the jungle never sleeps; your sleep will be accompanied by the sounds of nocturnal animals unfamiliar to your ears, just enjoy it

day 3

The trekking duration on the second day is 3 to 4 hours, we will move to the Bohorok River and start after breakfast

Anything can be happen in the wild; if we’re lucky, we might still encounter orangutans and other animals on the second day

After arriving at the river, we can swim before the traditional rafting; the river is quite deep and clean. After packing, we will raft down to the hotel, it’s take 30 minutes until hotel, We will arrive at the hotel at 2 or 3 in the afternoon

Traditional massage before dinner, usually between 6 PM and 7 PM, is very good for stretching muscles after trekking activities.
