The trekking path goes up and down the hills and make very sweaty
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)

When darkness comes, we will have dinner by candlelight, with traditional food, and the darkness of the forest; perhaps fireflies will fly around us. In the tent, there are sleeping mats, mosquito nets, pillows, and blankets
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
