One-Day Jungle Trek

Overview

The one-day trek is our most popular short option for travellers who want to go deeper than a village walk. After a morning pickup you'll spend five to six hours following jungle trails through Gunung Leuser National Park.

It's a genuine rainforest day — steep in places, rewarding throughout — with a fresh lunch served in the forest before you head back in the afternoon.

Highlights

• Around 5–6 hours of guided trekking
• Strong chances of seeing wild orangutans and several monkey species
• Fresh fruit and enjoy lunch in the jungle
• Traditional tube rafting back to the village
• Return to Bukit Lawang in the afternoon
