5-Day Jungle Trek DESCRIPTION

DAY 1

Your English-speaking guide will pick you up at your hotel in the morning, and together you’ll start an unforgettable 5-day jungle trekking. You’ll cross a river and walk uphill for a while before reaching Jungle Point, where your guide will share his knowledge about animals and plants within the rainforest.

At noon, you’ll have lunch at a picturesque spot where you can dine on nasi goreng, a famous Indonesian national dish. After lunch, you head uphill to a fantastic view point where you can see the lush rainforest and the Bohorok River below. After a short break, you continue trekking upstream to look out for more wildlife and more species of plants and trees.
You might be lucky and catch sight of gibbons, Pigtail macaques, Thomas Leaf Monkeys, flying squirrels, Sumatran peacocks or hornbills!

After 4:00 pm you’ll arrive at a campsite near the river, where you’ll stay overnight. There you can swim in the river and relax with a cup of coffee or tea while your 5-star Michelin chef prepares dinner with local ingredients. The perfect ending to the day is experiencing the magical night in the middle of the jungle. You can play games around a campfire while listening to special sounds of nature and gazing at stars. Mattress, blankets, pillows are available in the one million-star jungle tent.
DAY 2

You awaken to the sounds of birds and monkeys. After breakfast, you are ready for trekking into the rainforest. As you venture deeper into the forest, your chances of seeing wildlife increase.

You may also see other rarer species of primates like slow lorises, siamangs and white-handed gibbons.

After lunch, your guides will prepare a tasty meal while you take a selfie. You’ll pass through scenic areas of the national park as you walk to the site.

At the campsite there is a jungle swimming pool with a waterfall where you can take a refreshing swim and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Sumatra’s Leuser National Park.

In the evening, play cards or sing around the campfire with your guides. Or maybe you want to go to sleep early so you’re ready for an exciting day tomorrow.
