5 Days Sumatra Orangutan Adventure

5 Days Sumatra Orangutan Adventure

Our 5 Days Treks

Start exactly like all our other treks at 9 am in Bukit Lawang. Your guide will pick you up at your guesthouse and bring you to the entrance of Gunung Leuser National Park, where the chances of spotting the released semi wild Orangutans are very high! After you enjoyed this special moment with our close relatives, your guide will take you off the beaten path during your trek. 

 

We will plan the route a few days before your trek starts according on what you wish to discover and experience and depending on current weather conditions. You have the possibilities to explore caves and waterfalls, search for stunning views over the mountains of Gunung Leuser National Park and – if you are lucky – see the trails and footsteps of wild forest elephants!

 

You will spend the days trekking for around 6 hours, looking for animals and special plants. Your guides will always look out for a beautiful place where you can stop for lunch break to restore your energy. After arriving at the campsite in the afternoon, you have time to rest, take a swim or discover the area. Every day you will arrive at different places to set up camp. Only he first night will be in one of our prepared solid campsites which are stuffed with mattresses, mosquito nets and cooking equipment. After you enter the deeper jungle on the second day, your guides will built the campsite by themselves and therefore carry a lot of equipment with them. The spots will always be close to a stream or river as you need clean water for cooking and refilling your bottles but also to enjoy a good swim after the trek. At nighttime you will have homemade jungle dinner, time to chat with your guides, sitting around candles and a bonfire and play very funny jungle games. Or – if you still have a lot of energy – you can go for a night walk with your guide to spot nocturnal animals!  

 

If you are interested our guides will always be happy to show you some of their survival tricks in the rainforest. Which plants and animals are poisonous? How to recognise weather footprints are fresh or already a few days old? Which plants to use for cooking, which ones for medical treatments? How to find your way through the wilderness when you loose track and many more things… After that 5 days you will be perfectly able to find your way back home alone! Just kidding – our jungle taxi made of big rubber tires will bring you back safely and joyful on the Bahrorok River.

 

This trek is perfect for you, if you have enough time to spend 5 days and 4 nights in the jungle and if you are sporty enough to climb up and down steep hills on your way through the rainforest. Have you always wished to experience the real jungle? Then join our 5 days trek!
