Experience three full days and two nights of trekking and camping deep in Leuser National Park, one of Sumatra’s most important orangutan habitats. Led by an experienced local guide, you will explore rainforest trails, search for wild orangutans and native wildlife, learn about medicinal plants and animal tracks, and discover remote rivers and waterfalls.
This is more than a short jungle walk. Your adventure includes local hospitality, freshly prepared meals, camping equipment, and traditional river tubing along the Bohorok River. You will also enjoy comfortable transfers between Medan and Bukit Lawang, with a local homestay before and after the trek.
We provide a personal and welcoming experience with clear safety briefings and responsible wildlife practices. Orangutans are wild animals, so sightings cannot be guaranteed, but the three day route gives you more time to explore their natural habitat. Choose this tour for an authentic, active, and memorable rainforest adventure.
