On arrival day our driver will pick you up from the airport according to your flight schedule. You will the drive for about hours to Bukit Lawang. Our driver can stop for food, atm or sim cards. There is no atm in Bukit Lawang. Once you arrived our team will walk you to your accommodation by the river.

On our jungle tours you hike through an ancient rainforest. Experience this natural wonder up close, swing on a vine, listen to the sounds of the animals and breathe in the smell of the plants. And last but not least, you will see wonderful orangutans and other wildlife in the wild. You can be sure that this will be an unforgettable experience. But the hike is not a Sunday walk in the forest. You walk over uneven ground, climb over roots and tree trunks, and hike on steep paths where you have to hold on to roots and lianas. The humidity and the occasional rain shower add to it. But you will be rewarded with great jungle views as you see animals in the wild and swim in the river afterwards.

Jungle trekking in Bukit Lawang is suitable for all fitness levels and backgrounds. If you have any medical problems or injuries or are pregnant, please inform us in advance so that we can inform our guides and take precautions if necessary.

After breakfast, your guides will pick you up from your accommodation at 9 a.m. and you will go into the jungle together. You can leave your luggage in your accommodation. You will then hike for approximately 6 - 8 hours, including breaks, photo stops and lunch.

Your guides will tell you a lot about the jungle, its flora and fauna, and how the locals use some plants for traditional medicine.

After a while you will take a break and our guides will serve you some delicious fruits before continuing your jungle adventure. You will hopefully see more animals and have breathtaking viewpoints.
