6D5N Deep Jungle Trek
A private 6D5N jungle trek deep in Gunung Leuser National Park.
Spot orangutans, build shelters, hunt food, and sleep under the stars far away from the crowd.
Day1
Enter Gunung Leuser NP
Included: guide, cook, entrance fees, jungle camp, meals: L D
We start our 6D5N Deep jungle trek in Bukit Lawang at 9 am after breakfast. Our 5-7 hour trek into Gunung Leuser National Park will feature sightings of wildlife like gibbons, leaf monkeys, longtail and pigtail macaques, flying squirrels, Sumatran peacocks, hornbills, and of course orangutans.
Our guide will also teach us about medicinal plants and their practical uses. In the afternoon we head towards our campsite for rest, a hot drink, and a refreshing bath in a clean stream. We end the day with a candle light dinner and an overnight stay in the jungle camp.
Day2
Jungle Trekking
Included: guide, cook, entrance fees, jungle camp, meals: B L D
Waking up in a primary rainforest is magical, with the sounds of birds and excited gibbons filling the fresh morning air.
After breakfast, we embark on a 5-6 hour trek towards our next campsite, usually “Aras Pinang”. Along the way, we savor nature and wildlife, sample various ‘jungle-food’, and learn to recognize and use them. We enjoy a mid-way lunch in the jungle.
At the camp, we can relax and swim in a fresh jungle river, ending the day with a campfire dinner
Day3
DEEP JUNGLE TREK
Included: Guide, cook, entrance fees, overnight in constructed tent, meals: B L D
Today we venture beyond the paved jungle around Bukit Lawang, crossing the Berkail jungle river into the deep jungle – devoid of trails, humans, and signals. This is the animal kingdom in its wildest form. And because wild animals are shy and elusive, each sighting becomes even more magical.
This area is outside the territorial expertise of Bukit Lawang jungle guides. From here on, the tour leader is an ex-poacher that lived for years in the deep jungle. Now they use their deep jungle expertise to share its wonders and promote conservation.
Enhance your survival skills by fishing with handmade gear, building shelters, identifying edible fruits, and finding clean water alongside our staff.
Day4
DEEP JUNGLE TREK
Included: Guide, cook, entrance fees, overnight in constructed tent, meals: B L D
We embark on another full day of deep jungle adventure, hoping to spot wild Sumatran elephants or even tiger tracks. The unpredictability of the wild ensures a unique experience, far from the hustle and bustle.
In this untouched environment, we can immerse ourselves in pure nature, clear our minds of distractions, and appreciate the beauty of simplicity and Mother Earth.
In the afternoon, we’ll find a strategic spot to build our shelter, rest, have fun, and share the joy of a hot meal together.
Day5
DEEP JUNGLE TREK
Included: Guide, cook, entrance fees, overnight in constructed tent, meals: B L D
We start our day with breakfast and a final cup of coffee, enjoying the tranquil atmosphere of the deep jungle. As we prepare to return to the paved jungle area, we cross the Berkail river again, continuing our wildlife exploration in the primary rainforest.
Having experienced the deep jungle, we may notice now from their behaviour how the animals here are more accustomed to humans. We trek towards one of our campsites, where we can rest, take a swim, and enjoy a campfire dinner.
Day6
Jungle trekking & Tube rafting
Included: guide, cook, entrance fees, tube rafting, meals: B
For the final time, we savor a jungle breakfast in Gunung Leuser National Park. We have the option for one more morning jungle trek before making our way back to Bukit Lawang.
Our tube rafts will be ready for an exciting adventure on the jungle river. Alternatively, we can return by foot, depending on our preference and the river conditions.
Price:€480 per person
Minimum 2 person
