Three Day Trek in Bukit Lawang
If you are looking to experience the unforgettable wonders of the jungle both day and night, join us for a deeper expedition lasting 3 days and 2 nights. The longer you spend with us in the jungle the deeper we can go and the more opportunities there are to see some of the more elusive Sumatran wildlife, especially elephants and tigers!
Typical Itinerary
Day One
Thomas Leaf Monkeys are very inquisitive.
As with all of our treks, our expert guides will meet you at your accommodation after an early breakfast. We like to set out early to maximise your chances of seeing the wildlife wake up and avoid other tourists.
Wanda’s fishing may not fill your belly but will certainly be enjoyable!
Once in the National Park, we will take you away from the well-trodden paths and begin our trek where we can teach you all about the local wildlife and fauna. Some of the animals we often expect to see include; Sumatran orangutans, Thomas Leaf monkey, Silver Leaf Monkey, Long-tailed macaque, pig-tailed macaque, Great Argus pheasant, black gibbon, Siamang, White-handed gibbon and Rhinoceros hornbills. In addition, the area is also home to Sumatran elephants, tigers and sun bears as well as hundreds of bird, insect, amphibian and reptile species.
With frequent stops to enjoy the unique jungle atmosphere we will provide you with a fruit snack and a traditional local lunch of nasi goreng (fried rice) before we reach our camp location for the night. Expect to walk for around 5-6 hours in total on your first day.
Jungle jacuzzi
While our guides prepare you a delicious local meal for dinner you can relax and unwind by the slow-moving crystal-clear river. Float around on a tube, try a spot of fishing, read a book or join in with the cooking! There is plenty of opportunity to enjoy your jungle escape.
When the sun goes down you can rest or be entertained by our guides and their stories, read a book by the fire or play some cards. Everything will be provided for your overnight stay, so just kick back relax and soak up the jungle sounds!
Wake up to stunning jungle scenery.
Day Two
After a restful night, wake up to the sounds of the jungle, including some gibbon song if you are lucky! Your guides will be up with the sun to prepare you a delicious breakfast while you enjoy your morning.
When camp has been deconstructed you will continue your adventure, taking in a beautiful waterfall, stunning rainforest scenery and more wildlife.
On your second day in the jungle you can expect to walk for around 4-5 hours. As you venture deeper into the forest you will have more opportunities to see wild orangutans, Siamang gibbons, white-handed gibbons and bears.
Lucky trekkers may see tracks and signs of elephants and tigers or even catch a glimpse of them in the flesh!
In the late afternoon you will arrive at your second camp location where you can cool off in the river and relax for the evening while your guides prepare your meal.

Frequent rest stops are always appreciated by tired trekkers.
Day Three
Wake up feeling relaxed and refreshed and listen to the sounds of the rainforest far away from civilisation. After a delicious breakfast prepared by your guides, you can choose to walk again for around 2-4 hours or take the exhilarating raft back to the village on the inner tube raft made by your guides. What a fantastic way to end the adventure of a lifetime!
