Two day trekking Bukit Lawang

If you are looking to experience the unforgettable wonders of the jungle at night, join us for a sleepover under the stars. 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. On our two-day trek you can experience trekking through the jungle, and rest your legs at a typical jungle camp, take your evening bath in the river and enjoy the company of our friendly and hospitable guides, who will make you a delicious feast for dinner and entertain you with their tales and probably some games of cards by the campfire! We are sure you will feel the magic of the forest and make friends for life after an unforgettable experience.

Typical Itinerary

Day One

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 and guests.

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.

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, just be sure to bring a change of clothes - just kick back, relax and soak up the jungle at night!

Day Two

When camp has been deconstructed you will continue your adventure, taking in a beautiful waterfall, stunning rainforest scenery and more wildlife. Our guides will be sure to take all of the rubbish home!

On your second day in the jungle you can expect to walk for around 2-4 hours and return to the village by land or enjoy the thrills of riding the rapids on one of our rubber inner-tube rafts!

Delicious Jungle food!
