🌿 One Day Jungle Trek – Bukit Lawang

Our One Day Jungle Trek is the most popular choice for travelers who want to explore deeper into the rainforest and have more time to enjoy the beauty of Gunung Leuser National Park. With a full day in the jungle, you’ll have a greater chance to see wild orangutans and other fascinating animals, discover hidden jungle trails, and immerse yourself in the magical atmosphere of one of the world’s richest ecosystems.

🕒 Duration

  • Around 6–7 hours trekking in the rainforest

👣 What You Will Experience

Your adventure begins in the morning as you step into the dense jungle accompanied by your licensed local guide. Along the way, you will learn about the unique flora and fauna of the rainforest, spot exotic birds, butterflies, and monkeys, and of course, search for the majestic orangutans.

With more time to trek, this journey allows you to explore deeper parts of the jungle, away from the busier paths. This increases your chances of spotting not only orangutans but also other wildlife such as Thomas leaf monkeys, gibbons, hornbills, monitor lizards, peacocks, and sometimes even the shy Siamang (black gibbon) with its echoing call.

During the trek, we will take breaks to enjoy fresh tropical fruits while resting under the shade of giant rainforest trees. Your guide will also explain traditional jungle survival skills and the medicinal uses of plants that local people have relied on for generations.

At midday, you’ll enjoy a simple jungle lunch prepared by your guide before continuing the trek through hidden trails, small hills, and rivers.

At the end of the trek, you can either walk back through the forest or choose the exciting tubing experience — floating down the Bohorok River on big rubber tubes back to Bukit Lawang, a refreshing way to finish your day.
