Over the course of this 3-day trekking tour in Bukit Lawang, nature's most magnificent treasures will unfold before your eyes.

A well-prepared jungle lunch enjoyed at elevated vantage points will gift you panoramic views of the rainforest canopy and ample opportunities to relax and absorb the atmosphere of the Bukit Lawang jungle.

Later in the day, after around 3 more hours of trekking, a riverside jungle campsite beckons, offering a cooling oasis where you can enjoy a refreshing swim.

In the evening, enjoy traditional jungle games, card matches, and fireside songs with your guides, creating memorable moments under the stars of the Sumatra rainforest.

On the final day, a lighter 2-hour jungle trek awaits after a hearty breakfast. Alternatively, you may choose to stay and enjoy the tranquil paradise of the campsite, where the river and cascading waterfall offer a peaceful retreat.

After a leisurely lunch, a unique journey back to Bukit Lawang begins: the famous jungle taxi rafting experience, using a giant inner tube to float safely along the river’s gentle currents.
