Itinerary
Your tour guide will meet you at Junia Guesthouse at 9am after breakfast. Together you will walk, slowly, towards the entrance of Gunung Leuser National park. As you are walking your guide will then teach you about the massive variety of wildlife and fauna in the National Park. Once you reach the national park entrance, your search for wildlife begins. You will have a chance to see Thomas Leaf Monkeys, Pig Tail and Long Tail Macaques, Hornbills, Gibbons and of course, semi-wild and wild orangutans.
You will have a break after around 1 or 2 hours for some delicious local fruit and another at around 1pm for your jungle lunch, some Nasi Goreng. After lunch, you will trek for another couple of hours, arriving at your campsite beside a large stream of the Bohorok River where you can relax and refresh in the crystal clear water with some coffee or tea and biscuits. As night falls you will enjoy some delicious local food with a candle lit dinner. Your guide will teach you some jungle stories, tricks and games.
On day 2, you will wake up surrounded by the sounds of the jungle. To start the day, you can go for a swim/wash in the river. You’ll start the day with some tea or coffee with biscuits and then at 9am have some breakfast.
At around 10am, you will have a short morning trek to look for some more wildlife. During your trek you will stop for some fruit and lunch. After lunch, you can optionally take a Jungle Taxi back to your Guest House - traditional tube rafting. Otherwise, you will trek back through the jungle.
