See all (3)

Summary

EcoTravel's popular Orangutan Trek in Gunung Leuser National Park is an unforgettable and authentic tour to experience the real Sumatran rainforest. We recommend this 2-day trek for sportive travellers who want to hike in fantastic tropical nature and experience the nocturnal life of the jungle.  This adventurous 2-day trek starts from our EcoTravel office at 8:30 am. During this jungle trek you will hike in a small group of up to a maximum of 6 EcoTravel guests while having a big chance to see wild animals in their natural habitat - especially the last Sumatran Orangutans. Around 15:00 pm you will reach our campsite along a river bank where you will spend the night. The next morning you will have the opportunity to visit a beautiful waterfall before a “jungle taxi” will take you back to Bukit Lawang by traditional tube-rafting down the Bohorok River. Return to Bukit Lawang by 14:30 pm. We provide double tents, mattress, pillows and sleeping bags for a comfortable overnight stay in the jungle. With an innovative water filter we increase our guests’ health and wellbeing. And our delicious, freshly prepared meals are memorable add ons to kick your energy for walking in the wild.

Why take this tour?

EcoTravel’s Orangutan trek is the most popular option to discover the Sumatran jungle. On a 2-day jungle trek you will have the big chance of seeing Sumatran orangutans and other wildlife up-close in their natural habitat. In the evening enjoy a delicious “jungle dinner“ on your campsite, then dream away to the melodies of the rainforest and wake up in the morning to the sounds of birds and monkeys. After your jungle trek your “jungle taxi” will take you back to your accommodation in Bukit Lawang by traditional tube-rafting down Bohorok River. Unlike other providers in Bukit Lawang, our sustainable jungle treks and selected Sumatra tours focus on quality and safety rather than quantity. This is why our team has been awarded several times over the past few years e.g. “Eco Friendly Tour Operator of the Year 2018”, “Travel & Hospitality Award Winner” and received the “Hall Of Fame Status” (2019) and "Travellers Choice" (2020) on TripAdvisor.
