ITINERARY
DAY 1 ITINERARY
After breakfast, your guide will pick you up at the guesthouse around 9:00 AM to start your 3 day orangutan tour North Sumatra adventure. Begin with a scenic walk along the river, then ascend and cross lush rubber plantations as you make your way to the entrance of Gunung Leuser National Park.
Once inside the dense forest, you’ll have the amazing opportunity to spot semi-wild Sumatran orangutans. Some are quite accustomed to human presence, as this trek is popular, giving you plenty of time to watch them swing gracefully from trees or care for their babies. Moments like these are the heart of any 3 day orangutan tour North Sumatra, leaving memories that will stay with you forever.
Continue trekking through the rainforest, stopping to enjoy fresh tropical fruit snacks. Afterward, hike for another hour to reach an unforgettable viewpoint overlooking the entire Bohorok River Valley with Gunung Leuser National Park in the background—perfect for photos and soaking in the scenery.
After a delicious lunch in the jungle, continue your 3 day orangutan tour North Sumatra journey toward your campsite for the night. Along the way, keep an eye out for fascinating wildlife such as Long-Tailed Macaques, Pig-Tailed Macaques, Thomas’ Leaf Monkeys, and even Monitor Lizards.
By around 4:00 PM, arrive at your campsite, either near a waterfall or along the riverbank. Take time to relax with a cup of tea or coffee, and enjoy a refreshing swim while your guide sets up camp and prepares a flavorful dinner of curry, rice, and other local specialties. After dinner, unwind by the campfire—chat, play cards, or simply enjoy the soothing sounds of the jungle.
Finally, settle into your jungle tent, sheltered by a bamboo frame with plastic sheets, and drift off to sleep to the peaceful rhythms of the forest—a perfect first day of your 3 day orangutan tour North Sumatra adventure.
DAY 2 ITINERARY
