ITINERARY
DAY 1 ITINERARY
On this morning, after a delicious breakfast at your guesthouse, your guide will pick you up around 9:00 AM to start your 4 Day Trekking Orangutan Sumatra adventure. Begin with a peaceful walk along the river, then ascend through vast rubber plantations toward the entrance of Gunung Leuser National Park, a forest teeming with rare flora and fauna.
Once inside, you may be lucky enough to spot semi-wild Sumatran orangutans. Some are used to human presence, as this trail is popular, giving you the chance to watch them swing gracefully from tree branches, care for their babies, and move elegantly through the dense rainforest. Moments like these are the highlight of any 4 Day Trekking Orangutan Sumatra, leaving memories that last a lifetime.
Continue trekking through the jungle, pausing to enjoy fresh tropical fruit snacks. Then, hike for about another hour to reach a summit with breathtaking views of the Bohorok River valley and the majestic Gunung Leuser National Park—perfect for photos and soaking in the scenery.
After lunch amidst the serene forest, continue your 4 Day Trekking Orangutan Sumatra journey toward your campsite. Along the way, you may encounter Long-tailed Macaques, Pig-tailed Macaques, Thomas Leaf Monkeys, and even Monitor Lizards. Around 4:00 PM, arrive at your campsite, located near a waterfall or riverbank. Take time to relax, sip tea or coffee, and refresh yourself with a swim in the clear river.
Your guide will prepare a delicious forest meal with curry, rice, and other local specialties. After dinner, unwind around the campfire—chat, play cards, or simply enjoy the sounds of the jungle. Sleep soundly in your bamboo-framed tent, sheltered by a plastic sheet, as the natural forest sounds lull you into a peaceful night—the perfect first day of your 4 Day Trekking Orangutan Sumatra adventure.
DAY 2 ITINERARY
After a restful night, wake up in the fresh rainforest, ready for the second day of your 4 Day Trekking Orangutan Sumatra adventure. Enjoy a homemade breakfast to fuel up before continuing your journey.
Today’s trek takes you along more jungle trails, with about 3 hours of walking. Pause briefly to observe wildlife that may appear along the way. During lunch, soak in the peacefulness of the forest, far from the noise of the outside world, surrounded by the calming sounds of nature. After lunch, continue trekking for another 3 hours toward your second campsite.
Upon arrival at the campsite, relax and take in the serene surroundings, or enjoy a refreshing swim in the river or waterfall, depending on your location. A traditional dinner will be prepared around the campfire, while your guide shares fascinating stories about the forest and its nocturnal creatures. Rest well and prepare for the exciting and challenging third day of your 4 Day Trekking Orangutan Sumatra adventure.
DAY 3 ITINERARY
On the third morning, after two nights of jungle adventure, you’ll truly feel like a seasoned explorer on your 4 Day Trekking Orangutan Sumatra journey. Start the day with a hearty breakfast prepared at the campsite to recharge your energy for a longer trek ahead.
Today’s trek will take 4 to 6 hours, leading you deeper into the forest. Along the way, pause to admire the beauty of nature and observe the incredible flora and fauna. You’ll get closer to the jungle’s wildlife, including eight species of monkeys found in Gunung Leuser National Park, such as Sumatran orangutans, Long-tailed Macaques, Pig-tailed Macaques, Thomas Leaf Monkeys, and Silver Leaf Monkeys. You might also spot White-handed Gibbons, Siamangs, or the rare Slow Loris, along with spectacular birds like the Great Argus and Hornbills soaring overhead.
Lunch will be served in the lush forest, with fresh tropical fruits for dessert. Afterward, continue trekking toward your new campsite. Upon arrival, relax and enjoy a refreshing swim in the river before dinner.
In the evening, gather around the campfire for a traditional meal, then choose to rest or join a short night trek to observe nocturnal animals. This rare experience allows you to witness the hidden life of the forest that awakens after dark—a unique highlight of your 4 Day Trekking Orangutan Sumatra adventure.
