Itinerary :
Day 1: Dazhong Backpacker’s Hostel – BUKIT LAWANG
We will pick you up and then drive about 3 hours to Bukit Lawang, a small tourist village on the edge of Gunung Leuser National Park. Bukit Lawang is the most popular and the easiest accessible entrance to the Park.
The park is one of the largest National Parks, straddling two provinces and containing over 800,000 hectares of virgin rainforest. It is the home of the Sumatran Orangutan, Sumatran Elephant, White-handed Gibbon, and many more.

Day 2: Jungle Trekking & Overnight at Campsite
After breakfast, you will start a jungle trek to explore the National Park. You will follow 6–7 hours of trekking while searching for Sumatran Orangutans and other tropical flora and fauna.
It is not a flat walk, with some ups and downs. You have a big chance to see gibbons, Thomas leaf monkeys, long-tailed macaques, pigtail macaques, squirrels, Great Argus, and hornbills. An orangutan might even cross your way.
