    Ketambe is part of the Gunung Leuser National Park in Aceh, Sumatra — one of the best places in Indonesia to see wild orangutans and experience true rainforest adventure away from mass tourism.
    All tours include transportation from Ketambe or nearby areas, certified jungle guides, permits, meals, camping equipment (for overnight treks), and drinking water.
    The 1D tour and 1D trek focus on short wildlife spotting and local exploration, while the 2D1N to 4D3N treks offer a deeper jungle experience, with camping, river crossings, and higher chances of seeing orangutans and other wildlife.
    Sightings are not guaranteed as they live in the wild, but our local guides are highly experienced, and chances of seeing orangutans and other primates are very high in this region.
    The trails range from easy to moderate, depending on the package. Expect humid weather, slippery paths, and river crossings — suitable for travelers with reasonable fitness levels.
    You’ll stay in simple jungle camps near rivers or forest clearings. Tents, sleeping mats, and mosquito nets are provided for your comfort.
    Our team prepares freshly cooked local meals — rice, vegetables, tempeh, eggs, noodles, and fruit. Vegetarian or vegan meals can be arranged upon request.
    No need — we provide all essential camping and cooking gear. You only need personal items like hiking shoes, insect repellent, dry clothes, toiletries, and a reusable water bottle.

    We recommend participants be at least 12 years old and in good health. Families with teenagers are welcome for shorter treks.
    Yes, the Ketambe Village 1D Tour includes cultural interaction with locals, learning about traditional lifestyles, and visiting scenic spots around the village.
    The best season is from May to September, when the trails are drier and the weather is more predictable.
    The nearest airport is Kutacane or Medan. From Medan, it’s about an 8–10 hour drive. We can help arrange private transfers upon request.
    Yes, our guides are licensed and trained in jungle safety and first aid. You’ll be briefed before departure on how to stay safe and comfortable during the trek.
    Electricity is only available before and after the trek. Bring a power bank if you’d like to take photos during your journey.
    We keep our treks small — usually 4–6 guests per guide to ensure a more personal and environmentally responsible experience.
    The trek continues with adjustments for safety. Our guides carry ponchos and waterproof covers for your belongings.
    Absolutely. We can adjust the duration, route, or focus — whether you want more wildlife encounters, riverside camping, or village interaction.
    Yes. We collaborate with local Ketambe guides and ensure part of your tour directly supports the village economy and rainforest conservation efforts.
    Yes, private treks are available upon request for those who prefer a more flexible schedule or private experience.
    It’s best to book at least 1–2 weeks in advance to secure guide availability and permit arrangements.
    We highly recommend having travel insurance that covers trekking and outdoor activities in remote areas.
    If you need to stop early due to fatigue or health, our guide will escort you safely back to basecamp. Partial refunds are not available once the trek begins.
    Trekking through untouched rainforest, hearing gibbons at dawn, and possibly spotting wild orangutans swinging above you — it’s pure jungle magic.
