Details

 

Short on time but eager for an adventure? This 1-day jungle trek in Ketambe is perfect for travelers who want to immerse themselves in the wild beauty of Gunung Leuser National Park. Hike through dense rainforests, listen to exotic bird calls, and if you’re lucky, spot Sumatran orangutans swinging freely in their natural habitat. This trek offers a compact yet immersive jungle experience, packed with nature, wildlife, and exploration.

Located in the heart of Sumatra’s Leuser Ecosystem, Ketambe is an unspoiled paradise for nature lovers and wildlife enthusiasts. Unlike the more commercialized Bukit Lawang, Ketambe offers a quieter, more authentic trekking experience, making it one of the best places in Indonesia to see wild orangutans, gibbons, hornbills, and other exotic species in their natural habitat. The jungle is home to towering trees, diverse plant life, and hidden waterfalls that create a magical atmosphere for an unforgettable trek.

During this full-day adventure, you’ll follow lush jungle trails, cross small rivers, and trek through a rainforest that is millions of years old. Your expert guide will share insights about the flora and fauna, helping you spot unique wildlife along the way. You’ll enjoy a relaxing lunch break by a river or waterfall, giving you time to soak in the serene surroundings before continuing your journey through the jungle.

By late afternoon, as the sunlight filters through the dense canopy, you’ll make your way back to Ketambe, feeling accomplished and deeply connected to the wild beauty of Gunung Leuser National Park.

    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.
