    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.
