Meet & Greet with our driver at the airport in Medan (or at your hotel if applicable).
We drive to Bukit Lawang where you check-in at your hotel. Depending on the time of your arrival, you may also already meet and hang out with the Local Guides team in Bukit Lawang.
We depart from Bukit Lawang around 8-9 am after breakfast at your hotel. We walk into the Gunung Leuser National Park and start an adventurous journey together!
Along the way we see a lot of wildlife, such gibbons, leaf monkeys, longtail and pigtail macaques, flying squirrels, Sumatran peacocks, hornbills and of course orangutans.
As we walk through the jungle, our guide will show the medicinal plants and how to use them in practice. After a nice lunch in the afternoon, we continue towards our camp site where we will rest, get a hot drink, take a refreshing bath in the clean stream and then we will end our day at dark with a well-deserved diner at a campfire or candle lights.
Overnight in our private jungle camp in Gunung Leuser National Park.
Waking up in the middle of the jungle is a magical feeling. You hear the morning sounds of the birds and the excitement of the gibbons in the distance as you breath the fresh air.
After a good breakfast, we get ready to leave the camp and walk for 5 to 6 hours in the jungle towards another camp site (usually “Aras Pinang”). Along the way, we enjoy the nature and wildlife, try all sorts of ‘jungle-food’ and how to recognize them and use them. We have lunch in the jungle somewhere half-way.
Then, our tube rafts will be brought and prepared, and we head for an exciting adventure on the jungle river (alternatively, we can return by foot depending on your personal wish)!
In Bukit Lawang we pack everything and continue the journey by car to Berastagi. Check-in at our hotel in Berastagi in the late afternoon.
Pick-up early in the morning and drop off at the starting point of the trek on mount Sibayak. The hike to the volcano takes almost 2 hours. At the top your guide explains the volcano’s history and geology, as you wait for the magical moment that the sun rises and shines into the mountain.
Then we depart to Lake Toba. Along the way we have lunch at the beautiful Sipiso-Piso waterfall. The next stop is in Simarjunjung at the top of the mountain with a scenic panorama.
We continue to Parapat, from where we take the ferry to Samosir island and check-in to our hotel in the late afternoon.
There’s a lot to do around Lake Toba, so you decide your own pace and activities. Enjoy the beautiful scenery, swim at the beach, attend a traditional Batak dance, or visit Ambarita, Simanindo, Tomok or the Batak Museum. Or go to the other side of the lake and visit Taman Eden 100 or enjoy the breath taking views as you take a coffee.
Although the activities themselves are not included, a car and driver will be at your disposal to bring you anywhere on Samosir island on this free day.
In the morning we continue explore this beautiful island.
After lunch we go by ferry back to Perapat and continue by car to Medan. Check-in at the hotel in the evening.
Private transfer from your hotel in Medan to Kualanamu International Airport in Medan. Here we say goodbye and give each other a big hug.
