ETHICAL TREKKING PIONEER IN BUKIT LAWANG
Half Day Trek
DISCOVER THE SUMATRAN JUNGLE
This short half day trek is the perfect option for families with young children, people who don't feel like they're fit enough for a long trek or those who are on a tight schedule. This trek will take you at the entrance of the rainforest and gives you chances to spot semi-wild Orangutans and other wildlife if you're lucky. Watch them and their babies swinging in the trees. After some fresh tropical fruits, enjoy the way back by tubing down the river!
