The exact inclusions depend on the trekking package you choose.
2. How likely is it to see wild Sumatran orangutans?
Bukit Lawang is one of the best places in the world to see wild Sumatran orangutans. Although wildlife sightings can never be guaranteed, experienced local guides know the rainforest well and will maximize your chances of observing orangutans and other native wildlife in their natural habitat.
3. Which jungle trekking tour should I choose?
Half-day and full-day treks are ideal if you have limited time. A 2-day trek offers the classic Bukit Lawang jungle camping experience, while 3 to 5-day expeditions take you deeper into Gunung Leuser National Park for greater opportunities to encounter wildlife and explore untouched rainforest.
