On this 4-day, 3-night trek, you will explore wilderness trails and discover the forest's riches and medicinal plants. With luck, you may spot rare wildlife such as wild peacocks, hornbills, giant squirrels, or honey bear tracks. Each night brings a new campsite, and your guides prepare breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day.

First camp for the night

In the afternoon, around 3:30 PM, you reach the Jambur Batu River and set up camp for the night. Swim, relax, and enjoy afternoon coffee and tea while our team prepares a jungle dinner of local Indonesian cuisine. In the evening, play games or stargaze. Mosquito net, mattresses, pillows, and blanket keep you comfortable through the night.

Day 2

Morning · At camp

Wake to the forest

Wake to the sounds of monkeys, birds, and insects around camp — an experience you will not forget.

After breakfast

Trek and waterfall pool

After breakfast, set out on a 3–4-hour trek. The deeper you go into the rainforest, the better your chances of spotting wildlife. For lunch, your guide prepares a simple meal at the top of a hill. The views along the route through the national park make for a memorable afternoon. You can swim in the jungle pool beneath a beautiful waterfall.

Evening · Jambur Batu River

Second camp for the night

Our team sets up camp for the second night on the banks of the Jambur Batu River and serves Indonesian dinner with refreshing drinks. Spend the evening in your jungle tent playing cards or watching the night sky. Night in the jungle is an entirely different experience — different animals, different sounds, and a sky full of stars.

Day 3

Morning · Upstream

6 hours along the Bohorok

In the morning, wake once again to the sounds of the forest. After breakfast, trek deeper into the jungle, hiking upstream along the Bohorok River for about 6 hours. You will take several breaks to observe the flora and fauna, enjoy lunch, and sample tropical fruit.
