Two Day Trekking
North Sumatra is a photographers dream with its vast rainforests filled with unique wildlife, steaming volcanoes, and lush green rice fields. We can provide a package to help you find and photograph these wondeful places. Whether you want to photograph orangutans, birds, macro flower photography or cultural photos, we can help organise your trip.
We believe photography is a great way to raise awareness about the rainforest and Sumatra's critically endagered animals.

Review of: One day jungle trek
We had a great time on our one-day jungle trek. Right from the start Ellie and Tyson greeted us at our hostel with a fresh fruit juice and told us about the different options and worked with us to find the best trekking option for our schedules and budget. The trek started the next day and our guide was really great at going at a nice pace, not too fast, and taking the time to explain to us different things about the jungle and animals. We saw almost 10 orangutans! and other types of monkeys and birds as well. Tyson, our guide, also prepared a beautiful fruit display for a morning snack break and later our lunch as well. With Tyson we felt we were able to get away from the crowds and explore the jungle more privately and we visited a small waterfall and pool towards the end that was perfect for a nice swim after the heat. We can't thank the team enough for such an amazing time and for being so friendly and making our time in Bukit Lawang a lifetime memory. Thank you!
