This 11 day trek takes place in the Gunung Leuser National Park, one of the only places in the world where you can still see the Sumatran orangutan in the wild. They share these forests with a whole host of other wildlife; gibbons, elephants, hornbills, Thomas leaf monkeys, macaques, sunbears and the elusive Sumatran tiger are just a handful of the thousands of animal and plant species found in this unique World Heritage ecosystem. Throughout your trek you will learn to spot an astounding array of plants and wildlife and hone many rainforest skills. Sumatra's forests are a last refuge for many of the world's most endangered species. This trek is designed to make you feel at home in their world, and raise funds for conservation projects. By joining the trekking team, you will be helping to protect Sumatran orangutans, their forests and their future.
The trip also includes a visit to Tangkahan, "the hidden paradise of Sumatra" - view a short film about how ecotourism has helped the local people turn their backs on illegal logging.
