Let me share you about the trip: The journey offers wildlife, volcanoes, and jungles. In Sumatra, you climb the volcano Sibayak and hike in the jungle, where you meet the large orangutans. At the world's largest volcanic lake, you visit tribesmen and bathe in waterfalls. If you would like to experience seeing the Sumatran orangutan (known as pongo Gabelli) living in the wild, Bukit Lawang in North Sumatra is one of only two places left in the world where you can see these animals still living in their natural environment. We are a community of local guides in Indonesia with a passion for the outdoors and our environment. We fight for our rainforests, we support our local communities, and we provide ecotours for local prices to promote responsible travel. What is included in the cost? - Accommodation (Shared rooms) - Transportation (Boat & car) - Entrance tickets -Breakfast -lunch and dinner while staying in the jungle -lunch after hot springs We can decide on the spot for food and other extra costs and split them later during the trip. The price for food per person for every day approximately would be 10-15 euros if we are reasonable but there is a bit of everything in Indonesia. About me: My name is Hayden and my biggest motivation by working in the travel industry so welcome to join my trips! Are you as excited as me? Send me a message and let me know 📬
