The tour will begin after breakfast around 9:00 am. Our expert guide will pick up you at the hotel where you stay and you will joint with another group not more than six people unless your own group is larger than this size. We will pass the rubber plantation and that takes approximately about 15 minutes before we entrance the jungle. If we’re lucky we could see the Thomas leaf monkeys who eat the rubber fruits.
Once we arrive at the border of Mt. LeuserNational park, our guide will give you a briefing how to behave in the jungle. He’s a jungle expert and will explain to you all about flora and fauna. If we’re lucky we’ll see animals such as Sumatran orangutan, Thomas leaf-monkey, Silver leaf-monkey, Siamang, White-handed gibbon, Pig-tailed macaque, Monitor lizards, Sumatran peacock, Red giant flying squirrel and Malayan giant squirrel.
On the way we will stop for a break to eat the tropical fresh fruits that we had brought from home. After we finished eating, we continue our journey return to the Hotel/guest house.
