after spending 2 days in singapore as the first stop of our honeymoon, we embarked on an unforgettable 5-day jungle trek in bukit lawang, north sumatra (indonesia) with 'Sumatra Ecotravel'.

this trek took us deep into the lush rainforests, where every step was filled with new sights and sounds. we were lucky enough to spot groups of playful monkeys swinging through the trees, but the highlight of our trip was seeing a wild elephant for the first time—an incredibly rare moment that even surprised our guides!

the trek was a true adventure, from crossing rivers and hiking steep trails to camping beneath the jungle canopy. fully immersed in the beauty of sumatra’s wilderness, we experienced the raw, untamed nature that made this journey so special. join us as we explore the heart of the jungle and share some unforgettable moments from this once-in-a-lifetime trek!
