An overnight trek, not a hotel package
Your 2-day jungle trek.
One night in the rainforest.
This outline shows how a 2 days / 1 night orangutan trek can unfold. Your guide adjusts walking, breaks and the route to weather, wildlife movement and your group.
Into the forest, then camp.
Meet around 08:00–09:00, discuss safety and enter the forest with your guide. Pause for wildlife observation, explanations, fruit and meals, then settle into a basic jungle camp for dinner and the night.
Wake to the forest. Return together.
After breakfast, the guide plans the morning activity around conditions and the agreed route. Overnight treks usually finish around 14:00–15:00. Return tubing is possible only when the river and weather are safe.
Choosing 3 days / 2 nights? Add a second camp night and more time in the forest. It is the duration and pace that change; a longer trek does not promise a particular animal or a fixed remote route.
Clear plans. Fewer surprises.

A forest full of life. No wildlife promises.
Orangutans, gibbons, leaf monkeys and other wildlife move freely. Follow your guide’s distance instructions. Never feed, touch, bait or call animals closer; carry all waste out with you.
Before you decide
Good questions.
Clearer choices.
Ask us about your dates, walking comfort and interests. We will help you choose a suitable duration.
Talk to our local team ↗Does the 2 days / 1 night trek include a night in the jungle?
Yes. The 2D1N trek includes one night at a basic jungle camp during the trek. It is not a one-night lodge package with a short day walk. Lodge nights before and after the trek are arranged separately.
Should I choose 2D1N or 3D2N orangutan trekking?
Choose 2D1N for two days and one camp night, or 3D2N for three days and two camp nights. Consider your available time, fitness and comfort with basic camp facilities. Both explore the rainforest with a guide; neither guarantees orangutans or any other species.
Can I join a trekking group as a solo traveller?
Yes, you can ask us to check for guests with compatible dates and plans. A shared departure is not guaranteed. Standard prices require a minimum of two paying guests; if there is no group to join, the two-person rate applies.
What are the camp and walking conditions like?
Expect humidity, rain, uneven or slippery trails and basic sleeping, washing and toilet arrangements. A camp is not a lodge room. Tell us about your fitness, access concerns or children’s ages before booking so the guide can assess a suitable plan.
Are the park permit and return tubing included?
The national park permit is included in our published standard trek prices. Return tubing is included when river and weather conditions allow; it is not guaranteed. Confirm the route, return arrangements and complete inclusions with our team.
Where does the trek start, and can I stay at Back to Nature?
The meeting point and start location depend on the route and arrangements confirmed with your guide. Ask us to combine lodge nights before and after your trek. Back to Nature is reached by an approximately 30–40 minute riverside walk from the village; porter help can be arranged.
