Do you want to discover the hidden secrets of the jungle at night? Join us for a two-day, one-night jungle trek to the famous Goa Kelawar, the jungle bat cave. You’ll sleep beneath the jungle canopy and meet animals who are most active after dark. You will also have the chance to encounter wild organutan, gibbons, monkeys and the Leuser Ecosystem’s incredible birdlife. The adventure ends with an exhilarating trip down the river on a traditional raft back to Tangkahan.
