Trek

Ten hours

Medium intensity

The Spirit of Sunrise is a unique trek that allows guests to experience the awakening of the jungle. An early rise and a peaceful amble take guests to the edge of the Leuser National Park and its magnificent jungle. The Cheeky’s guides serve a hearty breakfast as the sun dramatically rises above the mountains and the treetops. A cacophony of jungle sounds and the song of the gibbon welcomes a brand new day. After breakfast, the trek takes guests deeper into the jungle in pursuit of spotting orangutans, monkeys, gibbons, hornbills and other colourful jungle birds and snakes. The incredible flora and fauna cocoon guests as they meander through narrow pathways. It’s highly unlikely that other junglers will be spotted at this early hour

Back at basecamp, therapists await guests with an array of soothing essential oils for a blissful sunset massage. A perfect way to relax aching muscles and to end the day before a delicious garden-to-table dinner.

This trek is perfect for those junglers wishing to spend as much time surrounded by nature as possible and allows them to witness wildlife awaken from a nights slumber and be ahead of other trekkers. The trek covers two days of ground in one day. A gentle tubing ride back to base gives tired junglers a chance to rest before enjoying a heady cocktail or a massage after an extraordinary day.

The Ultimate Kingdom trek is the unparalleled choice for adventurously buff ‘junglers’. Four or five days are spent exploring and traversing challenging terrains that take guests over the Bohorok and Jambur Batu rivers, past cooling waterfalls, through dense jungle and up and down undulating hills. The biodiversity of nature on this trek is peerless; Sumatra Cheeky Monkeys guides will share essential information on the animals and plants as guests walk through these seemingly untouched lands.

The Ultimate Kingdom crisscrosses through the deepest jungle and affords guests the opportunity of sighting wild Sumatran orangutans, Sumatran elephants, Sumatran monitor lizards, tortoises and brightly coloured river butterflies.

The Ultimate Kingdom five day trek offers the opportunity of exploring deep into even denser and more challenging jungle giving the brave ‘jungler’ more chances of seeing rare wildlife, elephants and perhaps tigers and fascinating paw prints. This trek will hone tracking skills.

Following days of intense climbing; the final day proffers a fun trip back to base. The ‘junglers-taxi’ lazily transports guests in their river tubes. Weary limbs will feel rested as the jungle speeds past. A cocktail full of punch awaits.

One day

Low to medium intensity

A beautiful, one-day trek for guests that don’t have the time or inclination to experience expeditions into the deep jungle, or have super-power fitness levels.  A peaceful amble takes guests on a journey of discovery into the Gunung Leuser National Park where there is a good chance of discovering orangutans, long-tail macaques, Thomas leaf monkeys, monitor lizards, hornbills and Great Argus pheasants. The guides will encourage ‘breathers’ so that guests can relax at waterfalls and streams so they can listen in awe, to the song of the jungle.

Half-day

Low intensity

Cheeky’s favourite trek is a half-day ramble through Gunung Leuser National Park.  This walk is recommended for guests with limited fitness levels or those with children that would like to experience a taster-trek that is not too taxing.  Guests experience the wonderment of nature, watch semi-wild orangutans, discover hidden ‘animal-homes’, learn a little about tracking and see a smorgasbord of plants, animals and other wildlife.
