Reisen
DAY 01: MEDAN - TANGKAHAN
 
In the morning you will be picked up at the hotel or the airport. In about 4 hours we will arrive at Tangkahan, located on the edge of the Gunung Leuser National Park.
 
Enjoy the impressive journey through the unique landscape of North Sumatra. We will stop at Batang Serangan market for coffee break.
 
Check in at Mountain View Cottages & Villa. The rest of the day is at your disposal, and you may want to take a short walk to the bridges Isabel and Nini Galang to enjoy the scenery of Gunung Leuser National Park. Through the bridge you can see the Elephant Camp or just relax (why not swim in Batang River?).
 
Overnight stay at the cottages.

 
DAY 02: TANGKAHAN - MEDAN (B-L)
 
After breakfast we will take a short walk to the elephant center. Please note: Tangkahan is a hidden gem nestled on the edge of the rainforest of Gunung Leuser National Park. Renowned for its commitment to eco-tourism, the local community offers a sustainable and responsible approach to travel. Eco-tourism revolves around wildlife conservation and community involvement by providing visitors with the opportunity to experience nature without harming the environment.
 
Tangkahan is a safe home not only for our Sumatran elephants.
 
Your experience in Tangkahan is not only an immersive encounter with nature but also plays an essential role in safeguarding the region’s biodiversity and empowering the local community.
 
                                                  Experience a refreshing encounter with Tangkahans gentle giants with an ethically responsible elephant bath. You will be introduced to the well-cared Sumatran elephants who have been rescued from logging and given a second chance to life. Accompanied by experienced mahouts (elephant handlers), you will join them at the riverbank for a memorable encounter. Brush by hand becomes part of their bathing ritual by removing debris from the elephants’thick skin. A refreshing respite from the tropical heat, this eco-conscious activity directly supports efforts to protect and preserve the endangered Sumatran elephants by contributing to their welfare and conservation.
After this experience you will start a tubing tour, also referred to as a “jungle taxi”, (combined with lunch by the riverbed), that takes you through the forest along the riverbed. It’s a delightful adventure for those seeking a dash of excitement. On that trip you will explore the Buluh River (hot spring, Garut waterfall and butterfly beach).
 
Enjoy the peaceful surroundings of the jungle and let the sounds of the forest entertain you. Late afternoon we will be back in Medan.
 
 End of program.
