Dawn finds the rainforest breathing steam and sound — a chorus of insects, a distant gibbon whoops, and the soft rustle of an orangutan high in the canopy.

Children who are comfortable walking several kilometers on rough trails can join, but check with the operator about age limits and bring extra water and breaks.
Facilities are basic: campsites usually have simple latrines and guides supply bottled water or filtered water; bring a refillable bottle and purification tablets if desired.
Standard travel vaccinations are recommended; park entrance and guide fees are typically included by operators but confirm in advance—carry ID for registration.
