Two Day Trekking
North Sumatra is a photographers dream with its vast rainforests filled with unique wildlife, steaming volcanoes, and lush green rice fields. We can provide a package to help you find and photograph these wondeful places. Whether you want to photograph orangutans, birds, macro flower photography or cultural photos, we can help organise your trip.
We believe photography is a great way to raise awareness about the rainforest and Sumatra's critically endagered animals.
