Are you looking for a unique, exciting, and adventurous travel experience? The Day Trip Tangkahan could be the perfect choice. Located about 40 km or a 2.5-hour drive from Bukit Lawang, Tangkahan is known as North Sumatra’s “hidden paradise.” This place offers a combination of lush tropical forests, clear rivers, natural hot springs, and the opportunity to interact directly with Sumatran elephants.

What’s Interesting About a Day Trip Tangkahan?

Day Trip Tangkahan

In one full day, you will be invited to explore a variety of exciting activities. Starting from off-road trips, tubing down the river, bathing at waterfalls, to bathing elephants with local handlers. All of these activities are designed to provide a unique and unforgettable experience.

1. Off-Road Trip to Tangkahan

The adventure begins around 8:00–10:00 a.m. From Bukit Lawang, you will be taken by jeep or motorcycle through muddy and rocky roads. Although quite challenging, this trip offers a unique sensation. Along the way, you will pass through palm oil plantations and villages, and stop for a moment to enjoy the panoramic view of the tropical forest from a distance.

2. Bamboo River and Hot Springs

Upon arrival in Tangkahan, the first destination is Bamboo River. Here, you can swim in the clear, fresh river water that flows directly from the mountains. Not only that, there are also natural hot springs that can be used for relaxation. For those who like a challenge, there is a large rock that is commonly used for jumping directly into the river.

3. Waterfall and Butterfly Beach

Waterfall and Butterfly Beach

The journey continues by walking along the river to find a hidden waterfall. You can soak or simply enjoy a natural massage from the rushing water. After that, there is Butterfly Beach, a unique place where hundreds of colorful butterflies fly around. This view often makes tourists want to stay longer to take pictures.

4. River Tubing

The tubing trip usually ends at Gelugur Waterfall, a large, beautiful waterfall with a refreshing natural pool. This is where lunch is usually served, accompanied by the soothing sounds of nature.

5. Elephant Bathing Experience

The highlight of the Day Trip Tangkahan is the elephant bathing activity. At around 3:30 p.m., you will be taken to the elephant center, then walk to the riverbank to bathe these friendly animals with their keepers.
