Rather than rush a trip to pamah semilir, why not camp for 1 night?

​

Travel by motorbike or by car, passing monoculture scenery and rural villages. You will stop half way to explore the crystal clear waters of Kolam Abadi, then taking about an 1 hour trek/float through the river to Tongkat Waterfall. Clamber over rock, step through rapids, float and jump from the small cliffs.

Once changed, enjoy a cup of tea before continuing onto Pamah Semilir to enjoy the clean air and beautiful scenery. Stop along the way to get local lunch with views of the mountains.

Another short drive, you will reach Pamah Semilir. Drive up a stoney track before reaching Rumah Pohon Habitat. Set up camp, relax, play cards, watch the sunset and eat a simple dinner.

Wake up to sunrise or sleep in.

After breakfast, you will head to Yo's Hill for selfie photo fun and scary swings.

​

On return to Bukit Lawang, decide whether to stop at one of the natural swimming attractions. Brave to jump into the freezing water? Or just relax taking in the mountain scenery and air.
