点评:We wanted our honeymoon to be more than just beautiful beaches and relaxation – we also wanted to experience a real adventure. And that is exactly what we found with Ketambe Jungle Trekking and Putra on Sumatra. ❤️🌿
Our goal was to see orangutans in the wild, far away from mass tourism. And for that, Ketambe is simply perfect. It is still wonderfully authentic and untouched and cannot be compared to a tourist hotspot like Bukit Lawang. If you are looking for nature, authenticity and a truly special jungle experience, Ketambe is the place to go!
We spent three nights in the jungle and probably saw only around ten other people during the entire trek. Instead, we were surrounded by untouched rainforest, hiking for several hours each day in search of orangutans. And the experiences we were rewarded with are memories we will never forget. We had several incredible encounters, with orangutans swinging through the trees just a few meters above our heads. 🦧
It is important to understand that if you expect fed or habituated orangutans, Ketambe is not the place for you. There are no guarantees and no staged animal encounters here. You search for the animals in their natural habitat and sometimes have to hike for hours through the jungle. One day we were simply unlucky and didn't find any – but that is nature, and that is exactly what makes the successful encounters so special.
A huge part of what made our experience so wonderful were our two guides, Karim and Abdul. They were incredibly warm, kind and attentive and put so much effort into making our entire trek unforgettable. It never felt like we were simply on a tour – it felt much more like sharing an adventure with friends.
And then there was Karim's amazing cooking! 😍 Every morning, lunch and evening we were treated to delicious local food. After hours of hiking through the jungle, sitting down to a freshly prepared meal was always a real highlight.
Since this was our honeymoon, Karim, Abdul and Putra also made sure that we had our own private camp, without any other tents around us. Our tent was set up in a beautiful spot right beside the river. We could sit there surrounded by nature and watch the little monkeys washing themselves in the river – while they were just as curious about us and watched us washing as well! It honestly doesn't get much more natural or romantic than that. ❤️🌿
The whole experience was also perfectly organised from start to finish. The airport shuttle arranged by Putra, both from the airport to Ketambe and back again, worked flawlessly. Everything was smooth and reliable, which meant we could simply relax and enjoy the adventure.
A huge thank you to Abdul, Karim and Putra! You made such an important part of our honeymoon truly unforgettable and gave us a genuine, wild and incredibly special jungle adventure that we will remember for the rest of our lives.
If you want to experience orangutans truly in the wild, away from mass tourism and together with wonderful people, we can wholeheartedly recommend Ketambe Jungle Trekking.
An unforgettable experience! 🦧🌴❤️
翻译:我们希望蜜月之旅不仅仅只是享受美丽的海滩与放松休闲——我们还希望能体验一场真正的冒险。而我们在苏门答腊岛的凯塔姆贝丛林徒步之旅以及向导普特拉身上,恰恰找到了这样的体验。❤️🌿
我们的目标是在远离大众旅游区的地方亲眼目睹野生红毛猩猩。对此而言,凯塔姆贝简直是绝佳之选。那里依旧保持着原始而纯真的风貌,未受任何破坏,完全无法与布基特劳昂这样的旅游胜地相提并论。如果你渴望亲近大自然……若想体验原汁原味的热带雨林之旅,凯塔姆贝绝对是最佳之选!
我们在丛林中度过了三个夜晚,整个行程中大概只遇到了十来个人。取而代之的是,我们被未受破坏的原始雨林环绕,每天徒步数小时来寻找红毛猩猩的踪迹。那些难忘的经历如今已成为我们一生中珍贵的回忆——我们多次亲眼目睹红毛猩猩就在离我们仅几米远的树梢间荡来荡去。需要明白的是,如果你期望看到被人工喂食或已习惯与人类接触的红毛猩猩,那么凯塔姆贝并不是适合你的地方。这里没有任何保证,也不会安排人为安排的动物互动环节。你必须亲自在它们的自然栖息地中寻找它们,有时甚至需要在丛林中徒步数小时。有一天我们运气不佳,什么也没找到——但这就是大自然的规律,也正因如此,那些成功的邂逅才显得如此珍贵。让我们的旅程如此难忘的关键因素,就是我们的两位向导——卡里姆和阿卜杜勒。他们热情友善、体贴入微,倾尽全力让我们整个徒步之旅都成为一生难忘的回忆。我们丝毫不觉得自己只是在参加旅游团,更像是正与好友们一同经历一场冒险。
还有卡里姆精湛的烹饪手艺!😍 每天早晨、午餐时间以及晚上,我们都能品尝到美味的当地佳肴。在历经数小时的热带雨林徒步之后……能坐下来享用刚做好的饭菜,始终是一大乐事。
由于这是我们的蜜月,卡里姆、阿卜杜尔和普特拉还特意为我们安排了专属的营地,四周没有任何其他帐篷。我们的帐篷搭在河边一处风景优美的地方。我们可以坐在那里,被大自然环绕,看着小猴子们在河里洗澡——而它们也对我们充满了好奇,同样在观察我们洗澡呢!说真的,没有比这更自然、更浪漫的了。❤️🌿
整个行程从始至终都安排得井然有序。Putra安排的机场接送服务,无论是从机场到凯塔姆贝还是返回,都运作得毫无差错。一切都顺畅又可靠,让我们能够安心放松,尽情享受这段旅程。
衷心感谢阿卜杜勒、卡里姆和Putra!你们让我们蜜月中这段经历变得终生难忘,也让我们真切感受到了真正的热情与关怀。一次狂野又极其特别的丛林探险,我们将终生铭记。
如果你想在远离大众旅游区的地方真正体验野生红毛猩猩,同时还能结识一群很棒的人,我们真心推荐凯塔姆贝丛林徒步之旅。
一次终生难忘的体验!🦧🌴❤️
