During the trek, you’ll learn about the fundamentals of jungle survival, jungle ecology and flora identification from your guide. Returning back to the park headquarters on a different trail, you’ll pass Lubok Simpon water hole where you can jump in for a swim.
At night, you’ll have the option to participate in an animal 'vigil' at the tree house. However, sighting of animals is not guaranteed.
