Introduction:
This option provides the highest chance to spot wildlife as it is very deep jungle we will be trekking. We will be walking among the giants of the jungle, hundreds of years old, trees are as big as skyscrapers, with girths that require 10 people holding hand-to-hand to surround. There is still much and varied exotic wildlife to be spotted, among the most common are the giant gaur (wild buffalo), four kinds of monkeys ( silver langur, red shanked douc langur, white tale langur, macaque), gibbons, wild cats, fishing cats, civets, etc.and the other rare birds including vultures, peacocks, great ibis, giant horn-bill, etc.

| Caveat Ethnic Tribal People |
- Evening: For a real treat, we sample the local jar wine, shared and sipped through a straw (how to make: collect many different types of herbal trees including sweet vine and the nest of a kind of bird called dove then they pound them while they steam rice as well and mixed them together then keep in the jar around one to two weeks, the alcohol is about 10% so the taste is sweet and sour which is normally said "very nice" by visitors) to enjoy. Share this unique experience with each other, for the tribal people as well as yourselves, under the clear stars above our head, in the jungle.
Day two: (5 Hours Trek)
