You will be picked up from the airport in  Palembang and brought to your hotel  (or upon request from your hotel in Palembang). The next day you can explore the city of Palembang.  On the third day you leave for the beautiful Lake Ranau where you will stay 2 nights.

Danau Ranau  is a big vulcanic lake surrounded by mountains.  Maybe Lake Ranau is  the most beautiful lake of Sumatra. You stay in a bungalow with a wonderful view over the lake.  On the 5th day you leave for  Krui, while under way passing a part of the Bukit  Barisan Seletan National Park (3.568 km²). From Krui you can make small trips, for example  you can  visit   Pulau  Pisang,  a small  island where you can snorkle and swim.  Eventually you can stay the night on the island.  On the seventh day  you leave for Bandar  Lampung,  the capital of the province Lampung.  The next morning you can easily walk and shop around in this friendly big city.

After exploring Bandar Lampung you leave for Way Kambas, where you will visit the elephant training centre. Wild elephants are trained to be useful on several projects (and to entertain visitors!). A good initiative of the province Lampung.  Many elephants were killed by the population because they distroyed their villages. Now by using the elephants on several projects, they are not only  protected but also useful to the population. You stay in Way Kanan (2 n.), in a very simple basic camp at a riverbank in the jungle.  A boat trip on the Way Kanan river gives you a view over the beautiful flora and fauna. The park is well known for the many tropical bird species.

On day 10 you leave for Kalianda, a quiet town situated on the southern tip of Sumatra.  In  Kalianda  you can relax at the white beaches and explore the beautiful surrounding.  From Kalianda you can make a boat trip to the (in)famous Krakatau vulcano and eventually stay the night on a nearby small island.  On day 12 you cross over with a ferry to Java, where you can stay the night in Jakarta or in Bogor. The next day we will bring you to the airport of Jakarta or you extend your trip and travel further through Indonesia  with B&B Touring Service Indonesia. (see also our routes in Java/Bali ).
