NOTES:
I do these trips on a personal basis with friends and clients that have done trips with me before. The trips are small , 6 - 8 people, I stick to the itinerary, stay busy but go at a steady, easy pace and stay flexible. I lived in Indonesia for 7 years, and have been to Sumatra on many expeditions. In addition to my years of experience as a guide, I have become familiar with their culture and customs, and I speak the Indonesian language. This is just a general itinerary. Trip itinerary is subject to change, so we will be prepared for "flexibility" for any situation, weather conditions, flight or transportation delays, etc.
