Hike & Train with
Penjaga Gunung
Step into the forest with Penjaga Gunung participants on a journey that goes beyond the trail.
This is not just a hike. It is an opportunity to experience the forest through the eyes of those who have lived alongside it for generations.
As part of the Penjaga Gunung programme, these experiences also serve as practical training opportunities for participants working towards becoming future guides, storytellers, and stewards of the forest.
