You start at 07:00 with a cup of tea and breakfast, then proceed to Bambangan past the elephant centre to a new ranger station created especially for anti poaching and reforestation. This station has been formed by a collaboration between some of the park rangers and the NGO ALERT where you have a picnic lunch and learn from these unique rangers (dedicating their lives to Conservation) about their conservation work. After lunch you can plant a tree as part of assistance to their work and also leave behind a memory of your visit.
