We were up and out early to start the Serait trail which was supposed to be a good trail for spotting proboscis monkeys. It was a tough trail - walking in all the forests seems to be as you always end up dripping in sweat due to the humidity. We saw some more cool insects and plants but on the return part of the trail we heard load crashing sounds in the trees and grunting. Proboscis Monkeys!! It was amazing to stand there and watch and listen to the animals moving all around us. At one point we couldnt see any monkeys but we could hear them going mad in the trees. We left that troop of monkeys and continued on the trail where we saw another troop. Brilliant!
We returned to our room to have a shower before lunch and before we left the Park. Around the accommodation area we saw some more bearded pigs with some piglets. We heard banging on one of the hostel roofs across the path from ours - turned out to be Proboscis monkeys jumping from the trees to the trees nearer to us. we watched them for a while and then left for lunch. We left the park at 3pm by boat where we saw a kingfisher and the same eagle soaring over the sea.
Bako was incredible and we saw more than expected!
