‘Jungle Flight’ is a series of tree top ziplines set in the jungle near Chiang Mai and we had a fun/scary morning there. There was a troop of us as my friend Lauren was visiting aswell as our other friends Euan, Glen and Cathal. 

Mum and Dad came out to visit us to experience ‘backpacking’ and we had a great 3 night stay at Cinta Alam guesthouse, with 2 days of jungle trekking with the excellent Abu as our guide. Ketambe is an area on the edge of the beautiful Gunung Leuser National Park in the Aceh province. While trekking in the rainforest we were lucky to see lots of amazing wildlife including 6 orangutans, a viper, Thomas Leaf monkeys, a flying gekko, an owl, loads of hornbills, giant and mouse squirrels and lots of cool insects and plants. Amazing! 

Beautiful national park with jungle and caves. One of the giant caves known as “Deer Cave” is enormous and home to a huge (millions) population of bats. The pic that shows a squiggly line in the sky is a massive group of the bats exiting the cave at dusk in order to feed. The cave featured in an episode of planet earth.
