Although we didn’t see many birds up there (we went around mid-morning so maybe we should have been there earlier) it was quite an adventure.  Just getting there through the rainforest trails is a spectacular walk along a well-marked walkway.

This humongous tree is about halfway along the trail.

Follow the signs up a VERY steep trail which thankfully has places to sit down and rest as I found it exhausting.  At the top of the trail, there will be people to take your entry fee of 5 ringgits each.

Then you start the wobbly walk across some really stunning scenery.  Since we arrived about an hour before it closed the staff kept hustling us along.

The only bird I was able to see along the walkway.

Towards the end there is a steep descent which was really precarious and I had to take it very slowly!

Just before the exit, one of the staff pointed out a gibbon in the distant trees.

This guy is probably thinking “I wish these tourists would hurry up so I can go home!”

Now we are on the ground looking up at the final platform.
