The Gibbon Experience


Huey Xai was the departure point for the Gibbon Experience. A 3 hour drive to the Bokeo conservation forest followed by a 3 hour hike led us to a small secluded village.







Suspended hundreds of feet in the air was a network of zip lines connecting tree houses and other parts of the rain forest canopy. Flying through, the view was fantastic.

Early in the morning, the valley was shrouded in mist. It was intense zipping, suspended so high and not knowing what was ahead. The gibbons could be heard singing in the distance, unfortunately I wasn't lucky enough to see one.

Later on in the day the sun came out and we zipped...

and hiked...
and crossed rivers...


The scenery was incredible.
