The Monkeys Welcoming us!
From the waterfall exit, we took the bus to Teluk Bahang to go to Penang national park! We registered our names in the counters for free entrance! Then we asked the free map, review our next destination.. here it's Monkeys Beach.. hmm.. about 1500 meters, take times around 1.5-2hours to reach there.
I observed the faces of my Iranian tracking buddies! They look okay.. still survive and ready with a little bit lazy looks thinking about this tracking, another 1.5 hours walking man.. hehhehe.. But it's already set up and agreed. After registering our names, we start our tracking from the main entrance of National Park!
Along the tracking, the jungle paths are nice a little bit challenging, environment very nice and cold weather, we are rounding the beach through the jungle path, and humidity higher here. We passed by the USM Coastal Research Center area already, it's still about half way to go! It's a nice research center, just in the middle of jungles and just opposite is a beautiful beach with white sands and small nice pier.
My Iranian tracking buddies, start talking in Persian, Then I asked them, If they still want to continue until the Monkey beach or ending here. Most of them said, yeah we will proceed further to Monkey beach. Well We continue our tracking! the further the path more natural, and many big trees along with the strong roots appeared in the surface of the lands. While we come closer to the beach, the Monkeys welcoming us. Some monkeys blocking our ways, but while They saw us, They are running, climbing the trees, try to avoid us.. Their brothers and sisters :) hehehe
The monkeys here are tames enough, not as wild as in Bali, where the Monkeys like to grasp your things and return it when you feed them. :) So, it's always good not to feed them, let them feed by themselves in the natural way! We took some photos and videos of the monkeys then continue our tracks. Finally, we are here... nice and white sand beach!.. As my plan to go swim.. so, I'll :)
At Monkey beach, we are resting for a while. Our female Iranian trackers - the leader, the only female joint us, prepared some bread with vegetables, so we ate that nan. Then I'm going to have my swimming after so long! On way back we decided to rent a boat to go back to the harbor of Teluk Bahang! I Enjoy my swimming.. here at the Monkey Beach.
