Jahoo Gibbon Camp – Sen Monorom – 1 Day Tour
This is the most popular tour visiting the project for a Gibbon and Wildlife watching tour. The tour leaves very early in the morning from Sen Monorom. During the early morning walk with your guide, you will locate one of two residential troops of Yellow-Cheek Gibbon that reside in the forest area. You should also look out for pig-tailed and long-tailed macaques and the silvery lutung, also known as the silvered leaf monkey or silvery langur.
For bird watchers, there are opportunities to catch a glimpse of peacock pheasants, green peafowl, Siamese fireback, great hornbill, and Orange-necked partridge, among others. The forest is also home to one of the largest concentrations of woodpecker, including white-bellied, heart-spotted, black and buff, great slaty and pale-capped woodpecker. After lunch at Jahoo Gibbon Camp you will continue your trek along other more isolated trails in the forest, before transferring back to your hotel in Sen Monorom in the late afternoon.
