{timg title:=”Jungle Trekking on Koh Chang” thumb:=”images/stories/srv/blog/jungle4.jpg” img:=”images/stories/srv/blog/jungle4b.jpg” gal:=”gallery-content”} Enjoying a jungle trek will allow you to see a wide variety of flora and fauna including monkeys, birds, tarantulas, lizards and snakes. Hire a guide for the day and embark on your own private trek through the trees, jungle and waterfalls. If you have time, be sure to cool down by going for a swim underneath the stunning waterfalls, or perhaps you would prefer to get right to the heart of the jungle and capture a monkey grooming its mate or a large jungle spider weaving its web. {timg title:=”Jungle Trekking on Koh Chang” thumb:=”images/stories/srv/blog/jungle2.jpg” img:=”images/stories/srv/blog/jungle2b.jpg” gal:=”gallery-content”}If you would like to take yourself off without the expertise of a guide, there are many routes you can take; just be sure to take a map with you and try not to get lost! Make your way to the southern part of the island by car and take the walking track back to the northern part. The trail is a one-way loop which is shaded by the imposing trees. The trek is, by and large, a leisurely walk however there will be some climbing as well as few streams to cross. {timg title:=”Jungle Trekking on Koh Chang” thumb:=”images/stories/srv/blog/jungle10.jpg” img:=”images/stories/srv/blog/jungle10b.jpg” gal:=”gallery-content”} |

Much of the wildlife might run and hide however, unless you are with an experienced guide who can tell you when and what to look out for. A guide will be able to follow animal tracks and will know the favourite haunts of most rainforest species. {timg title:=”Jungle Trekking on Koh Chang” thumb:=”images/stories/srv/blog/jungle6.jpg” img:=”images/stories/srv/blog/jungle6b.jpg” gal:=”gallery-content”} |
