The Jungle Never Sleeps: A Nocturnal Adventure in Khao Sok
The jungle never sleeps. As darkness falls, bats flap about in the night, frogs fill the air with their calls, and the moon and stars cast a pale light on the canopy.
For the intrepid explorers, this evening journey ventures into the heart of Khao Sok National Park after dark. Equipped only with a flashlight, you'll set off into the jungle with your experienced guide.
Venturing into the park after sunset is the only way to truly experience the nocturnal side of the jungle, outside of TV documentaries. As you enter the park, you'll be greeted by nature’s own orchestra: chirping crickets, warbling birds, and the stirring of macaques and langurs. Throughout this walking safari, you'll be guided along well-trodden paths for a two-hour hike.
You'll have the chance to see bats, frogs, deer, and other jungle critters, but no one can predict exactly what you'll encounter. Occasionally, you might spot sleeping birds, monkeys, and langurs resting in the trees, as well as snakes, spiders, and lizards moving through the darkness.
