Our tramping boots came in handy again as we set off to climb into the cloud forest of the Knuckles. Through tea plantations we enjoyed great views out on the ranges that resemble a clenched fist. Along the way we were spotting insects, birds and learning from Aravinda about the areas biodiversity which holds flora and fauna that can't be found anywhere else. He is a uni lecturer, freelance guide and expert on elephant behaviour! At the top the cloud rolled in, living up to its name. Meandering descent through the forest bought us to a small catholic tea planation workers village where our white faces and lace up boots drew a large crowd! Stopping for a cuppa drew large crowds and excited chatter. We reached the end just in time to dodge a tropical downpour. Five minutes later and we would have been drowned rats.
