Hindang Caves and Wild Monkeys

Hindang, Leyte tailors one tourist destination featuring big caverns, inhabited by wild monkeys. The caves, however, are lifeless chambers of which have barren spikes and stalagmites.

You’ll be able to see monkeys everywhere but they were displeasingly untamed mammals. I think they don’t want to be stared of. Haha. They can easily get anxious and would get cheesed off in a breeze when you gaze at them so I think it is best to just ignore them while exploring the area.

One thing that attracts visitors was the zipline activity at Hindang Caves. Guests ride through a wire rope with straps or harness attached to them, suspended above a slope to which a sheave is inclined.

Well, without any doubt, we tried this activity for P180 each. This was actually my first zipline adventure.

The moment the in-charge pushed me off the edge, I shouted not in dread, but for that awesome feeling at the top, truly breath-taking! While the wind coolly brushes your face on the ride, you’ll also be able to see the sea from up there, and the nearby areas of Hindang town. It was so amazing and I like to try it next time soon.

Please visit this tourist destination in Hindang, Leyte. The local residents depend their living here. Guests will not just enjoy the fun activity but they can also help them earn money since this was provided by the municipality to furnish livelihood to the locals.
