Photographing Bear Monkeys in Hakgala and Horton Plains

Hakgala Botanical Gardens is by far the easiest place to photograph the Bear Monkey. They have a thick, shaggy coat to survive the cold mountain air. They frequently forage in the large trees right above the paved walking paths in the gardens, so you do not even need an extreme telephoto lens. In Horton Plains, they tend to stay deep in the cloud forest canopy and are much harder to spot.
