I’ve always thought it would be fun to see monkeys like this, but it sounds like they are extremely pesky. It would be terrifying to have baboons rummage through your kitchen.

In reply to Sally. It totally depends on the monkeys Salliy, Sri Lankan ones have nice manners, as do Sri Lankan people.

I’ve never been around wild monkeys and I really wonder if I’ll be completely terrified or not even care… to be determined…

Haha at least they smell good. Nice.

A monkey recently bit a piece out of our bag as I was lifting my toddler out of the way! They can certainly be cheeky, like their reputation.

I put my washing all over the balcony in Varanasi – not a monkey in sight at the time, so I wasn’t totally stupid – but by the time I want out the building was covered in them. So raced back to my room, flung open the doors to the balcony – face to face with a monkey inspecting my pants. He didn’t give them back.

And baboons – no, don’t mess with baboons. And if you have an outside toilet, or are staying on a campsite, close the toilet door. You really don’t want to sit on one when you get in the night for a wee.
