About

Overlooking the Village of Anandapur are multiple shrines which siamangs and white-cheeked gibbons call home. The shrines are on separate islands and are connected by rope bridges that can only be traversed by the animals that live there. These shrines and the animals that inhabit them can be seen throughout the Village of Anandapur. The gibbons are typically on the shrine located closest to Maharajah Jungle Trek and Kali River Rapids. The siamangs are typically located on the shrine closest to the Discovery River and main path.
