It's 'Monkey Business' at this viewing point at Malshej Ghat in Maharashtra. Tourists are seen handing out bananas to a family of Macaques loitering near the road. The Macaques seem quite acquainted with being handed out food and have no qualms taking the bananas from the hands of the tourists. This is not a healthy practice for the balance of the environment. Construction work at the road is ongoing with heavy machinery on site. The rocky landscape and walls of the road are wrapped in metal nets as a precaution against rocks falling down and landslides. This footage is part of the broadcast stock footage archive of Wilderness Films India Ltd., the largest HD and 4K collection from South Asia. The collection comprises of 150, 000+ hours of high quality broadcast imagery, mostly shot on 4K,
