There is a 180-meters long hanging wooden tree-top bridge that passes through the dense jungle. The bridges slowly elevates its height and you’ll find strolling yourselves amidst the dense forest. At the beginning, there are few stairs to climb and then you can start having a fairly long walk through out the height and breadth of the jungle.
