Fandee Hanging Park Tad Lo: Zipline & Monkey Bridge Adventure on the Bolaven Plateau
Fly across ravines and pick your way over swinging monkey bridges at Fandee Hanging Park in Tad Lo. This two-hour zipline and aerial course on the Bolaven Plateau pairs safety-focused instruction with panoramic waterfall views and a taste of local upland culture.
The Experience
Before You Go
Secure harness fit
Allow time for the safety briefing and tell guides about prior injuries so harness and helmet can be adjusted correctly.
Wear grippy shoes
Closed-toe hiking shoes or trail runners give traction on wet platforms and during monkey-bridge crossings.
Hydrate and snack
Bring 500–1,000 ml of water and a light snack—the course is short but intense, and humidity on the plateau can sap energy fast.
Plan around rain
The Bolaven Plateau’s weather can shift quickly; schedule during the dry window (Nov–Apr) or expect activity cancellations when heavy rain makes lines unsafe.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems

Conservation Note
Stick to marked trails, avoid feeding wildlife, and support local guides—sustainable tourism here helps fund village services and protects forests from small-scale clearing.
The Bolaven Plateau has long been an upland agricultural zone; volcanic soils attracted coffee cultivation introduced during French colonial times and sustained diverse local ethnic communities.
