The Experience

Before You Go

Wear closed-toe shoes

ATV sections are dusty and the zipline course uses ladders — sturdy sneakers or light hiking shoes are best.

Bring a change of clothes

You’ll likely sweat; a dry shirt and small towel in the transfer vehicle make the ride back more comfortable.

Listen to the safety briefing

Guides will fit your harness and explain belay points — following instructions is the easiest way to stay safe.

Choose a morning slot

Mornings are cooler and visibility is clearer for photo opportunities on the platforms.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Short viewpoint trail near the entry offers quiet vistas over rubber plantations.
  • Small roadside stalls nearby serve fresh coconut water and local snacks worth trying after the tour.

Wildlife

  • Long-tailed macaque
  • various tropical birds such as sunbirds and bulbuls

Conservation Note

Flying Hanuman emphasizes limited impact construction — platforms are designed to fit trees and avoid major pruning. Visitors should follow leave-no-trace rules and avoid feeding wildlife.

The area sits on low granite ridges; locals historically used these slopes for rubber and fruit cultivation, and adventure operators now adapt old access routes for recreation.
