Conservation Note
Operator routes lines to avoid cutting canopy trees and emphasizes leave-no-trace protocols; visitors are asked to minimize single-use plastic and follow guide instructions to protect wildlife.
The course sits in an area historically farmed by Lanna communities; modern canopy tourism here supports village incomes while promoting forest access without large-scale logging.
