The Experience
Before You Go
Wear closed-toe shoes
ATV tracks are rocky and wet in places; sturdy shoes protect toes and improve control.
Bring a small dry bag
Store phone, cash, and sunscreen in a zippered dry bag to keep gear dry during dusty rides and sudden showers.
Mind the weight limits
Zipline providers commonly limit participants to ~120 kg—double-check during booking to avoid surprises.
Start in the morning
Morning slots offer firmer trails and clearer views; afternoons can be prone to passing monsoon showers.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Short viewpoint trails near the Big Buddha that catch sunset colors with fewer tourists

Wildlife

Conservation Note
Off-road driving and canopy work can accelerate erosion and disturb wildlife; reputable operators limit routes, maintain equipment, and ask riders to stay on designated trails and pack out trash.
The Big Buddha is a modern landmark built from concrete and white marble in the late 20th–early 21st century, sited on older granite hills that have long been used by local communities for agriculture and shrines.
